I been a swapping trading fool today, met up with a local member and wound up on round 2!!! Wonderful meeting jsummers and family! My beautiful new additions are a breeding pair of pekins and I am the proud owner of 2 oberhasli goats now

I got my doe!!!

Of course, my sweet lil doe jumped the fence, we all knew she would, so I put her in my 6 ft dog run til morning. I will be working on fences tomorrow, but tonite I can peek out the door at her

She is very afraid of my lil pug Sadie, so we have some work ahead of us on that. Will post pics tomorrow...

this lil guy is in the happy face icon across the top of the box you type comments in. Popup blockers may stop the box from opening, so you may have to allow them. Click the happy face it pops up a box, he is on the 3rd row, 4th icon. I use them cause I hate typing ROFL! just kidding, they are fun to use. Thanks for asking, I was shy to ask questions when I started on byc, i didn't want to pester anyone. Now I ask any question popping in my head

ok, i am freaking out!!! day 21 for my chicken eggs in the incubator, i guess technically it isday 21 til this evening but i haven't heard a peep nor do i see a pip in the veiwing plates!! this is my 4th hatch this year and the 8th hatch ihave done in the last two years. eggs were candled on the 14th day and everything looked good. i know i am over re acting and i have told other to be patient but i and FREAKING out. usually my incubator runs a little warm and i have chicks start hatching on the 20th. my temp was a little loswer than usual, 99.5 at the top of the eggs, when i try to keep it 102 since mine is a still air but this has really got me worried.


ok now that i have typed in a frenzy, i can see my panic and deal with it. i'll keep everyone one posted.

question have any of you ever had a whole incbator of eggs not hatch?? especially when i was pretty sure i had this all down pat, i was thinking of myself as a semi pro!

Are these shipped eggs? I've been having horrible luck with them this year. I'm getting fully developed chicks that die inside the shell. They never internally pip. From reading the forums,I'm not the only one with this issue this year. With local eggs I typically have good matches. What is your humidity during incubating and lockdown?

Here ya go:


The 'ah-ah-ah' is the pre-egg-song, and the 'bock-bock-bu-GAWK!' is what is commonly called the egg song.

And then she crows a couple times, but Biddy-bird is weird like that.

ETA: She starts into the egg song about a minute into the video.

Very cool. We're we supposed to laugh? Not sure if it is polite to do that, but we did laugh out loud. This is before she laid the egg? Too entertaining! Love the leg lift at the end and the toe pointing!! Can't wait to hear our girls songs!!

Some pictures of them out of the run. They like climbing on the spare straw:



Here are some pics from this AM. Really nice chilly 41* sunshiney morning. Happy Mother's Day, everyone:



I planted a variety of sunflowers on the outside of the, around the end away from the coop. Even some 'heritage' sunflowers, wonder how they will look.
