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

[kaybee123]

I think I've found some silver lace Wyandotte near hens about a year old. I'm going to look at them Tuesday night, they are about 45 minutes away. Hoping it's not a wasted trip but I really want one walking around my backyard (after being quarantined first) for esthetic reasons! . Then I want a Partridge Wyandotte or Rock, a Silkie, a silver lace bearded Polish to complete things. I'm hoping I get them to hatch first but that I get females from my seramas, lavender AMs, cream legbars, Wheaten AMs, and BCMs!!!! Work in progress right?

I am soooooo glad I did eggtopsies outside. 2 infertile, one formed with internal pip, two quit this week ... And one exploded on me. Hysterical only because I was outside. Boy do my hands stink!

My Momma hen hatched out 3 poults, one I had to help and didn't make it, past 2nd day, hen took them out of brooder house and it some how got stuck on it side and was still alive, but died shortly there after, other two are doing great. I gave my broody Lavender, who only hatched one chick, 6 broilers to raise, due to it being a splurge purchase, while getting some shipping boxes at Meyer, who can turn down dollar a piece. I had no available brooder boxes, so when she excepted them, I was ecstatic. It is HOTTTTTTTT here and Hotter at work, sucks, heavy OT, but lots of money to be had. Time and half on 6th day and on seventh day double time, can't bet making 38$ an hour for the same work.

awwwww did you pull her and separate her yet?

Yes, she's been separated for a lonnnngggg time, then DH said she wanted to be back with her gf's after her poo looked normal again etc., but she was immediately attacked not in a nice way, lol, by the big roo and then the other girls just followed his lead. Smokin mad at him... So since then, at least two weeks, she has been in with the little ones in the day and then she can sneak under the gate to sleep with the big girls and boys at night and she can't wait to get back in "elementary school" in the morning. All the drama, I don't know. We need a shrink!

Lol! Yes! I sat outside tonight and my buff Orpington hopped on my shoulder while my Barred Rock hopped on my knee and the others gathered around. Chicken Life is Good! Hey, I think BYC should make a knock off Life is Good tees with stick ppl and chickens! Hahaha!!!

Okay, the following seems to be a nightly issue, is it ever going to get better? Lol. Or is there something I can do to alleviate the issue.

Every night at roosting time, my chickens sit on my back porch rail. My two 4 month olds and one 3 month olds squabble peck and fight to get under each other or my two other layer hens. Everyone wants to be underneath. Right now a 4 month old pullet has her wings spread out in the middle with a big roo under one wing and the 3 month pullet under the other wing. They got under her, not that she wants to do that. Anything I should do?

Well. I had two chicks that had fluffed feathers again. I put all the large enough chicks into the flock. I put corid in all water. I only have 7 small chicks left in the brooder pen. I'm going to change things around. I'm buying the house and run and building another one. I've got to get everything to where they can get outside into the sun and have more room.
