    Niacin Deficiencies in Goslings & Ducklings (growth & leg problems)

    So far this morning everyone is thriving. All but the little runner duck are walking normal. Her left left leg seems to be turned inward at the knee (First leg joint from the foot). She can walk but not easily. I'm wondering if I should try to fashion some sort of keep the foot in line but I...

    Beautiful EE Rooster in need of re-homing

    Oh, we've let them know about their dogs who happen to be barking to hear themselves right this minute. Their answer is dogs are meant to be pets and barking is ok, roosters are not. Grrrrr....

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Thought I'd post an update on my babies. They are two weeks old this today and Thursday. They are so stinkin' cute but it's different for me since my first three depended on me as "mommy." These two run to my barred rock, Mabel. Loving watching them grow and Mabel take care of them. Been...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    I have two babies so far! Myrtie & Alice. I'm staying with my ancestor theme and naming my new chicks after my Great g-mas. They are so cute! I lost one egg that got tossled around. I think the chick was already dead because the yolk hadn't been absorbed. We'll see if anymore hatch!

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    My new baby seems to be doing good. Except Mabel (Momma) keeps pecking her at times. I'm not sure if she's scolding her to get under her or what? She talks to the new baby a lot, too. I was going to throw away the rest of the eggs this morning and decided to move Mabel & baby down to the...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Thanks Johnn, I was thinking I would wait until mid-day when it is warmer. I'm in the Sierra Nevada foothills in California and it's cooler this morning. I figure it needs to be warmer just in case one has hatched or is pipping. I don't hear any peeping at all, is that normal?
