Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

I hope he is wondering in my lower level tomorrow LOL

Ah such a pretty boy hope he's feeling all better tomorrow for you

It was spur I think or possibly just his claws . She was bent over picking up an egg so he had a perfect shot at her face. Once the welts went down she had 2 scratches one starting at the corner of her eye going down to her mouth and one starting on her nose ending in the same spot .

Quote: how can you tell they are gonna do it? do they do that sideways dance like they do to hens or do they just run and attack or what?

you know I keep running into people that wait to let their chickens out in the morning! It makes sense to let them in a bit so that everyone gets bored and lays eggs before heading out to forage. Anyone else read this or know this? LOL I am always a late bloomer here

I have 2 chicks left in the bator, one is weak and resting so I left the other in with it, I lowered temp to 97 added a little water with brown sugar and also some growgel. I hope she makes it she has some pretty stripes as a chick for a serama : (

And my little mix breeds

My rooster's leave for freezer camp Monday so the 3 I have left to hatch out of this batch and the 5 I set for Easter will be the end of hatching from my own flock . A bit sad to see the boys go but the big guy got my daughter in the face barely missing her eye yesterday so it's time for them to go .
I think she finally believes mom that roosters can do more than peck and chase you . She got lucky and managed to fling him across the coop before he could come back for more.

Ouch.

Poor baby... Hope it heals up fast.

I love roosters and I put up with some nonsense from my boys, but things like this is unacceptable. He could've taken her eye out!

I heard most hens lay in the morning, but some of mine lay in the afternoons as well. But think about it: hen needs 25 hours to produce an egg, so even if she lays daily she'll start in the mornings and end up laying in the afternoons eventually. Unless she takes a day off somewhere to "reset the clock"

Looks like we're going to have ducks sooner than expected. Went and checked on the humidity just now and found a pip. They were due Monday? The temperature was spot on
