A little late posting! We set 10 standard backyard mix eggs in our brinsea mini. A beautiful mix of greens, olives, and dark brown eggs from another local.
We lost our boy, Hank, and two of our old ladies this winter. Our girls are lost without their hubs and I think 2 of our 4 remaining hens...
They are always my very best chickens. They are usually friendly, super healthy and live forever! My oldest hen right now is from our random flock and she's 6.5 years old.
All through hatching! Started with 7 eggs, 5 made it to lockdown but only 4 hatched. So now I've got 4 unique little barnyard mix cuties from 3 different colored eggs (2 dark brown, one pale blue, one light olive). I caught two of them hatching, but I don't know which color egg each of the two...
I only have a brinsea mini so I'll set 7 backyard surprise eggs at noon. I have a few spares in case any don't develop but they'll hatch late if I have to swap them in.

Welcome!
We do actually make service vests =) I suggest checking the laws in your area first before picking your vest patches. Most of the time there's a designation other than "service animal" that is most appropriate like "therapy animal" or "emotional support" and will keep you in line with...
@Amykins I'm with Tevyes dad on all but one point - I know it's hard, but I would suggest not snuggling them if they don't like it or are running away from you. We have that problem with ChaCha, she does not like to be "grabbed" or "held" so we do it as rarely as possible. I learned to make...

In the house bathtuc ChaCha gets coldish water. Colder than I would like for sure, but not freezing. I really couldn't guess at actual temperature though. I turn the cold tap on all the way, and then the hot tap on just a tad so the water isn't FREEZING in the winter, and no hot tap in...
That would probably be a great idea! But are there vets that would subscribe and chime in when people post w/questions? I guess someone would have to be in charge of moderating, and that would be the difficult part. Making sure the vet was legit, and keeping the "know it alls" off. Of course...
Thank heavens not to have had an emergency! I'm hoping we won't have anything soon. But I'll be happy to have baselines established should anything ever happen in the future. And have someone to ask when I have questions!
