We are picking up another little girl Sunday. We had planned to get 2 at auction but it didn't go as planned. So we hit the internet and found this little beauty, just not sure what her name will be yet.
We do have a hay rack, salt block and have been giving her about a 1/4 cup of grain to start since I have no clue what she was eating before. She is not a fan of our good hay, but happily chows down on bedding straw so I mixed the two up for her. My daughter discovered she really likes gram...
Wednesday we got our first goat at auction. Of course she came with no background information or anything. I have read a ton but I'm not experienced by any means. She has been sweet but a bit shy. Today my 3 year old gave her a soppy and that got me wondering about her age. Should I be giving...
We moved the first three healthy dry chicks into the brooder. There is 1 more drying off and two just starting to pip so hopefully there will more tomorrow.
Yes, I put her in a small cup to keep her from dragging the shell and pulling on the bulge. It's not a long stringy intestinal look but it pulsates when she chirps and you can see the vessels. There is also a yellow goop. Maybe a ruptured yolk?
My brown egg has not progressed at all . Our first little one is still doing ok, half her shell fell off but there is still a lot of cord hanging with a little piece of shell. We have two more blue eggs that have pipped but they are taking their time too lol. My hose splashed a little water...
When I put her in the cup she sat perfect inside the halved shell. She has since tried to get out of her plastic prison. Should I try I bigger cup? The vessels attached to the shell are also getting tangled around her leg. She really wants to be active and run around. Also since she is probably...
Is it normal for the shell to be stuck to the chick? It is stuck to her bottom and she is dragging it around smacking all the other eggs. She is very vocal although uncoordinated.
** she might be a he, I honestly have no clue but I'm hoping for hens.
Is to normal that it hasn't progressed? We can hear chirping from inside the eggs, even over the fan noise. I can't be sure exactly which ones are making noise though so I'm not sure if it's the same egg or not.
Today is the start of our lockdown so we took out the turner and candles our eggs, not that there was much to see but there were a couple that had stopped developing so they were removed. Anyhow, as I was candling I felt a rough patch on one of my eggs. Upon further inspection we noticed a tiny...
I have always had dogs, I'm not sure I could live without them. Right now we have three, Daisy Mae is a BMC, Dartanion James is Mountain Cur/Aussie, and together they gave us Remington Anthony!
