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

[BantyChooks]

Good morning all. One more pip. EEEEEEEEEE, I can't wait!

(Said specifically because I know Ralphie isn't up at this hour to smack me )

Actually, scratch that---two more pips, making it up to 4 externals. The last one internaled some time yesterday.

Super cute! Will you raise it? Or is there a wildlife rehabilitation program?

He's adorable and very small, its a mission to keep him warm. I really hope he makes it.

Yep, Wildlife career... I have raised a good lot of joeys

Your alright, mistakes happen. Besides, there are plenty of ways to spell it......but my mistake is he's not actually a Kangaroo, he's a wallaby. Oops.

Mother is dead--Got hit by a car. I have been feeding him every 3 hours.

You can't bild something to let it feed constantly, a feeding bottle with something to keep the formula warm with a long latex feeding nipple that he can eat from it when ever it wants?[/QUOTE]

If I had super powers. Either way, he needs specifically 7mls of milk per feed. I do that (well similar, and not self-heating) for when the joeys get bigger.

You wanna try to build a self-heating auto one for me? That would help, a lot

BTW, sorry you're still not feeling well. Flu?

Thanks ☺ Well, I had the Flu before I got that nasty little sickness---I don’t know what that was. Maybe the chickens are making me sick

Your tempting me to set eggs.

Mother puss bucket!!!!!!!!!!

$%#&*^ %^&^%$## ^&% %$$$###

I've been up the past hour and a half with severe pain in my hand and wrist. I've been pacing around yelling obscenities, having taken a big dose of naproxen and smeared the whole thing with Voltaren gel to no effect. Now I'm watching the original Star Wars movie while pacing the den and muttering bad words.

Remind me of this next time I want to dry pluck 6 chickens.

Sorry, just wanted some company and to vent. (The cats don't seem sympathetic, they just think I'm weird.)

You need to buy you or make you one of those automatic defeatherer flotchies for in a drill motor. Chaos & Joey both use ones they made (sorry; can't get tags to work).

Hello! I wanted to quickly ask for some advice here

Ok so last week one of my dearly beloved pet chickens went broody and has been sitting on 10 (that was the last count I have a feeling there's been more sice then) eggs and been faithfuly sitting on them sice sometime last week. It may seem like everythings going fine but I'm sad to say it's not! I also have 2 white chantaclairs (I probly spelt that wrong) who ALSO what to sit in the same nest as Rainbow (the chicken mentioned at the start) I've been trying to keep the two hens away but it's getting insane what thier doing to Rainbow (BTW in my profile pic the black chicken on the right is Rainbow). Now another problem, Rainbow is a disabled chicken she lost use of her right leg sometime last year in a mating acsedent with one of our aggresive roos (Who died for the crime) Rainbow has troble properly sitting on the nest as well as getting in and out of the nesting box (When she is kicked out or has to go for food and water) whenever I'm out by the coop I always check on her.

Do you guys have any advice on this for me? I really would aprechate any help I can get since this is only my 3rd time with a broody and Rainbows first time doing this.

Cats have great intuition.....

I feel for your pain....

Try moving the broody to a dark quiet place with her eggs. If you lock her with her eggs she should stay broody. I have seldom been lucky enough to break a broody by moving her.

@Chaos18

Tags don't work for Joey.

Not working for Chaos this morning, either; not for me, anyway.
