    Odd duck embryo development? Pics

    Candled my Welsh Harlequin eggs on day nine and noticed three of the eggs had some odd development. They've got these clear pocket/culdesac type things where normally there is development. Otherwise, they're normal -- nice squirmy big-eyed babies! All the other eggs are fine, except for one...

    Cornish Pullet with Loss of Muscle Control?

    I will preface this by saying that the chicken is now dead and has been for about three hours. Anyway, she was a Dark Cornish SQ and had just finished feathering out~ hadn't quite got her adult voice figured out yet. She was a bit skinny when I got her, but didn't think much of it, because...

    I'm going to Mongolia tomorrow!!!

    I was one of the 30 kids selected to go to Mongolia through a 4-H exchange program, and I leave tomorrow!!! We were selected out of a group of 156 throughout the Western United States, and every cent is being paid for by an EXCEEDINGLY generous (and, as far as I know, anonymous) donation. We...

    Controlling temp fluctuations?

    This is my first hatching in my new incubator (it's a styrofoam hovabator) and I'm having a terrible time with fluctuations. I'll wake up to 98.5 and come home to 102.5- with little to no adjustment on my part. I have one plug in. I think that the room temperature is partially to blame (my room...

    So I came in from outside awhile ago and sat down at the computer, and then I actually looked at myself in the mirror. My hair decided to be curly and is now flying every which direction and it has leaves and twigs in it, my fingernails are filthy, my arms have an unknown chicken-related...

    Useless information for the day!

    'Stewardesses' is the longest word typed with only the left hand. And 'lollipop' is the longest word typed with your right hand. (Bet you tried this out mentally, didn't you?) No word in the English language rhymes with month , orange, silver, or...

    Why does she make it so difficult?!

    Okay, so my grandmother is not exactly the easiest person to deal with. That is what I like to call an understatement. I still love her, it's just...hard. So anyway, this time her issue is that I don't send thank you cards. Here's the situation: she lives 20 minutes away from me. she's at every...

    Arrgh! Opinion on polls

    I like the polls in the other sections, but in Random Ramblings, they need their own section, because I get too distracted. I go to random ramblings because I want to read, and occasionally give a well thought out opinion that doesn' t necessarily fit into what the creator specified. Also, I...

    Potato fruit?

    It's true! Potatoes can form fruit, and it has happened right here at my house! It looks like a tomato vine growing off of a potato plant. It happened on our volunteer potatoes, and it was completely possible that they hybridized, except when I googled it, it turns out that it occasionally...

    If you could....the name game!

    If you could change your name, or your child's name or your dog's name-whatever, to anything you wanted, what would you choose? Why? You don't have to include your real name, only if you want. I wouldn't change my name, I would go by my middle name. My first name has been THE most popular...
