From everything I've heard, it is not a good idea to use ducks for hatching chicken eggs... chickens for duck eggs, ok, but not the other way around... maybe someone else knows different?? But I think ducks get the eggs too wet for chickens to do well...

thank you.

Oh, what the heck... I ain't skeered!

Welcome, M'Lady! <bows>

really I couldn't tell.

But if it gets out of hand, I will ban all bowing, cause flyin ponys and dragons just aint in the same tale.
@Ur-ur-ur-urrr

NOOOO
*Bows* thankey, M'lord!

LEARN To how Girly curtsy girly! @Bubbles12345

you finally said it!!!!!

Yep took me forever to catch up as well.

@fire370 I waited and waited and watched for you to catch up, went to bed

On another note, one of our potential breeding males (GSD) had his Penn-HIP X-rays done today and probably the best set of hips I've seen. (Well except for my wife's!) He'll definitely grade excellent in OFA.

Awesome news!!! and chuckles on the wife's hips

I candled a couple of different sets. This first one is going into lock down tomorrow night. Air cells looking good like this on all of them.




The black dots are swimming around, very active.

Good luck @Cynthia12 so those were days 17 candles and day 5 to add to our candle pics?

Just candled! On day 6, all 14 look good, I have them numbered, and im not worried about any of them right now! So far, so good!

Awesome candle pics!! I suggest putting some melted wax on that or clear nail polish because that shell will be drying out a bit and keep a close eye on it. @RoxysAnimals

I feel as if I am but a serf at your feet, M'Lord. Goodnight!

NOT ANOTHER! at least you didnt bow or run for his fiddle!

Hey anyone seen my Dragons?

Thats my line!!!

I have a chick. My first Bielefelder girl chick! Hopefully I'll get a few more. And a boy too.

YAY!!!! update update!!! @lazyacre

Skipping ahead to say we have a blonde chick!

Time of birth: 9:12 pm! lol

The other pips:




Red circle was the first, I sent that pic to hubby to show him. Second pip is #3. Pip #2 is the blonde chick. There might be another pip, but its along one of my sharpie marks so I can't tell if it is part of the sharpie, a pencil mark, or a crack.

And Blondie is crying up a storm in that bator...

Okay so here's the update on Grandpa and Molly...
I spoke to my Mom who was with Grandpa today and she says that Grandpa loves it so far but seems anxious about Mom and Grandma leaving. Will keep you all updated on that. Thank you for your continued prayers. Also tomorrow they're having a big Christmas party so we're going over and spending time there with him for that, so I'll be able to give you some of my own insights since I tend to read Grandpa better than anyone except maybe my Mom.

Now as far as Molly goes... Yes she has Lyme disease. The vet thinks we caught it really quick which is great but I'm still reserved about hoping for a great outcome since my Grandma's(same Grandma) sheltie had it and it crippled her for life. In the end it even changed her personality as well we believe, but that could have been the cancer if it had metastasized to her brain. The results spot on the test was much much lighter than the control, and considering the tick was only found maybe three weeks ago we are lucky to have gotten it early.

*****Note: For anyone with dogs that could be exposed to Lyme's disease Molly was on flea and tick meds, they're not 100% effective. Also when I discovered the tick she had a small circular raised area around it that looked a bit like a bullseye, which I assumed was just inflammation from where the ticks legs were, I now know I was wrong it was probably a Lyme's disease rash also called a tick rash you can Google it. They're supposed to be rare in dogs, but Molly had it and I didn't know what it was as it is prevalent only in people and I'm kicking myself now. If you find a tick and see something like I've described or like the pictures show please ask your vet what they think. We don't live near a wooded area or long grass like my Grandma's dog was.

I'm just grateful Molly is now being treated with antibiotics and pain meds. Thankfully other than being in pain and having a slightly elevated temp she is a trooper and in great spirits. Although she will not attempt to go up stairs. We even went to Arby's with her(drive through of course) and when I jokingly asked for a dog treat they gave me a little container of roast beef just for her. She's gunna be nice and share with her sissy, Bella, though. I don't know if that's a common practice for Arby's, but I just have to tell people because I think that was great, so did Molly. Again thank you all very much for your continued prayers for both Molly and Grandpa.

Thank goodness everything is under control!! I didnt know Arbys did either! Keeping you in our prayers sweetie!! @chickendreams24 keep updating us on them please!!!

First to pip, second to hatch: second baby is dark!

Everyone is silent. GOOD MORNING ALL
