Hey! A dark two-toned one hatched out last night about 11pm and a light one at 5:30am during breakfast. Lost some sleep as I was riveted by that little wet chick. Egads, didn't know they chirp so loud, and stagger all over the place! The totally respond to our voices. So wonderful.
There's...
SQUEEE!!!! Sheree! Kathie! One of the eggs are pipping, and one is shaking! OMG! My first babies everybody! Yay me! Yay HenPen and chickenlady81 (and another wonderful gal whose name I don't know)for helping me!
I had tried candling them, and just couldn't tell, so just removed...

Well HenPen said can incubate them, but we were thinking if I could borrow/rent/whateva one, it would be fun.
Kellen I have one that you could borrow, it might be just as well so I dont end up hatching more of my own...Dont really need them right now! I could give you some eggs too if...

Hi All, Kellen here... I've been on hiatus from the board after a fox incident which took out 15 of my youngsters out in the pen. (during the day!) I had 6 left. So I sulked for a while, and wasn't sure if I'd even keep chickens anymore. I loved them so. Sheree helped me out with a more...
:(Hi~ I noticed my silky chick was chirping in a needy way last evening and it's crop wasn't full. This morning dead.
Now I notice a Japanese bantam chick's crop is also not full, and looks weak... any ideas? I don't see any signs of blood in stools... I do have some 'corid' I think it's...

Ya, G'mornin. Casting my vote for some sun too. I have mostly been loving the rain and cloudy days, but my tomatoes need a little photosynthesis. Plus I'm tired of the hem of my dresses being wet all the time...

That's pretty sweet. My silkies did that with the orpington chicks.
Sooooo, is there a magical function that a button quail performs? (in other words, what could I use as a reason to have them???) Never saw a bebbe before, and the adults are about the next cutest thing ever... i like...

Glad your babies are doing well !! You can get DE at almost any feed store, they dont have it at your local one?? Are you using it to dust birds or to keep the smell in the coop down??
