Thank you! your on the list, not sure where you went, thought you were on it!!

why?

idk,why

 

[LocalYokel]

I've never had prune juice. Sounds like I'd love it! e
Nope! We're the same.

e

Still the same....

 

[ChickenCanoe]

I always have prunes, and love the syrup ones!! wish I could eat more and more but thats not good

All things in moderation is a good slogan but especially applies to prunes.
Worse yet, too much cayenne, habanero or ghost peppers - followed by too many prunes.

I was surprised to see how closely confined those chickens at the hatchery were.

J&TRanch 1/12/16 12 self blue Cochin bantams (shipped) day 3 (going to candle today to see how many are viable).... And 18 eggs arriving in the mail tomorrow @J&Tranch My shipped self blue bantam Cochins are doing good. I had to throw out a stinker and a seeper

So out of those 10 remaining, 7 are developing nicely

They're on day 7. I ended up receiving 16 shipped from GA, they looked good considering the single digit temps- only 3 saddles and none cracked. They're on day 3 today, will candle Wednesday maybe.
Saris My hatch is done 6 DIS 24 chicks outonly had to help one out of the shell when it got stuck zipping. Hooray!
TJ Believe it or not, there are two developing from this mess! I had to wash them in hot water to get all the slime off and they have saddle cells, but I'm giving them the best chance I can. Probably won't ever turn them. So, the new batch was packed a bit better and nothing was broken, but out of 8 eggs, 4 are saddle cells and 4 are completely rolling. Set them all anyways
Casportsponyday 34 for the Muscovy eggs and it looks like I have one external pip, two internals. One of the eggs have a huge "bruise" at the bottom of the shell, so I doubt it's still alive.
LocalYokel akak JACK LOKO Bator is cleaned and waiting fer eggs
Canadachickens Barnyard mix yeilded 8 fluffy butts out of 13 day 11 candle of silkies - 4 viable, 10 duds, 2 blood rings

Hawk12 have 7 blue/gold partridge brahma chicks in the incubator on day 15. Candled last night and things look pretty good. Air cells might be a little small. I lost 5 from this hatch due to a temp spike on day 3

I emailed the gal I bought them from to let her know my progress and she sent me a dozen more for the cost of shipping. That was very sweet of her to do knowing it wasn't her fault or even the PO but my faulty incubator. I'll be setting those eggs tomorrowDay 15, 7 eggs.

Hey all. This weeks hatch. 17 out of 18. Had to help one out. Normally dont do that but was almost zipped out. If it makes it it makes it. 

Congrats!

[campingshaws]

How do y'all mark your chicks to keep them separate? I've got a pair of svart honas, then 7 chicks from a different breeder. And I'm planning a hatch. I need to make sure the babies don't get mixed up.

I tried the rainbow loom bands last year, but they fell off in the brooder. That was a mess. :/

 

[casportpony]

@chicken hawk 33, if you decide to hatch ducklings or goslings will you sell them as hatchlings or will you raise them?

-Kathy

y

Because you have mentioned that money is tight, so I was wondering if you had considered what it was going to cost to feed so many ducklings or goslings if you decide to keep them.
