Hi Everyone! I have been off the board for quite a while. Having a 2 and 6 year old plus a farm keeps me busy! Lol. Anyway it's getting time to start looking for some babies for my daughter to raise to show for her first year of 4h. We have turkeys she is going to show and some geese. I...
I have hatched lots of chicks and ducks but not geese. This little guy is almost out but I can see this red bubble thing in the bottom of its shell. I'm guessing it's filled with blood since its bright red. I don't know what to. It must have something really bad wrong with it.
Thanks! Yeah we had the babies in a pen outside for a while b4 turning them free and the Tom could see them and get up to the pen but he killed them anyway. I hate getting rid of him as I raised him and feel attached to him but we would like to raise babies too. Not sure what to do.
I raised my Tom and hen from chicks and they are over one year old now. The Tom was starting to go after the kids but now he stopped and just goes after my husband. Here is the part I'm really upset about. I hatched some of their eggs in my incubator. They got pretty big but not full grown...
Yes! I did get some of them hatched and some I think I screwed up with my incubator. Not sure what I did, humidity issues or what but I'm learning. Anyway I got a leghorn rooster which I REAlLYwanted! I'm not sure if he's pure leghorn or not but he's all white and beautiful! I think the...
I am looking for some goose eggs or peacock eggs. I don't really care about what breed they are because they are just going to b pets on the farm. Will pay for them of course but just don't need the higher priced show quality. I live in Kansas and would also b interested in adult birds too if...
Hi everyone! It's been several months since I have been on here. I have a 5 year old and a toddler and it was getting too hard to keep up. Anyway Im back now. We still have all our birds including the ones we hatched. We also just got 12 new babies last night. I have about a half a dozen...
I need advice! I am hatching babies and have all but 5 that left to go. I hatched some on day 22 and some on day 23. Today is day 24. They were moving and tapping yesterday and now they stopped. They probably died didn't they? I hate that.
I had some hatch on day 22 and then a few yesterday which was day 23. I have like 5 that haven't even pipped. Yesterday they were shaking the eggs and tapping but I have not heard or seen much of anything today or tonight. Are they probably dead then? Should I open them? Disappointed...
Yeah waiting is so nerve racking! I'm not good at it but I am on lockdown so I just peek through the window a lot! Lol.
Chicken danz, I missed the post about your surgery! Will pray it goes smooth and a speedy recovery!!!
Sorry about your loss! We lost a bunch of chickens early this fall from a dog. It was awful.
I do have exciting news! It's day 21 and I have eggs wiggling! These r my eggs from ivywoods! Can't wait to see them! The araucanas are shaking their eggs. The big leg horn eggs are still. I h...
Still can't walk. It's not slippery. The poor thing lays there and kicks. I set it up but it just falls over. I've been giving it sugar water. It looks so healthy but I guess it's not.
