welcome back

We started the third brooder condo yesterday. I taught the guys how to use a jointer planer as we milled lumber. they were very quick studies and whipped out 16 10 ft lengths of 1*4 in 2 hours.

merkan eggs go into the hatcher today....

I know. And she's doing everything so much faster than Thomas, so it feels like a freight train thundering by

It wont be long before she surpases his language level.. she's a chatty thing.

Didn't you have some mystery eggs this hatch?

About time we get some new pics

Our little lady just turned 1.

someone is learning to wear their food

but as long as she gets some inside her mouth i guess it's all good

That little girl of mine is a pro when it comes to eating

She eats more than the 3 year old.. kid loves a pork chops, broccoli, strawberries, grapes, green beans, potatoes, rice, pasta... you name it, she eats it. The only thing she's not fond of is eggs (I think she doesn't like them cooked all the way, but safety first with little ones) and asparagus. Everything else? Om nom nom. She's been known to steal food from her brothers.. Funny because she wanted nothing to do with solids until she was 8 months old. Kid caught up

And she eats on her own... just chop it up and let her have at it. She growls while eating if she enjoys her food

That kiddo of yours is your and the missus spitting image, Pig. She's got mommas eyes from the looks of it. Growing like a weed too.

thank you Chicka, it's an easy way to house young chicks for the 1st couple weeks
i have 3 of them in the kitchen as i type
each will hold 2 to 3 dozen hatch-lings

she looks just like is did at that age but the eye color

it's almost like looking at myself when i see her picture

the latest news is she is crawling

walking will follow in a few months i would say

she is about to turn 6 months & she still doesn't care for solid food

that may change when teeth show up

My son is my carbon copy. You can put our toddler pictures next to eachother and barely know who is who. He has his daddy chin and that's about it. Milly is a mix, although she looks a whole lot like me.. curious to see how she'll 'feather out'

Eagerly waiting for hatching news from Oz

I candled some scovy eggs today. Very obvious development.. but I have no clue how long we've got left til hatching.. thinking a week or so. Their momma got it all covered though. But I stole 3 eggs to stick under a broody chicken. Between the 3 muscovy I have almost 50 eggs

They could miss 3 to help a broody chicken out.
