The swap was great. Lots of chickens, some guineas, some ducks, some goslings, and much more. I went! Bought a Gosling, a Duckling, and 2 chicks. Although 3 more were forced upon me! xD
Man! I haven't been on this site in a while. Been bummed by the darn dogs killing some of my chickens. Buy I am back. Going to get ready for next year for shows. I have Modern Game Bantams, Japanese Bantams, LF Dark Brahmas, Bantam Cochins, and Royal Palm Turkeys I am going to show. :D
Woot! Guess who got hatching eggs! I got several different types or chickens and ducks. I have about 8 dozen eggs. Here is what I could have:
Chickens Large Fowl and Bantams:
Buff Orpingtons
Cochins
Americaunas
Mixed Breeds
Ducks:
Welsh Harlequins
Mallards
Runners
Cresteds
Incubator is...
I know. I don't know what I did wrong. I really don't want to try D'Uccles again. I have lost about 7 very different D'Uccles. I miss my little Milly and Little Blue. :(
What the heck!? I have tried keeping D'Uccles like 3 or 4 times. Up in a pen off the ground, in a ground pen, etc. I CAN NOT keep a D'Uccle alive for more than a few months. My D'Uccle/Silkie mix is doing great and is even sitting on eggs!
Okay. My hatching eggs are way over due. I don't think they are going to hatch. Hatch Day was last Sunday, Feb. 3rd. I have given them extra time, way over extra time. Should I just give up on them? Thinking of cracking one open and see. Any thoughts?
NEVERMIND! They aren't going to hatch...
I know. But I don't mind. They were only $2 each at least. I still like them. I didn't think they looked like bobwhites anyway. Should have went with my instincts.
Here are some Naked Necks I got from draye. Back in October I think. I absolutely adore them. If I have a pair, I am hoping to get some more. Also thinking of adding some frizzles with them, to get Frizzle naked necks.
No I didn't get the eggs from the seminar. I wasn't able to go. I have the Little Giant Styrofoam Still Air Incubator.
I hope so. Reason for not getting to expensive eggs.
Since January 13th. But the hatch date isn't until tomorrow. But I am not giving up on hatching. Hoping to buy some more hatching eggs at swaps, and from other people. I am hoping to get to turkeys, ducks, and geese. And the possible pheasants, quails, and peacocks.
But I am going to watch the...
I am thinking my eggs aren't going to hatch. I am kind of devastated. But this is my first time hatching eggs on my own. And the power outage didn't help either. I can say I DISLIKE THE EGG TURNER! It kept the eggs to hot, even with the incubator all the way down. I rather just turn the eggs...
The naked neck I got from draye has a pea comb, if has a barred pattern on the feathers on top of her head. Plus a dark/light grey body with a few red markings. My favorite Naked Neck. The black one has a straight comb. I love my naked necks. Hoping to get some more.
