Love all the colors :) I got really into the coturnix because with all the new color genes that have been imported, there's a lot of genetics to play with. And since they can be laying within six weeks, the generational turn around time is fast. So they're my fun with genetics birds now, haha...

Evening Pond. Did some candling today, looks like 11 of the 12 goose eggs I set are developing, which is awesome. Tufted Romans are hard to find, and I had these shipped from another breeder to add some new blood to my flock. After doing some math, it looks like I have 148 eggs of various...

Afternoon Pond! 48 here today, very nice. I actually enjoyed doing the bird chores today, haha. Did not enjoy having to wash the puppy who ran through the mud afterwards though, lol. I've got five emu chicks so far this year! It was six but one already went to a new home with people who...

Evening Pond. Spent the afternoon getting all the birds set up for the cold snap we have coming through. Gonna be -15. So everybody got extra hay bedding to snuggle down into and all the Kos came into my workshop because they don't do the cold well. Perfect breed to have fallen in love with...

I haven't seen it again since I sent that message, which she never did bother to reply to. Oh well, if I don't see it again, I will count it as resolved. It's that stupid muscle spasm thing that happened - I still haven't fulled healed from it. But I do start physical therapy on the 31st so...

Still recovering from my stupid back injury over here. Physical therapy office finally called me back and left a message, but then when I called today, the person who answered didn't know what was going on and said he had to have the receptionist at a different office call me back - they haven't...

Hope everyone had a good Christmas! I did - had dinner with my family, got some nice gifts, got to briefly go to the Christmas Eve party my extended family has but left early because: I injured my back. Or, rather, my back for no reason decided to go into a spasm. It did this to me once before...

So I posted an ad for emu chicks online, just to get a ballpark idea of how many eggs I want to set this year. I also offered eggs for sale. Got an email this morning and we were going back and forth and he was asking price and whatnot, then came out with this gem: "And if I want a chick I...

I was out doing before winter cleanup today (pretty late, I am VERY lucky that we haven't already had freezing temps, used to be when I was kid it might be snowing on Halloween) and as I was bagging up loose feed bags that had gotten blown around the poultry area, a truck stopped in the road...

Doing okay. Fever seems to have broken, but I can't shake this darn congestion. I also can't tell if I've lost my sense of smell or not. It seems like it's coming and going, which could be because of the congestion, I supposed.

He's here :wee

Haha, yes. Kos are extremely hard feathered so that feather gap is totally normal for them.

Morning Pond. Just back in from feeding the birds. No fun when you're sick, bleh. Oh, but guess what? I have a new ko shamo cock coming that I am excited about! He is Splash wheaten, the first one I have had. I plan to put him with two wheaten hens to have all blue wheaten chicks out of them...

Kind of like a cold plus a fever and some chills, little achy. So not horrible so far, at least.

Morning Pond. I've got Covid. I've had it since Thursday, but the home test didn't pick up on it then. Took another test this morning and sure enough. I knew it was gonna happen because my mother got it, took a home test and read it wrong and thought it wasn't Covid, so we were all around her...

I'm just gonna use a finger brush, since she's small enough. I'm using Petsmile toothpaste, as it's the only one that is approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. I picked Rotisserie Chicken flavor. They also have London Broil and Vanilla Mint. I might try the vanilla next time because she...

Evening Pond. Up late preparing for a yard sale tomorrow. Hopefully I sell a bunch of stuff I don't need any more, lol. Then the money can go towards replacing the emu pasture fence. I'm training Pixel to let me brush her teeth. So far so good, she's now getting used to me sticking a finger in...

Well I have had a day. I woke up this morning and then set out to meet someone to pick up some ducks. We met at TSC, so I took the puppy with me and we went in and I bought her a pig ear. So far so good. Except on the way home I suddenly lost oil pressure and the car was screaming at me to...

So, I don't know if anyone here feeds Nutrena at all, but they're rolling out a rewards program for those who use their feed and pet foods. You sign up and then scan your receipts with Nutrena purchases to earn rewards points. They just gave out the info at my work. You can sign up here...

Morning Pond! Just got back in from a nice morning walk with Pixel. Nice weather out today, 60 degrees and sunny.
