The pups are back. someone took them in and called animal control with there number saying they would keep them there until someone called in....


Chickee love the chicks.

I am pleased that everyone likes their chicks

Hope to see pictures

Did you find some Silver Duckwing Ameraucanas?

That must have been scary and a big worry to loose your dogs. Glad someone was kind enough to take them in and you got them back safely.

They are sprouting little wing feathers now and becoming more active. We had a quick meeting for sure

the ride home felt much quicker than the drive there for sure. My dad told me that I need a farm, lol.

It would be great to have a farm

I have had everything from pet Monkeys to horses. I love all animals

So glad they are home now.  I do the same thing with lost dogs out here, drives DH nuts wondering if I'm adding to our head count.  
I picked up a whippet mix years ago when coming home late one night.  I let it in the house, it ran straight for the bedroom, jumped on the bed and dived under the covers.  I don't know who was quicker, Eric flying out of bed or dog diving under the blankets.

LOL That's a whippet for you. They always know the under the covers trick.

I'm so glad the dogs are home Jason and kept well and dry during the storms.e

We have quail popping out of their shells today!!!!

One hatched Easter evening with over a dozen pips on other eggs and then nothing until this morning! I was so worried that I had killed the rest of them when I rescued Frank and took him out of the incubator. He is going to be so happy to have company! I better get another brooder ready!

Today, I learned what the little corner clips that came with my Genesis 1588 are for. I didn't use them with the chicken eggs with no problems but the quail are a different story. Several of them got in between the screen and the plastic water tray and took a swim! Once one of them got under the screen, it made room for more and they followed. Not good! If I had used the clips, that would have been prevented! I just had no idea that these quail would be tunnelers! Fortunately, we were watching them hatch and saw it happen. I hated to open up the incubator but the alternative would have been drowned quail. I put water bottles partially filled with warm water on each end to weigh down the trays & screens. There are around 16 hatched out so far!

Those are some crazy Quail!

They just wanted to take a bath!

Good job saving them. Some use foam shelf liners over the wires. That might help those silly Quail!

Yep! I never knew how crazy they could be! If I had just used the clips, it would have been fine. The screen isn't completely flat so when I weighed down one side, the other side came up. So it got a water bottle also. I thought about putting on the clips but decided that it would take me too long. Sticking in a water bottle was a quick fix, I hope. I better go check on them again...
