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

[BantyChooks]

One of my dorks sitting on the milking stand. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in their little bird brains...

I'm going to get a conversation out of y'all dusty jaws even if it kills me. Nothing exciting going on? No aggressive roosters to eat? No more eggs set? No incubator builds or upgrades?

Lucy says hi.

Owning goats has been a blast so far. Hoof trimming has been the biggest pain, but I keep chipping away away at it. I'm not sure whether Lucy or my back complains about it more!
The chickens still think goats are carnivorous and run like their butts are on fire if they walk too close to them.

As of now you can keep the goats.... hubby said OK to the chickens, dux, and turkeys but so far draws the line at goats...but that's OK cuz I have my hands full with my current projects.
I am interested in finding good or at least decent buckeyes, Dominique,and Rhode Island red. I have committed to keeping some Americana''s and I am in love with my turken and turkeys so if I can come close to keeping up with this and some decent layer dux I will be a busy girl..
On a positive note I checked the turkey eggs under the broody chicken and so far they look good.
Oh and I sold 4 turkeys today so a good day.

I’ve got 7 roosters to sell. And 4 older hens. Roosters were given to me. New coop build is still going slow but making progress. No eggs due but I have two broodies that just won’t quit. Every afternoon I take eggs. Next day right on cue there they are again. Too hot here for more chicks. Deer are crazy thick here this year don’t need goats. They are actually a little on the thin side. Trying the white Cornish as a breed and Speckled Sussex.

I think that your chickens are the survivors from this chick batch.....

Boo!!

Goats and chickens don’t mix. Smart chickens for running away

Aretha has one week to go for this hatch. Her last hatch produced one duckling that died soon after.
I gave her three fresh Pekin eggs. I’m hoping she succeeds this time.
Meanwhile, the broody Pekin failed too (but she was out in the open during numerous storms), but was fine giving up. She and her parents are sleeping with the chickens for some reason.
