just had a very bad night. Had to put my 27 year old mare down. I had her for 16 of those years and she gave me 7 babies (only one was a filly that we still have). She was a fighter till the end but when she could no longer get up, it was time.

Just pulled the silkie blanks from the incubator, I am soooo tempted to put in the first few CCL eggs my girls laid this week.

I mean what harm could it cause

Geez I've got to get my butt over to the incubators anonymous thread...... then again after reading some of the posts over there they need to change the title to the "incubators enabler thread"

Anyone else try to test hatch their pullets first few eggs?

I AM BACK! Thanks for all the well wishes.... I hope it is GONE. I am much better but still not up to speed yet. It was a stomach bug of some sort. I had it a few weeks ago too... odd really.

Well I lost 6 of the SFH chicks..... Not sure what happened but it was similar to when my hatcher got to 113 and KILLED all the chicks.... I came in and saw them all laying down like they were sleeping or dead. The hatcher was NOT hot.... spot on at 99-100 and had not been hot either. I had all 16 in one basket.... I can only guess they got too hot with so many in one box ????????? I think they had brain damage. They were shaking and not waking up. 2 were dead in the hatcher 1 more died in the brooder and then 3 started going down. I think the worst is over. If anyone has an idea what that was let me know. I am going to stick with the theory that it was over crowded and HOT.

I have hatched 5 SLW chicks VERY EXCITED about that. More in the hatcher

One SLW pullet has started laying again and the roo is doing his job

saw him in action today

It is going to be 72 here tomorrow but the temps are going to drop after that but still not as bad as it was a few weeks back. I have about 40 juvies I need to move outside BUT it is FAR too muddy and we have 4-6 inches of rain coming in the next few days.

I need to get some gravel in those runs ASAP

Next time if I can afford it.... concrete for the runs.

Anybody who owes me eggs Just let me know they are coming.... I have room.... bator holds 540 eggs.

I am shipping some eggs saturday. Papa Brooder, Superjjf ..... and an order. ANYBODY I AM MISSING?????

oh gosh...so sorry to hear about the 6 chicks. Frustrating and sad. Hugs
