We are hoping to get rain tonight! They are predicting a whopping .17" . Yes, POINT one seven ! Southern CA.....The eastern people think we are crazy as their winter goes on and on....
My total for the HAL is 14
The last Guinea just came out this morning! The others hatched Saturday.
Out of 49 eggs, 14 hatched.
0 out of 18 shipped bantam Ameraucanas
2 out of 7 Runner ducks
7 out of 15 Seramas
5 out of 9 Guineas
Shouldn't there be a prize for whoever hatches an albino chick?
I have had many albino birds. None of which were blind. Of course, if their sight was a bit limited, it would be hard to tell maybe. I raised two albino blue jays that were thrown out of the nest by their parents. They lived to...
My HAL Seramas are done, but waiting on the Guineas and one more duck who are due tomorrow.
Out of 15 Seramas, 7 hatched. two needed assistance because they pipped about half an inch below the air cell and stopped. They look pretty good though. I cleared their beaks so they could breathe, put...
Since you'll be up all night watching for that egg to pip, I'll pm you some pics a little later. It's early for me, but have to go take care of horses first. And right now, I think I'll put some eggs on the Auction thread cause I'm getting over run!
Awww... I like to raid Walmart and Target right after Easter for the little stuffed animals that are on sale. (For my birds:). So, I think I got the giraffe at one of those two stores. Possibly Kmart. If I see another I'll let you know!
The pen #4 chicks are mostly dark colors so far. I hope they hatch!!!! The shipped eggs I bought were a total bust. So...what did I do? I ordered more!
I keep sending warm fuzzy Serama thoughts your way! These three are from pen #3. Same as yours I think? Seramas are not the easiest, especially shipped, but if you want to try more later, I'll send you more!
I have three HAL Serama chicks! I went ahead and put them in the brooder because I don't expect anymore to hatch until tomorrow and Saturday. My HAL eggs won't be done until Saturday or Sunday. Still waiting on some more Seramas, Guineas and ducks. 2 ducks are pipped and two more Seramas are...
My son found this video on scrambling and cooking eggs inside the shell....not that we don't do that enough with shipped eggs....but, these are to eat
This guy has other interesting egg videos as well. CrazyRussianHacker has some good egg videos as well.
I have been with you guys all along, just not able to post much! Weather has been great and I am out painting with my horse :) As in she paints, I mix colors....
So...I started the HAL with 49 eggs and am now down to 24....
Out of the 18 shipped bantam Ameraucanas, I have 4 still alive.
9 out...
Total eggs that we set = 49
I was waiting to see if we would set any quail eggs, but that's not happening.
In the incubator are;
9 Guineas
15 Seramas
18 shipped bantam Ameraucanas
and 7 Runner ducks under silkie broodies!
The kids got mad at one of our free range peacocks because he flew into a chicken pen and was chasing a rooster...
and the next time I looked outside, he had a dunce hat on! He still had it on this morning and I had to trap him to catch him to take it off!
