I've been busy today, but tomorrow will be busier. Worming treatment #2 is tomorrow. I also have to move some new pullets into the layers coop, as they are starting to lay now.

 

OH, and my Chocolate Orp gave me an egg today!  ya.gif

Look at that I think this thread is going to make it to 10000 posts!!!!!!!!!!

Yes ever since that day I have been having issues posting.  If I remember to preview first it is not too bad, but half the time I forget and have to do the "workaround" again.  roll.png

So Although i'm in tears and its completely nerve wracking assisting. I think I'm going to have to go in. While I took the white silkie out the other AM popped out of it's shell. Big feet on it. So I have three chicks out. One sitting there in the shell crying and one zipping. I don't think I will ever do this again. sad.png

 



I know how you feel, it is much easier to buy chicks at the feedstore.

My B/B/S Ameraucana just hatched.  It was a singleton egg I got in the swap.  It's feet are so huge, I'm assuming it must be a roo.  It's also very dark with white wing tips, so when it dries I assume it will be black.  Cute, but if all is true, I'd have to go looking for a girl.

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.

And now there's a chick in the incubator with the most eggs, and it's skootching along over the top of the eggs.

THe power of positive thinking . . . .

I was going to stay around for it when I was only seven away, then decided I'd rather go watch the Am hatch!
