    S.O.S. MY FRIEND GAVE ME EGGS TO EAT AND ONE IS PEEPING

    😂 She's an old lady and did say she was behind on collection but I think she lost 2 weeks or smthn. I'd planned to candle them anyway, but the peeping sealed it. The entire batch included 8 fully developed chicks, 16 rotten timebombs and 15 fresh delicious not-fetal eggs. Some kinda haul, tell u...

    She said the coop was past due for collection but I don't think she realized it had been 3 weeks 🫠😭

    Hands on hatching and help

    This! I've had to explain the philosophy with broken electronics- "I can't make it not work MORE but there's a chance I can fix it. If it's still broken, nothing changed. If I fix it, awesome!"

    S.O.S. MY FRIEND GAVE ME EGGS TO EAT AND ONE IS PEEPING

    I've been holding off on birds until my run is finished but. Here we are. What do I do with the egg, what do I do when it starts to hatch, how do I keep it alive for all of 2 seconds after. Expediency appreciated 😱🫠

    Upgrading run, open discussion on (majority upcycled) materials and improvements

    My idea for a 'tarp' is coming to fruition and now I just need to finish fixing the tent frame so it doesn't collapse lmao

    Upgrading run, open discussion on (majority upcycled) materials and improvements

    Whenever you encounter a Bucket O' Bits at a yard sale or whatever ALWAYS buy it. A cornucopia of weird hardware pieces for those who don't mind their construction a little ADHD. The loop is a very long nail I hammered back around.

    Upgrading run, open discussion on (majority upcycled) materials and improvements

    Tomorrow I fully remove the chicken wire and hopefully figure out how to fix this hole without it looking like something out of Fallout. Found an old gate they just left near the road after replacing it, found a roll of wire in the Stuff, working on securing that so I can make it part of the...

    Upgrading run, open discussion on (majority upcycled) materials and improvements

    I'm in Southeast Arizona so sun is DEFINITELY my biggest concern. Sun rot and wind are the leading causes of destruction around here and overheating is just as big a concern as predators. I need more shade as well as hawk deterrents 😭 Thank you for the link!

    Guess the day! Silkie egg

    I've been working on a functional incubator a little over a month and it's finally at least not cooking the eggs 🙃 This is one I almost threw away from the second to last batch (all the others were Definitely dead) so it's older than the rest but I have no idea by how much. I'm just keeping a...

    Upgrading run, open discussion on (majority upcycled) materials and improvements

    You assume correctly and no, not yet. I'm debating what to use and figuring out how to make it taller than the original fence

    Upgrading run, open discussion on (majority upcycled) materials and improvements

    I've got the bones of a good run for Silkies (which is what I've got about ready to hatch) but I have almost every predator you could name and a skunk wiped out my ducks last year. I'm using the boards to make some shade in the late afternoon, planning a cover for the tent skeleton using old...

    Chickens 🐔

    Hello, I live in the desert and I'm incubating eggs gifted to me by a lady I clean house for. I had birds of all sorts growing up but my parents had trouble caring for them after the kids moved out. I'm starting another flock and have 7 that are very close to hatching in my homemade incubator...
