Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Listen, I have heard, that some people actually incubated and hatched eggs from a farmers market.. knock yourself out! Good cluck

Oh okk

 

[Scrambles83]

I honestly don’t know if the egg is fertilised?should I keep it under her when I put them back in the coop?

If she’s not broody she won’t sit in it to hatch.

 

[AfiafiAfi]

Oh thank u.I hope she is

 

[AfiafiAfi]

I mean it’s her egg though…well thanks anWay

I’ve put the egg in the coop.The female came running when she saw her eggy.they’re in the coop now and as far as I’m concerned she’s a broody.But I’m not sure if the egg is fertile.I don’t want to depress her by giving her loads of unfertilised eggs.pls can someone show me a rare technique for understanding the difference between freshly laid fertilised and unfertilised eggs?i already know the candling technique and it’s gonna take days but I’m leaving my grans today since the caretakers will care for my chickens

Good morning, it feels like afternoon here.

It's all go with toilet feeding and cleaning out coops.

Happy caturday and dog day

I met a man while on holiday several years ago. He would buy eggs for his bed and breakfast business, he got a lot of little chicks that way.

No drop bears in MT. Beware of jackalopes. Real bears can climb trees...so can mountain lions (who do like dropping on their prey from above). Also watch out for rocky areas (snakes: Rattlers) and cactus and yucca, and blizzards and tornadoes and volcanos and earthquakes and avalanches and moose and .... (keeps the tourists to just tourists: they go back home). Oh yeah, and wolves and stampedes and hordes of marauding Indians and no running water or electricity (thank you Hollywood)

Thank you Rural Mouse. Finally we have an all American challenge to the terror of Australian killer wildlife! Glad we can at least try and hold our own! Though I am struggling with the concept of a killer yucca TBH!
