We're going to look and learn more than anything else. Mariah isn't hoping for great results so all should be good. Keeping my eye open for good quality birds. Hoping to see some doves/pigeons also so she can narrow down what she wants, who knows.

I've been bathing chickens ALL day. I still have 6 silkies to bathe/blow dry................

OK, NOW one of the chicks I've noticed has the pins of the feathers on it's wings but there still just fluff on them. Looks like a skeleton wing! The others this one's age has feathers..what??????

Do you have a closeup picture of the wing?

I vaguely remember, goose eggs............incubate on their sides and hand turn, there's something about having to do a cool down period daily and spray them with water daily...........from day ? on. I forget, LOL

I have a pip!!!!!

And day 21 isn't until 10 PM tomorrow! My little icelandic surprise egg from chiqita is going to hatch early! The hole is big and I can see its little beak sticking out! Huzzah!!!!

Icelandic are notorius for hatching on day 20.

Hmm, maybe The Fonz is some kind of crazy mutt chicken/EE/delaware. *shrugs* I never noticed his little muff beard until Easter Egger was mentioned.

He's a good model though

Wrong kind of comb for a Delaware.

Yes, and the color is wrong for a Rooster.

I wonder what color eggs his offspring will lay?

Mornin'!

I cannot keep up with you guys!!! 182 posts since last night?! Geesh!!!

I cannot believe I'm going to do this, but I've been bitten by the Coturnix quail bug & I will be getting a dozen shipped eggs tomorrow!!! I have read & read & read, but nothing is really telling me how long to let them SIT before I SET . I'm collecting fertile eggs from my own Jumbo Pharaoh's to add to the bunch!! So excited!! Is a day ok? Also, they are being shipped from Kansas... just wondering how well people do with shipped quail eggs & the fertility when they get here.

I have a 7 week old chick that looks a little weak this morning...brought her in & giving her sav-a-chick & vitamins/electrolytes. I hope she perks up quick.
I hope everybody is having a good morning. Looks like the rain is coming.... bleh!

Quail eggs are different. They loose moisture and become inviable quickly. I would pt them in immediately and just not turn them for a few days. Still, in Marin, sick, and my phone died. Its been a crazy week work for 12 hrs, sleep for 12 hrs...... next week is crazy too I hope I survive.
