How are you tonight?

Fine. Slept most of the day. You?

but would the extra protein be bad for the chicks, and ducks? would this cause the ducks to get angel wing?
i think i would have 3 brooder boxes lol

I would keep the ducks and the chicks together and the turkeys separated but if you want to keep the turkeys and the chickens living near each other I reccomend to raise the turkeys and chickens together as I have found that turkeys become agressive just by introducing the turkeys to the chickens I have only one turkey that is nice to the chickens the rest are extremely agressive so I make sure the chickens are safe and away from them at all times. But I think the ducks and chicks need about the same protein levels so I think that's what I would do.

Just candled: down to 7 duck eggs and 5 chicken eggs. I burned my finger on the bator and dropped the egg. Luckily it only cracked the dud, I think.

I made it through!

I tried several times to "swing up" into a saddle (before I knew how dangerous western saddles are), but I never made it.  Too bottom heavy, I guess. Even tried swinging my right leg backward before swinging it forward, for more momentum. All I ever accomplished was kicking the poor horse in the flanks.

I am 5.6 5.7 or so and I am like a twig so I just put my foot in the left stirup and swing my other leg around. And then I just swing my right leg back around to the left side and jump right down.

Alright well I am going to candle it's day 14 for most of the eggs.

Alright I am back from candling 15 of all the eggs are doing good, 4 of the serama eggs I am unsure about, and two of the serama eggs were a sure early death so I did and autopsy and they look they died on about day 4 or so. Hopefully the rest of the seramas do good and hatch or else I might have to order some more eggs Sally.
