June Hatch a Long

Oh and the chipmunk has made it back to the woods. My phone froze or I would have gotten a great video, Hubby in underwear chasing munk, fire tool in one hand, firewood in the other, beagle dog screaming at the top of its lungs. I was atop one of the dining room chairs. It bounced around the great room like a pinball, I opened the sliding door and out it went to freedom. Dont you know this Munk had a great story to tell its Munk friends!!!!

I have been sitting here with tears STREAMING down my face, laughing so hard I can't breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well, I was not expecting to get in on the June hatching thread, as I was sure I was done incubating for the season..... Then my brother called to tell me he had a duck that was on a nest get killed, so I drove and got 12 eggs, with no idea when she had started setting. that was a couple weeks ago. I have never done ducks before, do I just threw them in and hoped for the best. Wouldn't you know it the twelfth one hatched a bit ago:weee They are cute little buggers, but good grief for slobs!

Okeydokey, just set the following ... 7 Cream Legbars, 10 BLRW, 15 Barred Cochin, 9 FBCM, 8 Barnevelder, and 2 Turkens. Hatch Date is June 25th. 13 of these eggs have detached air cells. I decided to put the detached air cell eggs in cartons for the first week and hand turn the rest of them. After the first week I will put them all in an auto turner.

Well, thanks to BYC member Stevens21, I picked up two buddies for my lonely Silver Campine chick yesterday. Stevens21 found them on Crags list for me. A local farm was selling them. They had ordered 300 barred rocks to sell in Lucusville Ohio but they still had 280. They were not far from my house. I grabbed the two darkest ones that I could find, hoping that they are female. I brought them home and put them in with the little Campine chick. While I was dipping their beaks in the water, she started to attack them. She continually pecked their eyes and combs even though she is half their size!

I guess she was just trying to show them who was boss because by the end of the night she calmed down and they are getting along great.



Thank you for everyone's help in finding chicks!
