INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Jessimom]

Wouldn't it be possible,especially with the heat, that the worms found the poo and didnt actually come out of the chicks with the poo, especially if you've not seen any other signs of worms on your chicks? Were they maggots? Flies could have laid eggs in that poo.

All my experiences with maggots have been in trash cans or compost bins. Nasty pile of wriggling short fat white bugs. These were long skinny worms. Since it was an upper level shelf in a building, that has a concrete floor - I find it unlikely that they crawled there.

I just didn't want to deal with them on Monday - so now they have had time to hatch if they are fly larvae or possibly die off - but I'll tackle it this Saturday and see what I can find.

We once adopted a cat that I named Fugly; nicest cat we ever had.

I had a dog named Fugly!

Jazzy is growin up......


She's the 2nd sweetest chick I've ever raised!

She is so pretty!!!!!

What a gang lol

Sally - you make me want goats!!!!! These are adorable!!!

@kwhites634 I am sorry I disappeared. I was going to walk outof the cave to where I could get service to reply as soon as I got my trailer into the dock. Unfortunately, I dropped a drive shaft while backing to get around and in so I was busy helping other drivers around me and calling dispatch and the shop.
Anyway no THAT kick did not make my day either. Especially when it was avoidable it one of the group members was not prone to panic. I dropped something out of my saddle bags onto a ground hornets nest that I did not notice when I got off to tie the horse up for a break. I got the horse and myself away, but that day in the Mark Twain National Forest I was riding someone else's horse. She can over all upset and took his lead. She wanted me to check his belly as he was being stung. I moved a bit away since he waa still flailing some,and bent to check. I was ten feet away,but she was not thinking and decided to look. I realized what was about to happen ,but could not get away in time as she decided to look at the other side without thinking taking his head with her. You can guess the rest. His butt came my way along with the next cow kick. I lost my top two front teeth and the bone across the front broke. It was a long ride out of the forest, bit thank God I live in a time where implants exist.
I will be back later I have to go back in the cave.
Have a great day.

OUCH!! I'm glad that you only lost a couple of teeth - that could have been so much worse!! I'm glad you are ok, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!



Thanks for the Rats photo Benny! I took a relatively unwilling little girl to pick out 2 new pairs of glasses. I rewarded her by letting her pick out a small toy - what did she choose????? - a VERY realistic,squishy rubber RAT. She left it on a couch in the living room - the next morning I came out, half asleep and saw it, and it didn't look like a toy......

We went to our first 4-H meeting on Tuesday. It was interesting. It is a VERY small group, less than 30 members. The ONE person we wanted to talk to was not there. There was a sign up sheet that said "Poultry". We signed up - I'm waiting to hear from them. The only only animal groups that were offered there, were Lamb to market and Guinea Pig raising. I signed Jess up for 3 - Arts & Crafts, Cooking and Poultry. Our local fair just ended this past weekend. So, the meeting on Tuesday was the first meeting of their "new Year". They took either first or second place in most of their entries this year. It seems to be a good group of people.

I had a bunch of blue and green eggs from my chickens in the Brinsea. I think they are due any day, so I locked them down yesterday. Candling, I saw 2 that had drawn down. I'm thinking they should start hatching tomorrow. These will be the LAST eggs for quite awhile. I now have no more adult roosters, and I"m getting rid of all the babies as soon as they crow.

Happy Hatching everyone!

No. I got my chickens first. I regretted it, 'specially since I kept them in my room.   I already had a coop for the ducks before I got them, but that was just a leftover coop from the second batch of chicks - I had to move them out but couldn't put 'em with the big ones.

So then kick the ducks out and put goats there.

You are stuffing goats for dinner? Count me in!

Are you kidding me? The ducks would hate me. Actually, they would rather stay outside, but that's beside the point. The coop's too small for goats, anyways. If I get goats, I would have to build a place for them, which wouldn't be too hard, but ...

and you are already convincing yourself lol

I can't have any more animals! You know that if I build a shelter that will fit goats, goats will go in. I'm still going to do some research.

Pallet shelters don't look too hard to build.

Shalom Kathy! You should buy this!

It would solved the pseudo rat problem!
