    "Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

    Mixed breeds. My cochin boys with my girls. The most interesting chicks came from my bantam columbian rock hen. Quote: I am pretty sure they use the term straight run a an excuse to dump as many roos as humanly possible. For obvious reasons people don't want as many roos as hens so they...

    "Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

    I've been a bit busy here but my hatch went alright, though the fertility was not astounding. Most of the blue and green eggs were infertile so no chicks from Annabelle. :( Overall I had 14 fertile eggs and 12 hatched. I also had 2 little zebra finches hatch too! The finches were a surprise. i'd...

    Vaseline. Clean the area and put a little bit on it. That should help with the poop sticking.

    I hope they are fertile. She was not very rooster tolerant and didn't really squat for them. Her eggs are dark so I can't tell yet.

    Well Annabelle took a turn for the worse over the course of the night and we lost her a short bit ago. It was all very sudden and unexpected. She was a good bird. I really hope those eggs of hers are fertile and I can get them to hatch. It would be a small blessing if I could at least have some...

    Pretty kitty! It looks like we are due to hatch at the same time!

    We gave her a soak and used some preparation H on the tissue, but it seems like a real catch 22. She cannot pass the large egg because of the massive prolapse, and I can't really get the tissue back in with the egg in the way. It is a tennis ball sized bulge. I gave her some calcium and have her...

    oh yes. The hatching addiction is a very real thing. I hatched for a year straight! The only way I was even able to keep myself in check over the last year was to forsake BYC until I was in a position where it wouldn't be really foolish to keep hatching. As soon as I saw chick pics again I...

    The good news is the farm innovators is working without issue. I desperately hope I can hatch those 4 eggs from my olive egger Annabelle because of the bad news.... She is in serious trouble. When I let them out for the day she had a weird waddle so I scooped her up and he has a really severe...

    Ugh, I think the heating element on the bator is messing up or something. No matter how much I turn the thing I can't get it up past 85°!!! I take back every recommendation for the Brinea Octagon 20 I have ever made. The first one I had that did this was used so I figured "Oh well, it was old"...

    My hatch is already off to a terrible start! I slowly tweaked my incubator to get it to just the right temp and it was doing good.... then last night it rained and now I can't get this stupid thing right!!! I can't get my temp out of the 80's and my freaking humidity is staying in the sixties...
