    OMG. I think I've done something bad.

    I believe she is trustworthy. My eggs were 2 days late and she said she knows how hot Texas gets so she is sending me replacement eggs on Monday. Plus adding some extra eggs from her more expensive breed. She has gone above and beyond. When clearly she could have said not my problem blame...

    New Turkey mom

    I'm a new turkey owner and I also bought French guinea keeps at the same time. I was told that they have to stay on a game starter which has a protein at 28%. I want a mixed flock eventually with my chickens, ducks and possibly a couple of geese. Is this even possible?

    Lets talk about goats!

    Ok goat keepers maybe you can advise me. We are getting two pygmy goats on Thursday both 6 months a doe and a buck. They share the same grandmother so I don't know if I can breed them. If I can't is it too late to band the buck? I went to Tractor Supply and got the goat pellets and the sweet...

    Breeding and Raising and Hatching of Barnyard Chickens!!!!!!!!!!

    I started my barnyard mix flock back in December of last year. I have Red sex link and a roo that looks to be a mix himself. I have a newly hatched chick that has been apparently born with her eyes sealed shut or maybe even no eyes at all. I can say she is a fighter though she broke out of that...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Sorry to hear your feeling so bad skink. Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. Pippi is doing great. Just loves to be held, I ended up having to put regular size newborn chicks in with her. She's so bossy with them. I'm dealing with a dilemma with one of my newest babies. This...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    First baby pic. Had to give her a little wash. Shell was blocking her vent and she couldn't go potty. As soon as I got the shell and membrane unstuck and wrapped in a towel she pooped. Meet Pippi.

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Well the chick that I have named Pippi is doing well she's got a little shell left covering her bottom. Can I dip her in so warm water and get it unstuck? She also has some dried membrane on her back too. She is so tiny and sweet and crawling all over the incubator.

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Well the chick has hatched......but she has the round part of the shell stuck to her butt. I increased the humidity and put her in a wet paper towel. She's so active she's all over the incubator though dragging that shell along with her. Any ideas?

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    My little egg is still in the hatching phase. I will say that for an egg this small this baby has a huge beak. And loads of personality already. I go and check on her a lot give her mini pep talks and words of encouragement. When she hears my voice she gets real still then starts peeping so I...

    That's a good thing to remember. Well I left the eggs alone, I didn't do anything rash like throw them all away. So we will see tomorrow.

    They might be then. Maybe I'm just worrying to much. It wasn't for more than two hours. I caught it fairly quick. I guess time will tell...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Well I am completely heartbroken. Somehow the thermostat fluctuated to 107 degrees and I believe I cooked my remaining serama egg and the 13 barnyard mixed eggs that I used as fillers. I candled the serama egg and I saw no movement. I am devastated.
