With the heat index today over 105 I wanted to do something to keep all the panting down. So I filled up this extra large cat litter tray that I use for my ducks (they are afraid of the kiddie pool), I filled it up with nice fresh water. Then I filled it with frozen peas, frozen blueberries...

This hatch is not going good, I have like 95% rate on my hatches, but now I have some fancy shmansy new thermometer/hygrometer and I'm blaming it! It is the only thing that is different. They weren't suppose to hatch till tonight, the first one hatched Friday, and 9 others friday...

So I go this a.m. to take my eggs out of the turner and put into lockdown, and one has pipped, and was peeping its little head off!!! So I didn't have it in position and what about the humidity, since I obviously had to open it. Think it will be okay, I spritz them down, and we are in Florida...

Ugh I did not enjoy being out in the coops today. The chicks were all well behaved, everything else fell apart though.... All the kids are home so its like all I do when I go out is stop, come here, stop arguing, don't touch, ucky...blah blah blah. I normally so enjoy quiet time with my...

So I posted in the emergencies section of the baby bird that I am raising. There were 3 blown out of the tree during the storm one was DOA, one had an open fracture and died the next day. But chubnut keeps on going and is doing wonderfully. I decided to do this since he changed so much in less...

So someone called me, they found a nest this morning after the storm that blew through last night. Their were 3 one died because her cat found it first. they are very young, I would say a couple days, as I could still see the yolk sac through their see threw skin. I'm trying to get a pic up...

So I haven't ordered my meaties yet, but I'm gonna. What is good deal for processing? I found a guy who will process in exchage for some of them for himself. He didn't say, what should I offer?

Apparently to get to the boys & girls club. Saw this little guy crossing the road yesterday, snapped a few pics. He was pretty tame, when I walked up to him he just laid down.

My house is more humid then my incubator. This is my first hatch using a hydrometer. I have done about 5 hatches or so without one and have about 95% hatch or better. But I noticed I can't get the humidity above 50% this is the first full day in there. Should I worry since I have always had...

I just got duclings saturday, and they don't really seem to be eating. I have them on a mix of chickstarter and game bird starter (20% protein). They may pick here and there but otherwise seem disintrested. They will eat fresh greens put in a little dish of water, but thats about it. Oh and...

I pulled out the bator, and can't find my thermometer/hydrometer, where can I get one in a hurry? I don't have time for snail mail.

So I was outside yesterday taking care of things. My 3 yo was within a hands reach. She went to walk backwards and tripped over it. When she saw what it was she went balistic. So i chased it down, and proceeded to try and grab it, but it was quite willey and kept trying to bite me....so...
