Unbelievable.

I am supposed to be asleep.
I just came to check on the bator temp and guess what?




There are two live duck babies in the eggs.
Two eggs are good!


I thought for sure these eggs were bad.


I can not believe this.

 

[The Farmers' Daughter]

Stop talking to me. I'm trying to leave.


I didn't even put my Turner in because I was so sure these eggs were no bueno.
I'll do it in the morning.

I don't know about using the turner until you're able to figure out how many days along they are. Who knows? They could be at lockdown stage already!

My brother wants me to go look now bc 2 of 5 are out on the ground. I'm afraid to go look in case they need care... Anybody know about baby wild rabbits? Please tell me they look old enough to feed themselves.[/QUOTE]

Leave them. Maybe they will remember and leave your garden alone. Also babies hang out close to "home" for awhile. The mama may go out without them, but she will come back when it's safe (when you aren't standing there).

Go buy one or two bales of hay too.
The Northerners have straw and hay.
I still haven't figured out the difference.
We buy what we call hay down here.
I have been using it..plus lawn clipping for two years and it works perfectly.

I think this has been andwered. Hay is feed, probably more expensive too. Straw (I think a different plant even) is waste and can be bedding.

I go to town on garbage day in the truck in the fall and collect bags of leaves ..... less work

All our trees are conifers! There are slash piles of branches people set out when the town chipping program comes to their neighborhood. It's all part of the wildfire mitigation plan. No leaves.

I could have a rabbit farm there are so many out and about. My biggest problem is the snacks they leave. My ACD is ever so greatful but I'm not as happy about it. (At all) I like to see them hop around and if they are easier prey then my chickens then--"so long siwly wabbit"

My friend once said that her dogs eat rabbit turds like popcorn! I think all dogs view rabbits and chickens as treat dispensers.

used to be lots of rabbits here... until the coyotes showed up....

Rabbit are pests. Rabbits carry disease. Rabbits are great coyote snacks. It's hard to say if we have more rabbits or coyotes there's so many of both!

In other news ther are now 10 wildfires in Colorado. I am scared. The one by my house (about 8 miles away currently) blew up to 1500 acres yesterday. We knew it was bad when they sent us a plane. Evacuations have begun. The view from my house...

prayers for safety
rabbits are all those things.. and tasty
with all those flammable pines it's no wonder the place goes up in smoke whenever it's dry.
