Thank youI used the quart-size chick feeder & waters within reach of the nest for my broody (something I already had). I put marbles in the waterer until all the chicks were running around. I've also heard that the wide bottom cat dishes work well.
OMG
Beautiful!
Thank you, I am so happy with them. Can't wait until these little ones come out.
Is the concern with touching eggs that skin oils will clog pores, or that the bloom will rub off? If it's the bloom thing, then gloves or not wouldn't make a difference, right? I hand-turn my eggs, and was thinking I should be using some kind of gloves, maybe latex? Or will washing my hands first be enough?
Same here, just came back from unloading a large bag of wood shavings in the wet spots of the run. My husband downed 14 trees and with the neighbors portable saw mill at use, there is piles of it. The only problem now is the pile is water logged. Thankfully we brought down 4 large bags to the barn before the rain.
Hey, it seemed logical to me! How was I supposed to know they'd pop like that?
okay, yes, it was a joke.
Pretty babies. What's the plan for them? Are they broke to ride or drive? Maybe both?Here is a picture of the bird who hatched 1st in NYD HAL 2014 CLL a gift from my cousin via Pappa Brooder (cousin got to name her, apparently his wife actually wanted the bird named after her !??!)Sorry she looks shabby, she is the #1 favorite of all the Roos ... ;/
Happy Yule YA'LL & here is what I mean about major distraction from candling etc.
soon will be shoveling after these & 2 more...so nice of them to lower their heads so I could pet them...& not stepping on me that is cool too!
