 (I wonder if they'll taste as good as a real crawdad boil. If you like seafood like me, probably not...)

 Here is you Signe ala Creme! Also known as a swan creme puff.

and for anyone I forgot 

 
I am warning you it won't be personalized all the time, this is an opening specialty! I'll probably just throw some pie at you tomorrow...

Sweet, thanks!

Ah. Well that's great for incubating eggs, but you need some welshies or campbells or something.

I like creme Puff swans...Of course I like creme puff anythings...


I have a new wound today..

A White Legbar bit my hand. I have teeth marks in the back of my hand.....

I think she was ticked off when I boxed her baby up for shipping...

Chickens are surprisingly vicious, eh?

WOW, you were not chittin me were you! Now lets narrow this dream down. Where is the safest place with the best government and healthcare? I have some issues I live with. I have more wants but will get to them later with a shorter list

Well, I can't remember if I told y'all about having to swap out my Isabels for CCL (I think I did) ,but the CCLs are doing great. All 7 eggs are developing. Once again I got very few messed up air cells and all but two fixed themselves after settling. Come on CCLs!

yup you told us! glad all of yours are ok! my shipped orloffs and AMs look terrible I threw at least half of each out.

Morning all!

I candled the eggs Friday evening and saw movement in 6 of them, wasn't sure about the 7th, but I assume it was okay also.

Today is lockdown! Fingers crossed that they are all still alive and that the kids get to see them hatch later this week!

GOOD LUCK beautiful!

Ok I turned the humity on my Incubator down to 40% then the alam went off when it went to 39%, anything else I need to do?

see above?

Hi

Hey Run whut up?

I have pips in some quail that I can see and I hear chirping

@BantyChooks I set some more eggs too

Liz, that thing turning?

Got eggs this morning. First time in a month at least! Big one is giant cochin, Mae West. Middle is a mix I got from a feed store three years ago, Herkey, first chicken I ever held. Small I thought was banty cochin, but now I'm thinking maybe guinea? It was under the broody Cinder, who is the guinea's mama. I can't imagine anyone else trying to lay in a broody box when chicks are hatching.


Went out and heard frantic peeping. Cinder was gone, chick was gone. I found Cinder two nests over setting those three eggs. I found the chick out in the run.


It's poor little head was sopping wet from being licked.

when did you get a cow!!! did I really miss a post like that? and on FB? what the heck!

Kate's Bakery is up an at 'em!

Sally, mini cow was on loan for our petting zoo last weekend. And we borrowed a mini donkey!

Bubba and the babies were out cold!

I used a 55gal plastic barrel once. Added soil as they grew. Think you have to use the right variety of potato, not sure what I used that time. Ended up with 5lbs of potatoes on the bottom of the barrel where they started....
