You guys should check out Joey's terrific coup build. He put a video clip on the Heritage RIR thread. If I could afford the materials I would love to do something like that and add a six or eight foot goat room with a stall and station.
13 hours and forty minutes later I am done with work. Now shopping and then chores. Have a great evening.

Go for it! You ain't getting out of this life with anything, so you might as well enjoy it while you can.

Just popping in for a minute...

I said I would get a few pictures....

Here is a somewhat odd hatch from a few weeks ago. I had traded some Serama eggs with somebody at a show, so my incubator was turned off for only about two days. So...out of those 10 eggs, three very cute black mottled chicks hatched. The others were not fertile. And of course, two eggs from some very small silkied seramas of mine somehow found their way into the bator. Those two hatched and are very tiny. And...a few days before these chicks hatched, I had a mother call duck hatch some babies but there were still two viable eggs in her nest. So...I put them in the incubator. One of these was obviously not a duck egg. A Silkie hen snuck one into the nest. The other looked like a duck egg. Same shape, size and greenish color. Well these two babies hatched the same day as the Serama chicks, but were both chickens! No duckling. The only possibility is an old Ameraucana hen that hardly ever lays an egg, and her mate who is a white d'Uccle roo.
Here is a picture of the silkie chick, the Am/Uccle and the two tiny silkied Serama chicks. All the same age and still in the same pen together.

I was worried about my "little lonely" chick. Boy did he shock me! I thought he'd get pecked at and pushed around. Turns out he is quite the fighter! He went up to the slightly older chicks, looked then in the eye, and pecked at them till they backed off! Ohmygosh it was so funny! They have accepted him now it looks like...no fuss. I will say that you could tell how happy he was when I set him in the brooder box. If a chick could smile, he was doing it!
