@ChickenCanoe, I don't hate you for saying that, and I understand... The three made it out on their own, but the other five will probably die. Got one out and it looks like a perfect candidate for a yolk sac infection, and I think at least two of the others haven't absorbed their yolks. Truthfully, it would be easier to cull them, but for some reason I have a hard time doing it.

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.

Small zip ties works the best.
 
@ChickenCanoe, do you happen to know how much a duck eatseach day? Is it 5-10% of it's body weight?

Hi all, hope everyone is having a good day.

@Sally Sunshine my update; 1 silkie out, 1 malpos, 2 taking their sweet time. Set 12 more Saturday.

Thinking about taking my lg still air out of the mix and drop a fan in it.

Bunsen the gold laced orp seems to be uninterested in mating. Hopefully the warmer weather this week will encourage him to get busy.
 
I apprenticed for James Hubbell when I was 15 learning from the glass master there at the time. It's been a great job. Always worked the days a week, give our take depending on deadlines. That way I had time for my horse and animal jobs as well.
Now that James is slowing down with the buildings, I spend part of the time teaching architect students glass work. The students are usually from university of Cincinnati.
