widdle cutie!!
mellonsWhat is everybody's favorite treat besides mealworms for your chickens?
sweet!alright! Broody hatch is done, hen isn't interested in the remaining two eggs, I candled And I can't see much, But I didn't see any movement so They are going to be thrown out tomorrow if there isn't anything interesting. I PROMISE I will post pics soon, Like tomorrow if I have the time. The chicks went outside for the first time today, it was pretty funny! I have some pics of mom stretching out and sunbathing with the babies about to jump onto her! I ended up with a total of 5 chicks, I think I am keeping two, or maybe three, Deff. keeping the third one until november. Two are going to a new home as soon as they are old enough to leave mom!

Her Amercauna has separated herself from the flock, finding a shady spot and is sleeping during the day. She soaked her and checked her vent but doesn't feel anything. Her crop seems fine but now she won't lay down and is standing funny... Any thoughts?

MORNING ALL, happy Saturday!!
WHATS THE WEATHER IN YER
NECK OF THE WOODS?
Good Morning Sally!
It's very cold here for this time of year.
the leaves are pushing out pretty good finally here! I see some sun out there!
morning whites, let the dehumidifier do its job a bitTemps holding fine on my eggs set last Sunday, but I can't get the humidity down; still running mid-high 40's.At first it was running low, so I put in a folded paper towel with a bit of water in it. That didn't help, so substituted a couple Rx bottles; not a lot of help. I added a couple or three 3cc syringes of water to the troughs; humidity shot up into the mid-50's.
Water's evaporated in the troughs, Rx bottles have been removed, a small bowl of rice added, and a de-humidifier, that we normally use in the summer in the basement, has been set up right next to the bator; current RH 40%.
Other than relocating the 'bator to the spare bedroom upstairs, which is an option, I'm fresh out of idea. Problem is, I haven't a clue if the humidity is any lower there, and no known means of finding out other than pulling one of the gauges out of the 'bator.
I can't wait to see what AC's look like tomorrow!
Any hints out there?
