Hi Sally!!!!

Thank you!!!!

How are you doing? Are you overrun with pups and chicks? I will try to get you photos of the Fly Tie chicks - I'm pretty sure they are most of the black ones in that photo.

Eggtopsy or chuck 'em in the woods after I'm sure they are dead.

We have 3 new chicks just hatched and one that might be out by now. Ones an olive egger (Barnie/olive egger) and 3 are from the coop with an orp and rock over Sussex and rock over dom & rock so one of those lol. A couple look lighter so that'll be fun and there are a bunch more eggs a couple blue, a few green, a Barnie if it's developed and a bunch of those mixes! I hope they do well! Will get pics soon it's so hot here I could die yuck

Hi All,

I have one of my 3 week old Polish chicks that it's bottom beak isn't lined up with the top, and it seems to be getting worse. This chick is smaller than the other 3 from the same hatch - so I think it's not getting as much food. Is there anything I can do to help it?

Thanks!

sorry Kathy, they do get worse as they grow...

For those who know Ur condolences are in order as his second batch of 30 coveted heritage RIR are on day 22 with only two having hatched and the last eight don't look good

oh dang !!!! thats a bummer!!

I toss them into my compost bin. I try to crack them, but if they don't break when they land, turning the compost usually takes care of it.

March first Rainbow from Hoover's Hatchery. Like a RR..

They should be fine with a 24 to 36 hour rest. Most of the rigor leaves in the first 24 and then the amount of tenderizing diminishes over time. If you leave the bone in, rigor leaves faster.

That's a bummer.
I have a lot of eggs squeezed into a LG right now and I know only about half will hatch, as long as temps hold steady from this point forward. Trouble is, about half are due in 2 days and 6 hours and there are 3 more settings in there but I had no choice. Part of the problem was many of the eggs were past their prime.
At least I didn't have to buy and ship them.

you cant just have one goat well I guess you can if you gonna sleep wit it

Some people shouldn't keep animals. Or should I say, most people.

You know you are Burd Crazy when......



It is a hot day, so your ducks and chickens get filtered water with icecubes.

Don't they all get ice water?

Actually when it is hot I put a frozen water bottle in the founts but don't really use ice water. Too cold on a hot day and it can restrict the capillaries.
Foot baths with a frozen water bottle in them are great.
