What happened to the fox grain and chicken?

chicken got eaten, fox left due to being hungry, grain went to waste since the chicken was in my belly.

lol not sure I will comment on that one paddler I wont use anything else, not one issue with them in all these years, and have yet... knock wood to replace any of the discs either.
dang!!!! perhaps the coma was good enough for him to not feel those broken bones.

Here she is and those are the babies

I love blue cochin!! sweet girl!

Nothing like coming in the house for lunch hot and sweaty and getting in the pool to cool off. One of the best things about summer.

@fire370 show off my pool is green yet

Well back in from doing things. Good news it's only 90*. Bad news my broody hen died this morning. It wasn't too hot yet I think older age got to her. So I rounded up the chicks and got the brooder back together.

Peter what happened?

Just culled 4 Cemani cockerels that didn't make the cut to be additions to the breeding program. Made a nice stiff drink and I think I'm gonna jump in the pool.

are these your own or the ones you bought for breeders?

My attempt at getting the heat up in the brooder; hasn't helped much. Still can't get it out of the mid-80's,
according to the thermometer I never thought to calibrate.

Not the best picture I've ever taken. Still in the 'bator, prior to the latest two to hatch. Actually have a picture of all 5 so far, but it's disappeared somewhere.



This is the one that I couldn't find. The single black & 5 yellows; 1 w/the black spot mid-back & another w/several smaller black spots further forward, which may be discernible if blown up.

whites!!!! you go !!!! congrats!!!

The second egg hatched about 2 hours ago.

CONGRATS!!!

Thought I'd share the Christmas rope light/brooder idea again. This rope is warm to the touch and as you can see the chicks love it. I wound it on top of a piece of cardboard with a cut off box in top. Chicks are 3 days old if that and barn is 70* at night. I had to take them back from broody hen as she unfortunately died yesterday.

Such a great idea, and they do produce enough heat?

My first Bantam EE egg from backyard!

Thanks so much! @TJChickens


Can't wait to be hatching my own

CONGRATS!!!

First Peachick of the year. Sadly only one hatched and it is very needy and lonely AKA screeches whenever she is put down.

sorry she is a loner but she is a liver!! she is so cute!!! congrats @Phage

First chick out. Last pip of the three so far. Other two coming along slowly. Nine hrs since First pip.

@paulaspina got an update? good luck have you found this?

Ballut is food to them. Just because I won't eat it doesn't mean it's not food.
