    I've heard of the giant sized worms, but I also heard you almost never see them because they live pretty deep underground. That's so cool that you saw some! Personally, I am with CarolynF and get completely creeped out by big squiggly things.... Sadly, I have to agree. I feel your pain...

    Well, happy Mother's Day to Blueberry. LOL, turkeys or bantams - which would you choose? Happy Mother's Day! Can you imagine pioneer women trying to do all that? We probably work just as hard, just different.

    That is good news! At least one of the babies is getting bigger than the others at a good clip. Those silvers are really pretty - I didn't know they came in that color. My two adult girls are chocolate and white and black and white. One of the babies is looking to be chocolate, and I can't...

    That last picture is priceless! You should submit it to some sort of photography contest, lol. Schipperkes are well known to be really smart and determined. Crafty little cuties. My cats don't even bother to take a second glance at the random critters that have been in my home - rabbits...

    Hi DD, The Pilgrims I have are generally very quiet, and calm. They are a little skittish around people, and not aggressive. They dominated the ducks/ducklings when they were together, but not aggressively, allowing the ducks to eat first generally, and not harrassing them much. I separated...

    Good evening peeps! Aren't we lucky to have this weather?! My mood disorder doesn't stand a chance against the warm and sunny days. Another helpful thing is that one of my shipped egg Swedish flower Hen chicks hatched out - boy? Girl? Gah, probably a boy with my luck, but still. Pretty...

    Phew, internet back up, and work finished for the day. Simple amazing to watch them trade off sitting. They both do the cute "sit and wiggle" thing too. I bald eagles. I love their voices. If you live in or visit an area that is thick with them, you get to hear some cool sounds. Not the...

    This quote didn't make it into the original mix - I guess BYC wanted it to stand out, lol. That is really cool. I love the influence the college has had on this town - Olympia would not be nearly as eclectic, innovative music-wise, or even interesting, if it wasn't here.

    countryboy16 has Swedish Flower Hens, and he has chicks now! He is my farming hero - check out his thread on rebuilding his poultry farm - it's fascinating and would be heartbreaking if not for his amazing attitude. She's pretty! What a hoot she is with that "I"m an impending mother!"...

    I'm on my laptop using Firefox and there is rarely adds. It's blank up top, and grayed out at the bottom. Don't know why... Gosh, I'm the edit queen. I want to shout to the world that I am finally hatching out chicks! I have some mixed breeds fathered by a beautiful bantam BBR Phoenix and...

    Hang on to your hats, this is a lot of multi-quoting! Look over at the Buy-Sell-Trade section. I know there are good people who have them on BYC, although not locally (yet). I have some shipped eggs in the incubator, but I don't have high hopes. Aren't frizzles cute? And friendly! I...

    Congratulations! I have 2 baby turkeys in the brooder, so happy to finally have some hatch out after all the incubator traumas. 2 more are expected in about 2 days, and then (hopefully) they should just keep on coming! Going to try totalcolour's incubator too, with some other eggs (d'Uccles...

    Not at all! I was just pulled up short when I realized what I'd typed, lol. It did come across as not knowing that. BUT! My question still hangs in the air, do hens lay infertile eggs if they are bred by a fertile rooster? I'm so curious now! I will, but given the girls are not yet at POL...

    What a cute smile - he does look a little concerned, doesn't he? Firewifejess, I tried to multiquote but it didn't take. Yes, you are correct - I was trying to ask if a hen could lay an infertile egg if the cock (who is known to be loaded and ready) was breeding her. Hee, I'm smarter than a...

    Ouch. Computer woes are a bummer. Has your husband tried restoring it to a point where it worked well? I hope it's resolved easily for you. I have found that the exterior temperature has a lot of impact on that type of incubator. Is yours in a temp-stable place? That helped me a lot...

    Good morning! Did you happen to crack open the egg that didn't do anything to see if it is fertile? I know the cock is doing his job, but I don't know if hens can be infertile and still lay. I need to make sure I'm only sending out eggs that are fertile! Oh, and what number was written on...

    You are doing the right thing for a peaceful flock. There is a lot of good information here on BYC about pecking order problems, and removing the bully always is mentioned. Links and/or pictures of parent flock? You've just given me a vague idea for my new pens I'm designing...something like...

    Congratulations! Kale, huh? Got it! Will the hubby do it with you the first time? Might be good to have some moral support? Here I was, thinking I'm the only person IN THE WORLD who can't grow zucchini.... My Standard Of Perfection book comes today!!! Woot!!! Now I can feel more like a...
