Good, then that is the next gumbo that we will try. Thanks.

Yummy! What time is dinner? 

I'll let you know.

In about 7 days you can take a very bright flashlight and bring the egg(s) into a very dark room and shine the light on the egg. You want to look for some "spider veining".
This video may help you. http://chat.allotment.org.uk/index....098d3dc44cd79&topic=73884.msg841134#msg841134

Would you really candle an egg that is under a broody hen ?

 

[Celie]

Completely agree. Despite the complete lack of plucking required....I could not have something running around here that looked like that.

The poor chicken in this picture looks sunburnt or is it just the picture ?

Good morning Lay-ers.

Good, then that is the next gumbo that we will try. Thanks.

No, that is how they look. With most breeds, exposed skin will turn red: I know naked neck roosters are like this. If you think this one was ugly, go check out the black one born in a research flock in Israel.

When I saw the first photo of a featherless chicken, it was a black one like the one in the link below.

If I catch her off that nest, I would!

Good Morning La-yers!! My granddaughter and I are so excited. We are going to Carencro today to see Rusty (Julie wrote about him on the forum) to get two bunnies. The cage is ready and in the hatchback. We'll post fotos. Thanks Julie and Celie and Terri for your encouragement and info.

Have fun! Gonna work on breeding coops this weekend. Will be at the swap tomorrow to look around and maybe sell some chicks

Morning all!

I've had a slow start this morning...got the sinus crud. Ugh...

I did manage to get 38 eggs into the incubator yesterday and have a second incubator coming that should be here today. More eggs going into it on Monday or Tuesday. I just don't know why incubating chicks is so darn addicting! I will need to do some chick selling in a few weeks or else I will be overrun! Guess I need to get a post on bookoo or something.

I will painting our newest "grow out" coop today and helping DH finish building the new feed shed. The neighbors across the street from me don't bother to feed their horse, so it jumps the fence and takes off through the neighborhood in search of food. He's always roamed here for the grasses, but has now discovered where the chicken grains are. He has pinned me into one of our coops before standing with his head against the coop door so I couldn't open it to get out hoping I would give him feed. Last night I was in the brooder shop feeding and watering those 60 something chicks in there and here he came! I had a new bag of chick starter sitting outside the door, turned around from feeding chicks, and he had snuck up and had his big head in my new feed bag! Refused to leave. I give him veggies when I have extras. I feel sorry for the big brute. I'm at a point where I think he should belong to us! It took a year before he would get close enough and let me pet him. He's extremely unsure of people, as he is mistreated by his owners, but out here in the sticks animal control/sheriff's dept. won't do a thing about it.

Poor horse. At least I have a free lawnmower for the pasture.

Hope everyone has a good day!

That poor bird and only 1 leg! I hear silkies are black skinned like that under their feathers. I saw a cooking show where they were cooking silky chickens, but they did not look very appetizing to me!

If I catch her off that nest, I would!

Poor horse! My brother's Black Angus and Beefmaster bull, still remembers me from when he was a calf and will run over to me to get scratched behind his ears! Everyone else is rather afraid of him!
