EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Sorry, sweetie, I know NUTHIN' about processing ducks. Chickens, I can do. Not ducks. (Also processing area of the yard/deck is a giant mess and overgrown, needs to be cleared out again for next batch.) 

Autocorrect keeps changing your name to "Anti" - glad you knew I meant you. :D

:weee

BTW, there was another pip as I was walking out of the house. (I'm just siting here eating a boiled egg and waiting for someone to show up for their meeting with me.)

So glad it's Friday!!!!

Yay!! Kaj's duckies stay alive!!

LOL, not many named "Anti" around here, specially with ducks hatching :p

Or rather, SUPPOSED to be hatching.

I butchered a duck once, then I got in trouble for skinning it because apparently you can't cook duck without the skin.... but if that was true then why are there so many videos on how to skin a duck!? :confused: :idunno :confused:

somebody didn't know how to cook a skinned duck. I do it all the time. No problems...

that my hen will start laying! Everyone else is unseasonably early!
i cant wait to have geese!

You should be good to go, then. My 1st female Irish Setter had bad hips, to a very slight degree, but she moved so well that we never suspected anything 'til some of her 1st litter showed up with it.
agreed, i wish my husband had let me breed her once like i wanted too though

I am so sad

The restaurant that Bill and I had dinner at after we got married is closing its doors as of 2/19
hit.gif
It is on top of the Ren Cen in Downtown Detroit and has the most fantastic food and view. But I geuss real eastate in the city is at a premium high right now and people aren't spending the kind of money on dinners often enough these days for them to renew their lease. Guess we will be going out for an early anniversary dinner and getting dressed up after all

that stinks, at least you were already planning on going out

I took a picture of the Toads from the other days hatch.

I was wondering is any of you can pick the toads out of the chicks..

How old now?
they hatched 10/31&11/1 so just 3 months

Yup, just 1 brownie in a mug, after the kids go to bed. If I make a whole batch, I'll eat a whole batch and I'm trying to cut back lol. Since I'm out of wine and my day was lousy, and you showed me chocolate lol
thats just a tease though!

I am on my way to the auction to drop off my Saanen buck. I hate taking animals to the auction, but as we all know reality is hard and I can't keep them all
sad.png
True, but my dilemma with him is that even though he is a rare registered purebred Saanen, and could be a good sire for a couple of seasons his time is limited. His first owner did not pasteurize the milk she bottle fed him and did not know her doe carried CAE. He won't pass it through semen, but it is a digenerative condition that he is showing signs of at less than two years. For me it is a tough call wether I think the meat market is best. He produces nice kids, but I worry someone would let him live too long in pain when it progresses.
hugs.gif
tough choice but i think you made the right one

you need to train the beepers to pose and not poop on me when I try to take their pics
rant.gif
lol good luck!!

hey're still unfamiliar enough with the scale that most of them freeze at least briefly. Can't help you with the poop thing. Diapers?

Well, those little eggies certainly think it is, Elsa...

What do u guys think of this incubator. I know its a cheap one but its about all i can afford. It has leds under each egg cradle for candling
thats a neat one!

notta word about kiddo, pup took a turn for worse yesterday, very lethargic ears goopy joints big and swollen and glands all swollen, so switched to cephlexin and this morning she was a little stinker again, so praying the higher dosage and switches of meds will work, from what I am told this could be a very long process.... like weeks to months ughhhhh
shes so cute! i hope she pulls through
fl.gif
what will you do with her if she does?
still not good Benny, they are running more Fecals and more labs
fl.gif

A day later than planned (due to some technical difficulties with the STC-1000 and losing prior settings) but I have 41 mixed breeds in the bator as of last night.

I took it easy yesterday and have no choice but to today. It was a very "odd" day here yesterday
hide.gif
and do to unforeseen circumstances some stuff didn't quite get done and some stuff that did get done now will need to be redone when I feel better or have help . I've started listening to my body instead of "pushing through the pain" like the Dr. told me
rant.gif
I do my exercises to keep my joint from locking up and to preserve mobility but if something hurts I don't do it-plain and simple. i have a high pain threshold and have done everything I was supposed to do. When it hurts, I stop and rest-heat and elevation or soak it in an epsom salt bath. I hope he will write me a script for a TENS unit-that really helped with the pain, swelling and discoloration after therapy. I don't play with sharp objects or handle fragile things or anything heavier than a pound, And I don't worry if I don't sleep well at night because I just take a nap during the day when I get tired. Done feeling crappy about this and worrying about it. It is what it is and I am lucky it wasn't something worse. Just adjusting to a new "normal"-if I can even say that about myself without cracking up
