Cute!

Well, with the rain stopped but the ground soaked as soon as they finished their grain four goats found places on their new toy to lay off the ground and the fifth was on my turned over two hundred gallon tank. That's everyone in that pen with their feet off the 'icky' wet ground. Goats

None sick that I can tell
Free choice oyster shell
Could excess heat over an extended period like we've been having have that kind of effect on the shell itself? That wouldn't explain a pip-size hole dead center of the large end, though....unless....you 'spose I've created a strain of chickens that lay eggs that take only 12 hours or less, fertilization to hatch, and always pip in exactly the right spot?
Hope to see a picture if there is another.
Sometimes a rough shell, especially if the roughness is on one end can be from dehydration. I've seen it before.
I occasionally get an egg with a hold like that. I think it's just a shell failure and the inner membrane isn't punctured. If I get them shortly after they were laid, I use them. Even if for nothing but hard boiling and feeding back to them.

Fifteen hours and five minutes later I am finally done. It is days like this that I hate my job, and wonder what it would be like to get off after eight or ten hours and have a life. Whatever that is. Time to go home to chores

Thanks for letting me vent. I hope you guys are having a great Friday night.
Go ahead and


Anyone want to make some breed guesses for me? The girl who gave me the banty cochin eggs got a few new birds. They look like something I should know... I'm not curious enough to post in the breeds forums.

Swedish Flower hens?

Is this a boy cat or a girl cat
It is a boy cat or a girl cat.

its just a kitten
They still have parts.

which is the right end
The other end. Sex Education 101.

Just got back from Walmart got a few light bulbs the two on the right they don't give off very much heat at all and they are plastic I didn't know they made plastic light bulbs. And we got back and the people are at camp again so I had to walk over and put the pad lock back on the coop I don't trust those people. We lock the cars and the campers everytime they come. But anyways I hope the tote fits in the box bator so I can use it as my hatching tray.
...
The bulbs can be plastic because they are LED. Light Emitting Diodes use very little wattage. Hence no heat generated. The 2 you have put out an equivalent light to a 40 watt incandescent but only use 5 watts of energy.
The wattage used is proportional to the heat generated.
The other lamp is 30 watt so also not a great deal of heat but more than the others.
What are you using the lamps for?
Are they to heat a brooder or for the hatcher?

You'll need to drill a bunch of holes in the tote so they can breathe.
A cheaper and better alternative would be to use a large plastic strawberry or other produce container. Free for the price of the produce and they are surrounded with breathing holes.


No,i ment chickens I have a full blooded black serama rooster that I will be trying to breed to a full blooded frizzle hen that's black with golden brown feathers around her neck.
You'll have very small frizzled barnyard mix chickens. In a word, mutts.
A frizzle can't be full blooded because frizzle is a gene, not a breed. It also can only have one parent with the frizzle gene. So one parent was a frizzled something and the other parent was something else.
