    Ya'll are sure chatty! I wait a couple days, and have to read 12 pages to catch up! Went to check on my silkie who has been setting at least 3 weeks, and no luck there. Candled the eggs, one was black, no air sac. Tossed it, and it made a loud POP Glad I didn't try to see what was in...

    I have separate shoes for chicken chores. When I had that virus last year, I started with 2 pair of slip on shoes and continued that until everything in that pen was gone. One pair for my side pens, which never showed any sign of illness, then I'd switch to feed and water the big pen. Big...

    Love them! I had to do some rearranging here today to clear a pen for my newest acquisitions. We got one pen empty since I'm not hatching more blue/black Ameraucanas this summer. That pen was moved to the shade and the new birds are now settling in. Now I'm looking for a wheaten Ameraucana...

    I had bought a silkie & a showgirl from Cliff. Looks like daddy is my partridge silkie, not so affectionately called Bad *****. I need to double check neck color to be sure it's black. That hit me today. I saw black feet, 5 toes & a poof. At the doctors with hubby now as they...

    Ok. So 7 have hatched from the smashed eggs. But the divider in my hatching tray isn't helping keep them separate. Evidently these chicks are determined to thrive!
