The lady's geese were still laying. She's sending me 6 from her batch of geese. she had a few stragglers that were still laying. lol

good luck with them!

Chick #3 piped at the wrong end and drowned. Bummer.

that stinks sorry!

Absolutely nothing could be done. Chick pipped and seemed fine. Turned to start zipping and pecked right into the yolk sac. Suicide by hatching...

lol one way to look at it

Posting a quick update before I call it a night.

Woke up this morning to three early (I thought) Ameraucana mix chicks in the incubator. They were from eggs my white Ameraucana hen laid, but I don't know which rooster fertilized the eggs. I think it was my white rooster that was I sold this past weekend. So, they are mix of some kind but look nothing like the Mama hen, yellow legs/feet. Pictures later, sleepy now.

Had FFA Forestry competition for middle DS. Went well for the most part. Glad it is over so we can focus on livestock now, which he is totally psyched about!

Second flag football game for youngest DS. He scored his first ever touchdown. It was endzone to endzone, and the winning score!

Oldest DS had band performance at the last Middle School home football game. He is getting so good at playing the trombone!

I have been up and going since 5am and it is now just about 11pm. So, my exhausted self is calling it a night...

sounds busy, cant wait to see the chicks

africans with that bump yes? pretty!

or chinese, i think the chinese are smaller? where is @jwlpoultry he would know

I did. But, what I originally had wanted to do, won't work if I end up with multiple ducks... I also didn't think I was getting more then 2 ducks, so I ordered 10 from metzer farms... *hides face*

Then the guy called me and said more hatched, so he was sending me more, and was throwing in a random assortment of extra baby chicks he had... and I was all like... sure, okay.

Then realized... uhm... now I have to make a bigger area for the ducks! LOL

and what has hubby said about all these extras LOL

Yeah, we've already been discussing what all we needed done.
Including a milking stand for the goat(s). She's due around Halloween, I think.
