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

[Sally Sunshine]

IDK the saxony ended up losing two ducklings one was a male, my intention was choosing a trio and selling the rest, now I have one male and 7 females. so either I eat four females or give them away because no one is buying them. and the geese I hatched, gooserz hates them. so they gotta go, and no one seems to want them either, its a no win situation here. I have BCM Roo, three BCM hens, one OE, two ICE hens, one AM, and then kiddos serama need gone through to dwindle down yet, they hatched out tons of chicks this spring and its overloaded with three month four month grow outs majority cockerels ugh.... I will get to them soon..... so everything went, I do have three ORLOFS growing out, not sure what will happen with them. they are about three months too.

Well, now I know what's been making my feed vanish so fast. I'm evidently feeding a passel of crows and then some as well as my chooks.

Overload? Nonsense. One always needs mor burd.

I'd better make sure I have room for all I have this winter. If my two pair of missing guineas are in fact ALIVE (those jokers ) and they show up with more burd...gonna have close to 50 guineas. That's too much burd.

I heard something to that extent. I still don't want 'em spreading disease thru my coop.

Guineas are NOT burd. They're stinking little chook attackers.
