Hey, I've recently been looking into pigeons.
The thing is, I have tons of hawks all around my house. They are quite literally nesting in a tree over my yard. The crows keep them SOMEWHAT under control from just taking over, but I don't know how safe it'd be to let my birds free fly. I heard...
Simple math of an obsessive hatcher
Those words+moving egg= huge smile&tears of joy. Haha
It would be such an amazing experience and accomplishment (to put on my resume, lol just kidding). I'd finally earn many poultry breeders' respect and maybe they'd start to believe in my abilities, haha...
Omg. I seriously may start crying tears of joy right now.
The (very likely the only possible hatcher) emu egg has been worrying me, because it hasn't moved in a couple weeks.... WELL EGG C JUST MOVED AND I SWEAR I COULD HAVE A FREAKING PARTY RIGHT NOW!! :D :D :D:weee

I can't lower the humidity in the room, as I have some other animals in there that can't withstand low humidity. I also have a big bowl of air dryer in there, I'm honestly not sure if it can get any more dry without messing with Egg C.

After hatching with a broody, buying chicks, and hatching in house- I can say that the in-house-hatches tend to be the sweetest. I guess being there since minute 1 really effects their behavior towards people? Don't get me wrong though, I do...
I'm a first time emu hatcher and I'm having difficulty with my eggies loosing weight.
It's now day 29 with 3 emu eggs I got from a local farm. They were 1-2 weeks old when we got them, so they weren't very fresh.
Egg A and Egg B haven't been loosing nearly as much as they should be. They've...
Darn! I don't get much snow in NC... so far we've only got a couple inches once, and I was sick at the time. Hopefully we'll get some more this year.
Meanwhile, I'll just stare at these cute snow chickies in envy...
