too many eggs!!!

I've had a couple of chicks that presented like classic stroke or CP; they were full of heart, both, struggling like crazy, would always push one leg out way too far and flip over. I rehabilitated both of them successfully by just continually (I mean consistently for hours..) righting them and...

I'm late getting back to Henry, for some reason it wasn't in my alerts. Thanks for posting the videos. It's so awesome to see someone put this kind of time and energy into helping another creature, even when it's inconvenient and seems doomed to failure. So here's a big WOOOOOO to you Sunshine...

Ok, I'm not quite sure if this was the place to post this or not, but I did a search and found one great but relatively nonspecific thread. So I'm starting this one to get opinions and experience from those who have gone before. I've learned a lot from my chu: English ivy and azaleas are not...

It's almost 70 here today! Even with 2 of my best girls gone, I got 7 or 8 yesterday. Oh David Keith, if only you would let the sun shine...

I think the camera made it look that way; it looks pinker than in RL; I'm not sure who laid that one. I've got a mix of araucana (eggers), australorp, cemani, marans, and who knows what else. Several of them came from eggs that were given me to hatch by a friend and were mixed prior to me...

I toast the eggshells up and recycle that back in too.

They don't get it often, I promise. I make them forage for their own food, mostly, but the weather hasn't allowed as much lately, especially for bugs. As many birds as I have fighting over it, none gets enough to be a problem. And I generally don't buy the stuff; husband does, then it doesn't...

I can't even fathom -20… :confused:

We cleaned out deep freeze and chu had a chu feast; I think they needed some saturated fat, b/c I got 9 eggs on Saturday; was getting 1-2 a day 3 weeks ago and it's cold as Tibet here right now. I was hanging on to some old bacon grease like people do in the land of grits (though it isn't a...

You are in really, really good company. Welcome and Happy New Year. ;)

cleaned out deep freeze over holidays, chu feast on fatty ham/deer/and beef parts from years past… I got upgraded to 9 eggs on Saturday! It's so cold they won't leave the nests today... Happy New Year!

These are the eggs I got 3 days ago.. girls slowed down just a little, but it's the most I've gotten since June last summer and so many shades of green… I really love the greyish olive one. Not sure who laid it yet, but most of my black hens that I know are a collective of...

I was actually referring to Arya28, but GRATs and Happy New Year! Those are quite adorable. It's even cold here in the land of grits.. took water outside and put in shed away from wind and it still froze in an hour. My chu are obviously tougher than I am.

I love the color on #4 :D Me wants chocolate brown chu.. Happy New Year!
