Well it looks like I'm out this year. My eggs arent coming in the mail this week, which is just fine, I can wait, I hatch nearly every week. I think I might take a break until the polish kick it back into gear.

I have no idea what I am setting. No one is laying, the birds that are laying, well their eggs are being shipped off. I should be getting some Blue/Black Am eggs in the mail this week, But I'm not sure. My darn chickens need to step up they're game, it's just sad.

Good Morning Everyone. Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful there is no snow on the ground here. Cloudy and 61* for the high today. I can deal with that.

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. We have been lucky enough to be invited to a friends to spend the holiday with them. They've become like family since we've lived here. I'm in charge of desert. Yay!!! Let the baking begin!

Quote: I almost WISH the husband would put his foot down! I can't even imagine what that would actually be like. Oh wait......he said no to emus. But after I saw one poop, I didnt want one anymore either. Currently waiting for the PO to call and say my birds are here Here's the grow out pen...

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I will be spending mine putting up a few more runs and finishing up a coop and grow out coop/pen that will be warmer for the older little guys ready to go outside in the winter. And hoping the chickens start laying lots of eggs

So the other day DH says he ordered me something on the internet. The box arrived today.Oddly enough it is actually JUST what I needed and something I was looking for but never mentioned to him. LOL It's a shoe scraper/cleaner to put outside the door! No more chicken poop on EVERY pair of...

Quote: Call your post office. If you have a tracking number they can usually see where they are being sorted through. When I have had live birds shipped they have always been able to track them and have them held at the sorting facility for me to pick up (an hour and a half away) rather than...

I am addicted enough to hatching that I just today completed a hatch and go into lockdown again in the morning. Someone help me! More due to lockdown on Thanksgiving. Clearly I will not be giving thanks for my sanity because it has gone out the window. During dinner I was silently drawing plans...

I'm actually on day 20 with 4 polish eggs from my own stock. My polish have been mocking me. They finally started to lay again after the super hot summer and then all of a sudden nothing! They better step it up before it's time to set for the new years hatch. Good news though my new ameraucana...

Super fun weekend at the show. My daughter showed for the first time and did really well with the birds she picked to bring. One of them she hand raised herself and she won Reserve Jr AOCCL! We also won Best Light Duck and Reserve Light Duck! It was a double show, so all of the birds were...

Good morning everyone! I'm off to a show this morning after playing a rousing game of "How many chickens and ducks can you fit in your mini van". Topped that off with watching a bunny commit suicide via my back tire But we're packed up and on the road. Happy Saturday!

Quote: Okay, I know this is totally off-topic, but your photo reminded me of an incident many years ago. My son was bathing his chickens for fair and setting them up into drying cages. His best roo escaped and took off running. There was no way to catch him, so he was going to have to just...

Quote: I incubate in the same bator. But hatch in different ones to give the duck eggs a higher humidity.

This morning I tested out a new whitening shampoo for the show birds. I used it on my extra roo, just in case things went amiss. Apparently getting a bath in the sink first thing in the moring can be very relaxing............................. Being blown dry in the living room however, not so...
