Once again I can't believe its been so long since I posted on this thread. I gave some turkeys to the veterinarian in town. I have 14 from the hatchery and 7 from my rp tom and br hen. They are all now living it up in my new 80 x 80 pen. And here are a few of the results of some of my...

So the big news today is that today is day 25 on my duck eggs from the April egg swap. I opened the bator to move them to the hatcher and one of them was pipped! These are the ones with the big horrible air cells. I just moved the carefully to the hatcher. They were all rolling a little bit...

Well, I couldn`t stand it, the turkey eggs went in the Incubator (I hope I find some folks that need some turkey poults) along with some more banty eggs (Mostly sebright) and a couple of marans x production red. Our friend called last night and says how about some guinea eggs? OK! I`m kind...

Gosh, so much has been going on. I took all the eggs left in the banty nest and put them in the hatcher. They've been hatching about one every other day. I got three more turkeys hatched and some more sebrights. I now have three brooders going in the house. The river is coming up again, and...

I went out a little while later, and two of the hens were fighting, had each other bloodied up. I ended up having to take two of the hens out of the crate, leaving one with the chicks. I`ve still got some late ones in the incubator and hatcher from that setting, plus others. So now I have 1...

So this AM first thing I take the one chick that hatched out yesterday to put in the crate with the 3 mommas. Of course one of them had to flog me, protecting the babies. While she was flying at my arm, I released the chick. All this commotion had him scared and he squated quietly in the...

Yesterday the ladies came off for a little while with 4 little ones, one black with a white spot. (I really didn't think that huge maran rooster could breed these little ladies.) Today they came off for good, all three hens with 4 chicks, leaving about 8 eggs behind. After several hours, we...

Oh, it has been way too long since I updated here, my buckeyes are all outside. I divided out the coop and have them in one side, Next week I will be turning them out into the yard. The three BTW Japanese on one nest became 4 hens on one nest and a couple of chicks out of the shell...

Oh I am so bad. I have some eggs hatching for a friend. She brought over some of her mixed breed eggs, and I gave her some oegb and sebright eggs. Well, her little banties are hatching and I want to put them in with my hatchlings so bad! (I wouldn't really do that though). I have silkies...

Today the first of my buff orpington's hatched. cute little bright yellow fuzzy butts. Seven in the brooder and three more pips. day 23. I had several power outages with temp drops, but apparently only enough to slow down the hatch.I picked up a used incubator at the El Dorado show Saturday...

So now I`ve `got 7 silkie eggs of my own and 14 mail order silkies, 14 buff orpington, 6 turkey,6 oegb, and 17 barnyard specials that belong to my neighbor, in the bator. why did I order another dozen buff orp eggs? and where in the heck am I going to put them?

I've decided chickens are prejudice. When I integrated my four Maran pullets and rooster and their foster momma (a small RIR type hen) into a flock of red stars, they quickly accepted the RIR, but took about three weeks to adjust and accept the Marans. I have found the same thing with baby...

I got four more marans and two silkies out of the hatch, but the marans were out first and picking on the smaller silkies, so I separated the silkies into their own little brooder. As I related in another thread, my grandson squished the poor baby silkies, so there are now locks on the doors...

duh, so I can't count. Actually, it was 15 eggs in and 10 chicks out. The other five finally went flying after day 24. Today I have more hatching from another batch, two banties and some more marans. So far I have at least 4 marans out with the two banties pipped. These will be my...

Ten beautiful chicks! There are five unpipped eggs in the incubator, but the last 4 just hatched last night, so I will give them a little more time.

I put my 12 eggs in the hatching incubator on Friday. I wasn't sure about the eggs, never did get a good candling on them (marans) and the last one I did as I put them in the hatcher I really only saw motion in 2 of them. Saturday morning when I got up, the automatic breaker had thrown and...
