Wow you are published....

I still have to get my nerve up to begin that process. I hope to ePuplish on Amazon for my first. a friend did it and will walk me through the steps.

That's what I did too, Perchie - self pub on Amazon. There are some women self-pub SF authors totally rocking the charts at the moment. Get writing and go and join them!!

I hope she makes it!!!!! She is looking g good to be opening her eyes!!!

So glad she seems to be making it through. Can't wait to see when she's fluffed up.

So sorry all that I've been MIA been quite the weekend around here not to mention last week. Well firstly @Cynthia I am so sorry for your loss and sending hugs and prayers your way.

Secondly @Sally Sunshine thank you for asking about my little ones that had cocci. I do believe the three are out of the woods although they're main diet still consists of moistened crumbles I don't care because they're alive and eating and they need to regain the weight they lost. I'll deal with switching them back later.

And thirdly also @Sally Sunshine you don't know it as I hadn't joined BYC yet and was just a lurker but I too owe you a thank you. For your hatching 101 article and more importantly your assisted hatch article. My first hatch was silkies and three bonus bantam eggs. Well your article saved one of those bonus bantam eggs. I had quite a few problems with sticky chick as I hadn't calibrated and I was following the manual. Well I'm happy to say that of three eggs that needed help(one was already gone when I realized it) I managed to save one of them. The third died for unknown causes half way through the assist it was ready to hatch and there was no blood.

Little Crocket spent her first 36 hours in a padded country crock dish BC the other chicks were a little too curious. She is a self blue oegb and positively a puppy dog. She also layed her first egg last week.



So thank you thank you thank you a million times over. I couldn't have done it without that article. Thank you for all you do.

Also a few pages back I forget who posted it but the beautiful gray egg ohmigosh! I'm in love and I want it. Please post pics of the hen that layed it.

country crock dish!!!! love it!!!

Adorable!

mixes are always such cute chicks!!

It is snowing..hard! Went to bed with it raining, we knew we would wake up to snow. We need it. We know that our mountains are accumulating the white stuff..that's what counts for us to help us get out of this drought. Now, if we could only have around 10 more good snow days like this. Worried about our apple tree out front that we didn't prune because we love the shape, it still has leaves on it. Have lost a branch or two in the past when it snowed like this before. Will have to take photos when we head out in a bit. It's so pretty out there. Have a great day everyone. Sounds like there are some babies here, and some real close to getting here. Good luck!

I hope you are feeling better today

Well I decided to upgrade to a Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance EX the humidity pump seems to be a necessary upgrade and I have to much invested in eggs to struggle with the Genesis at least with shipped eggs. I hope I did the right thing... It should be here before my replacement eggs for the 0-12 BCM eggs and will come in handy for the Sky Blue Egg Araucana eggs I have coming in the spring.

I really want to do a New Year's hatch, I'm just not sure what to hatch. I think I'm going to throw in some silkie/frizzle cochin eggs, just for fun.
And while I'm at it, I could throw in some mixes too... and what the heck, might as well do a few LavOrp eggs...

I hope I can get fertility up soon, no promises, but at lease I am close enough for shipped eggs
how many bators u have

I just signed up for this forum today, although I've been lurking around here for awhile just getting information. I am very new to this. I just got my incubator, and it is all set up - perfect temps and humidity. We are just waiting for our eggs to arrive! We are starting out with 12 Ancona Duck eggs. So excited, I can't wait for them to arrive. I just hope they survive the shipping without scrambling.

Welcome to the thread and BYC!!! ancona are awesome! and a great duck to incubate, my favorite to candle!!!!!

I sold ours but at the bottom of this article I put some videos and a bunch of pictures too!

Duckling Care​

Girls are almost over their molt. Fed all of them a 1.5 kilo can of wet dog food today and started a new batch of fermented feed (had to disinfect the whole bucket because the old food was beginning to smell off). Coop building resumes in doubletime tomorrow, in-laws come home this weekend and I want it built and the old POS coop gone before they get back!

you got to move it move it move it move it

I decided to let the mom hen have the 3 eggs that are due on Sat, and I will finish my incubation hatch in incubator, the rest are due tomorrow. It is a bit of back and forth, but it is so cold out, I only trust her with 3 at this point.

Why do you feed them dog food ?
