I'd send you some eggs, but my fertility is CRAP. I hatched one chick that we had to cull and all of the rest of the eggs were clear.
Now my hens are both broody and not laying...it's been an interesting year, to say the least.

HINT HINT! Mr. East!

Or East will hit you with a broom (orrrrrr shovel) when you are sleeping!

He's been really good about building pens for me. He did, however, tell me NO MORE COLORS until he gets caught up on pen building.
Well, gotta go get everyone settled for the night...back later all!

You could still get more ducks of the colors you already have?

LOL, the goat barn has been a work in progress and it was just happened to finally make it to my yard today. It was free but moving it was a big to do. Now we need to get it to the right spot and get it off the trailer that it is mounted to. Then there is the fencing. I should be able to get a little goatie in another year or 2

Maybe I should just go ahead and get one and then he will have no choice but to hurry up and build it a pen

Giving the maran chick to my broody silkie was a big fail. They were fine when I left at about 2 but I just got home at 9 and mama was sleeping with the other silkies and I found the baby cold in the middle of the floor

He is in the brooder now hopefully recovering.

East, I am not having good luck with my own eggs here either. The duck eggs I did get have all hatched (except 4 that didn't develop because they sat too long and 1 that was too thin and broke) but she only laid 10 total so that is only 5 duckling total if the one due next week makes it. And the marans eggs seem to be good but I have had 0 luck with the silkies and the easter eggers

I would get the goat and tell him to hurry it up! (I would get 2 so the one isn't lonely)

I wonder why she did? I would think she would stay on the floor with the chick...?
Noone is having good luck with eggs, fertility, and incubators!
