So tiny! Way too cute! I watched some zebra finches sit on eggs at the pet store but, I never got see the size of the eggs she was on. Thanks for sharing.

Update on the eggs I set..... There still just eggs!

OMG you had your hands full today. Sorry on the loss of your duckling.

Maybe the pups will learn easily.... catching them is always the hardest since pups assume that means playtime. DD has a hard time catching her 6 month old boxer because he thinks her chasing and yelling means play!



ETA: Of course I just sit and watch and

Aha! Found you! Can't miss another hatch a long

I alread set a bunch that are due to hatch on the 17th including turkey eggs saved from a racoon raid and several Iowa Blue eggs from my flock that was killed by dogs a few weks back. So far I have only removed 2 clear chicken eggs and 1 turkey.

I also have shipped eggs coming next week (shhh! haven't told DH yet

)

Gotta go take some more pictures now...

Laree,
Just had to post something because everytime I see you rpost come up, I laugh out loud.
DH just looks at me out of the corner of his eye.he already knows I am a little "out to lunch"
when it comes to chickens.............
OK, I have about 36 in one inc due the third week of May
and 12 semera's in the other due May 9th...................
Adn I am talking , conjoling, my hens every morning asking
'don't you remember how much fun it was to go Broody last year".
So far, they are turning a deaf ear............
Good Luck all and Have fun..............

This is starting to get comical. 20% of my of-age flock is either sitting on eggs or mothering chicks from eggs they sat on.

Thank goodness for my hatchery layers (RIR, sex links, EEs and white leghorns) that continue to lay eggs and aren't puffing up, growing and pecking at me.

My Buff Orph is the latest offender, I thought I had broken her, but I was sorely mistaken. So now I've put 3 eggs under her. Of course.

I'm really tired today and my wonderful boyfriend just asked if I'd like to go to bed early and he'll do the nightly lock down procedure complete with chicken count.


I do not want him going out in the coop and seeing my shameful inability to not hatch something.

Now I know I have a problem.
