4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[Sally Sunshine]

Pardon my ignorance (I know all the questions get annoying), but there don't seem to be any entrant photos in the Broody Photo contest thread. As much as I would like to believe that I have no competitors and the prize is all mine precious,my luck just doesn't roll that way .

Should I also post a photo here in the main photo to be entered into the contest?

I thought it said to post in this thread? I did... where is the other thread?

Well I am out! Just candled and none are fertile. Y'all have fun.

I'm sorry, you can still participate in a lot of the contests though!

We'll have to fix that, huh?

And now on to other subjects.

My crazy houdini hens are out of the pen again this morning which means more eggs in places they shouldn't be! Maybe the dusting of snow we got last night will make her rethink where her eggs should go!

And I'm now thinking of adding in to my little farm some ducks! I kinda wanted a duel purpose duck such as a good meat/egg layer and was thinking of the khaki campells (I might of misspelled that). But I think the call ducks that folks have been posting on here are totally adorable!

I also like the runners especially blue ones but again I think they are more of a looks/maybe eggs instead of duel purpose?

So I will have goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, and planing on getting a couple breeder heritage American Guinea hogs in the spring after my goats kid. I think that is going to be enough in the way of critters at that point!

I'm probably late to he party, but I hatched Welsh Harliquin and Ancona for Easter hatch, just had the last 9 butchered, the processor and the USDA inspector said they looked really nice, and these people see a lot of poultry. They were also fun to have around, and laid regularly while the chickens were molting.

well its getting late, and i have a birthday party to attend to tomorrow. My 'Billy Boys' turn one tomorrow.

interesting story actually, our neighbor callde us saying his friend needed some kids gone thats mother had her bag stomped off by a horse ( YET THEY STILL BRED HER -_-) of course, i couldnt say no. that day we were on our way to our first goats, bottle feeding them since a few hours old. we only had to drive 2 hours to get them.

i remeber it was really muddy that day and the guys farm was a mud pit. we sunk to our knees in mud. ICK. but at least we reached the kids and Timmy had scours and refused to eat, apparently had to get tube fed? we almost didnt get him cuz we didnt want that problem but i figureed that billy needed a friend. well my grandma was over that time and she didnt even bother to hide her worries about him. just saying every tow minutes 'OHHHHH HES NOT GONNA MAKE IT

'

even though every feeding was a battle for a few weeks, we finally got him to accept this. when we laid sod down they would help us, by jumping all over and watering it
ohh since im so tired i wont say too much sorry for posting randomness, but i must go!

big day tomorrow!! cant wait to treat them to a treat!!
