Anyone have an idea what this is? Some one was processing chickens and these bees/wasps were attacking anything with blood on it. (about 2/3 down the pic in center, on green leaf)

It is a wasp I think from the genus Vespula Read this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespula

Benny, my man, I gotta disagree with you on this one. Our Yellow Jacket is roughly the size of a Honey Bee. Whatever that thing of Mike's is, it looks to be considerably larger. However, as far as I can tell, the markings are identical, so who knows?

Whit. I don't familiar with the wasps and hornets of the US, I am just guessing based on my knowledge.

i get it now, sorry! just try to keep them as upright as possible that would help the aircell, but if others are ok, concentrate on those

Pretty much all air cells jiggle, slightly. They don't slide around at all.. The eggs all show development of a dark spot/yolk now.... so I hesitate to mess with them too much, or move them around too much if leaving them alone would be best. I turned them this morning after candling, I just am not sure if leaving them alone, or turning gently 3x a day is okay at this point.

Loose air cells reduces the chance of hatching, but so does not turning. I think your best option at this point is to gently turn at least 3x a day.

MC yer lookin fairly bland today, whut up?

I found what I was looking for last week.

Rainy, snuggle in bed type of weather. How bout u runt? That was on our local news last night too about not kissing chickens. I mean every time I get near my chick chick he pecks me so no French kissing going on here!!

Wonderful that the kids know exactly were ther food is coming from! כל הכבוד Snd mow I want to see dome nice dish pic!

Well guys bad news.. My Serama roo Stan did not look good to me so I called my breeder friend (who also happens to be a nurse) and rushed him over to her house to brainstorm. He did not make it. I stopped to get gas and looked in the box.. He was gone I did however participate in my first poultry necropsy as the "photographer". I don't have any pics but they are posted on the poultry necropsy facebook page by her. So far no real answers. All my other birds are ok. I'm just bummed because I was working with him on the table days ago and he was doing great!!! So I won't get to show him as planned on 10/8 and his girlfriend is so sad by herself as am i..... Heartbreaking when you lose a pet...

oh no! I am so sorry

Marans chick same age as serama week old almost, and the just hatched serama

The size differences are killing me! Gulliver and the Lilliputians.

And it really shows how much the Seramas grow in their first week!
How do the newly hatched Seramas compare sizewise to quail hatchlings?

Here are my chicks that I got from @DesertChic

(Ignore the drizzle and the solid black non-Naked Neck)
They are so cute! I just love them!



In this batch, I got this one Chick that looks like a blue barred rooster. What do you think?

 

[Akrnaf2]

Sally what did you do with the hurts and livers? I really hope that you didn't throw them!!
They are WONDERFUL eating!
Skewr them and grill them on the gril, some salt and pepper and they are extremely delicious and because they grow without antibiotic and chemicals also very helty!
Not my pic.

DW and children love them greatly!
Full of vitamins especially B12, protein and Iron!

Why do people like the naked neck chicks so much? Don't they risk getting sunburned?
