Call Ducks or Bantams...Crazy Animals Around the Farm

[Soon2BChixMom]

To draw their attention to peck at the food I scatter and not each other. I still saw a few toe pulls and eye peck attempts, but hopefully it cuts down on that stuff.

I knew there was a reason, just didn't know why. Thanks for explaining!

Doesn't it also keep the babies from drowning in the water?

Getting my brooders ready today! One inside for the quail and soon to be pheasants. And one in the chickery for the baby chickens! Should have some quail hatches soon I hope!

Pheasants, gonna try to wean them off the light over the next week while it's hot so they can move onto the next size pen.

It's hatching day for my seramas~! 2 of the 13 didn't even have yolks in them and 1 died after hatching, But the rest (All 9) Are looking pretty healthy~ I consider that a pretty good hatch.. And the chick are sooo small I still can't get over it. I think once all of my serama hens start laying again i'm going to start selling their eggs or hatch out some chicks to sell..

I've also got a broody hen that had 5 eggs under her. 3 of the 5 hatched out, 2 I think are EEs and the yellow one must be a white rock x brahma.. They just hatched yesterday as well

(I'll have to get some clearer pics of the seramas later once the broodies are off of their nests)

(The second EE refused to come out from under mama so I had to take her out for a pic)

And to give you an idea on how small the seramas are I took some pictures of one of my seramas and one of the EEs together (Note that they are both the same age)

I have one with a questionable aircell. It's more on the side than the top. Not expecting that one to make it but you never know....
