    I was hoping to never say this...

    OMG! That poor thing! The only suggestion I have is to maybe add some sugar or electrolyte mix like Gatorade to her water so even if she is only drinking she can at least get some nutrients from her water. That might buy you some extra time until you, and she, can figure out how to get some...

    Pilgrim goosling!

    I fed my ducks and geese together and they've done very well on an organic chick starter. It was the only thing that the local feed store had that wasn't medicated. Ducks should not be fed medicated feed, so the goslings didn't get it either. My goslings loved grass clippings and all things...

    Maybe I should stick to chicks and pet rocks.....

    Well, I'm glad it's not totally me. I did contact McMurray and they are sending a replacement batch next week. Hopefully the nice weather here will hold out and the poor little things will have a better trip. Hey Murano Farms, you are very close to where I grew up in Parker, PA. Nice to see...

    Maybe I should stick to chicks and pet rocks.....

    I received my 30 mixed guineas from McMurray hatchery last Thursday. When my kids and I opened the box we couldn't believe how tiny and cute they were! As we unpacked the keets into the brooder we were saddened to find at the bottom 3 flattened, stiff ones and 1 limp, dying one. We watered...

    Snake consumption

    Two days ago my gardeners found two rattlesnakes, a small one early in the morning, and then a large one late in the afternoon. One of the guys brought me the first one headless, but still squirming, in a big Dixie cup. He asked what he should do with it, and after I squealed and jumped onto...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Today I got 15/15. Usually it is more like 12 or 13. One day I had 20 eggs! How is that possible? I also had one day of zero eggs! I don't know what happened there, but it was very odd. Anyone else ever have such a thing happen?

    Embarassing rooster question...

    Hmmm, cock? Isn't that kind of like calling your feet snakes, or fish, or some other footless organism......

    yellow runny yolks after 24 days in the bator

    I had the exact thing happen to my eggs on my first attempt at hatching. I had 24 eggs (12 blue Orppingtons, 6 Wellsummers, 6 blue Auracaunas) set and waited until the 25th day to open them. I used a Top Hatch incubator and a hygromter. I thought I did everything right. It was suggested by...

    Anybody use Gabbard Farms? Orp or Ameraucana pics?

    I never considered the possibility of the post office killing the eggs with x-rays, but it seems to be something that many people who have hatched mail order eggs have experienced. I just bought some Marans eggs from a local lady and she suggested the same thing. Thanks for all the feedback...

    Anybody use Gabbard Farms? Orp or Ameraucana pics?

    I don't know if the problem was with my technique or the eggs, but all 24 of the eggs that I ordered from Gabbard Farms failed to hatch. I think I did everything right, and I even waited until day 25 before I finally broke them open to see if anything had developed. Every one of the eggs was...
