@casportpony y and everyone else
I was vacuuming and came in to this lol

Awwwwwww

Hey guys, I got rid of the majority of my cockerels today and plan to move all my birds around after they free range tomorrow since during the week they don't get much time out.
I will move everyone after they roost. I will need to keep them in at least a week, but how long before I can open all three coops at the same time again and have them go back to the correct new coop/group?
@ChickenCanoe

When they'll go back to the correct coop is a crap shoot. A week will work for some, others might keep going back to where they were.

Any of yall watching the olympics? I was trying to watch eventing live, but no dice.

Nope

The broodies were trying to get the babies outside, but the lead drake is being a pain. The three Muscovey drakes are coming of age, and the Pekin feels like he needs to be in control of everything.

Awwwwww. Hope the drake straightens out, you can eat duck if he doesn't.

Went and picked up the SLW eggs today, asked him to bring me 4-6 eggs, he brought me a dozen. (Adding to my chicken math problem.)

I successfully put the eggs under my broody girl and I think I got all of the other eggs out from under her, and I didn't even get pecked!

If she rolls some out of the nest should I put them back under her or assume they are bad?

Good luck!

For those that like cucumbers these are very easy to grow have great flavor and prolific.




Sikkim cucumber

Interesting, never heard of them.

Hi everyone!!

Heatherfeather - good luck with your broodys!!

I had eggs in my brinsea - I never marked down when I set them. I thought they were due about 10 days ago. I candled them and they weren't ready. I was staying at a friends house the last 3 days - when I got home last night I found one dry and fluffy baby in the turning Brinsea. I set up a lock down bator last week and it was still turned on, so I threw that chick and all the other eggs that were set at the same time over to lock down. I had 2 more hatch about 2 hours ago, but the rest look like they are duds. I'll candle them tonight - just to check.

Ooops!!!

I've forgotten hatch dates too.

Good morning! I am up early again on a weekend. Hope you are all well and flocks, goats,horses,children and families are well.

Going to move the quail to the brooder in the coop today. JG have a week to incubate, not candled, no hands on approach worked last round so I am sticking with it.

My EE roo sounds different, we think he took a spur to his throat but have yet to grab him to check. He and the bantam rooster have been having mini fights last two days. May be time to remove spurs from the bantam. Fester gets to keep his, he is the protector of the bunch.

Good morning!

Morning peeps.
J.D. is getting so big. Little guy will follow me all over the house.

Hi Phil! Cute duckling.

בוקר טוב

Good Morning Benny!

Quote: Lost internet yesterday morning. Back at the house for a bit with real internet. The broody has a mutt chick, and thankful just the one. The broody on the hay is Icelandic with Icelandic eggs.

Good luck with the 6 from the BCM broody.

Hi Sally!

Good morning everyone!

 

[DwayneNLiz]

Well, I really wasn't planning on having any chicks, but this is my first broody so I had to let her try!
That math problem where I was going to have 4 hens max!

4 hens you're right that is a problem

I just closed escrow on the place yesterday, so I'm hoping to file the paperwork for the overlay on Monday!!!   I have someone helping me get signatures on a petition to help support my application.  I'm getting ready to go talk to the neighbors I know, and see what their thoughts are.  I'll know more in about 3 weeks.

Thanks for checking!

Do you think i should zip it up in a plastic bag or would that damage a potential chick from not getting humidity?

no!! Horrible idea, as mc said it needs oxygen

Morning peeps.
