    what kind of snake is this?

    I'd say with certainly that it's the one you've pictured above. I will be relocating the little darling. She really does eat too many eggs.

    what kind of snake is this?

    I can't quite believe that my husband's first reaction was to run for the camera. He thanjs you for the compliment. Why can't I find a pic or description of a clock snake? It has been out there coexisting with the hens for days and hasn't bothered them at all. But it does like eggs.

    Could I really be this lucky?

    I took another look this afternoon and besides the two I'm pretty sure are roos, only one other is showing wattles and they are smaller and lighter in color. So, I will call that one a maybe. 9 of 12 seems awesome to me. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk

    Could I really be this lucky?

    12 chicks hatched in November, 4 black, 5 blue, and 3 lavender orpingtons. 10 weeks old. 1 black and 1 lav are definitely roos. The rest? Sure look like pullets to me. The two roos are starting to get longish hairlike tailfeathers and red combs that are larger than the rest. They have not...

    We moved ours out the day before Christmas. The day they turned 4 weeks old. We built a pen and put the brooder inside it with an open door. The brooder still has a lamp on thermastat in it set at 75 degrees. They seem just fine. They love going in and out and they run in and warm up when...

    Can I ship birds that are 2 weeks old? If so how? Please help

    My express mailed chicks I received last Thursday were 24 hours late. Found out that the USPS doesn't guarantee 24 hour shipment on live birds, even if the tag SAYS guaranteed. They can take up to three days before paying a claim. This is a VERY bad idea.

    Heat pack or no heat pack? Shipping eggs today 12/7

    I wouldn't put a heat pack in, if the eggs get too warm they will start prematurely developing. I would use lots of insulation - Put them carefully packed into one box, then put into a larger box with lots and lots of crumpled newspaper.

    Brokenhearted

    Update: the remaining 8 have perked up and are eating, drinking, pooping, running around, and sleeping. I had to deal with one pasty butt, the rest seem perfectly okay. They are very skittish. I had ordered 6 blue orps and 4 lavender orps. Sadly, 3 of the 4 lavs were doa. My seller sent me...

    Brokenhearted

    Express Mail screwed up and delivered 24 hours late. 5 were dead. The rest might be all right, although they look pretty weak. I guess I have to find out about filing the insurance claim.

    question, first time hatching

    Quote: No worries about being a PIA. If you were totally blase about a first hatch, THAT would be worrying.

    question, first time hatching

    Mine never moved until they started hatching. Chin up and sit on your hands. Don't give up. I was convinced mine were all dead.

    Just got the email - your package has shipped

    10 little tiny Orps will land at my house tomorrow. Do you think it's all right if I put them in with the 4 I hatched on Thanksgiving?

    big day number 21

    Try not to worry. On my big Day 21, the first to hatch pipped around 2 p.m. and hatched out 3 and 1/2 hours later. The next hatched around 10 p.m., then midnight, then the last around 4 a.m. It is an exercise in patience.
