Pics of new duck coop. A bit redneck, but it works for now, since they were stinking up the house!

Yes, the run is trashed, I have a few projects going on in there.

Yes they do have the long tail feathers. The ringneck and the golden are in a completely different family the goldens are in the rugged pheasant family which the males have a flap of feathers they put over their face when displaying for females.

But I wasn't incubating hatching - doesn't that disqualify me?

oh crap yes, only from that one!

Quote: I do 55% and keep eye on air cells, the trick is that in the last 4 days of incubation they tend to all of a sudden drop a lot of weight, so you have to be careful you keep a closer eye on them and candle more often from day 10 to 18

Just broke my two broodies. Not incubating on purpose - no more room for chickens!!! Too many, too many, too many!!!! (I have culling to do this weekend...)

Don't say your not incubating around here it will end in a full bator.

Quote: Me, too - I will enjoy the chickens I have more when I have a number that's easier for me to care for (as I don't sell birds or chicks).

Ant farm, I don't think chicken math will do anything except bite your ankles if you get it behind you!

OMG, I'm never going to make it through the year with you enablers...

In all seriousness, it's not that hard to resist when I remember what a pain it is to have pans of fresh ice water out in the chicken runs every day when it's over 100F - and multiply it by the number of chickens I have now (vs. ONLY THREE last summer). I'd need to buy a whole 'nother freezer and make ice around the clock!!!!!

(Here's a photo of dearly departed Paula from last summer, keeping her feetsies cool in a pan of ice water... Yes, that's a Pyrex baking pan.
