Em, I am dissapointed in you where is the baby Turkey?

those babies are precious... you have us all

here and on the duck thread...

thanks everyone for kind words, as of this morning she is still here but barely, thank goodness she doesn't appear to be in pain, because my dh is out of town, and I can't do it..

the chicks are doing great..


also wanted to say great to meet you SC.

I'm saying a little prayer for your girl ML...

Let's try and have happy thoughts today, I have my first pip on my first Ameraucana this morning. I am very excited to see what they come out looking like. They are from really pretty blue/green eggs. The rooster is silver and the hens are lavender.

DD is very excited to grow some out and have colored eggs (she's my little egg collector).

These were shipped eggs, 8 total and all 8 were vital at lockdown, so lets see how many make it.

ps- no one is due till tomorrow.

My week old babies are doing great, very calm and quite for the most part. Unusual for my brooders

. There are 3 English lavender splits (going to rehome them if anyone is interested?) and two F1 'bantam" lavender orpingtons.

Goodmorning all

Em.... those ducklings are the cutest things. Got my first 2 runner eggs yesterday and 1 today.

I have seen the big silver boy breeding.

He is the drake I am keeping also a white & silver one.

ML...

Sorry !

I have more quail hatching, yesterday & 1 zipping now. And eggs going into lockdown today, should have gone down last night

I will get them in as soon as I'm of the computer.



HT.... I saw there is a show in Dec. in Smithfield. Do you travel that far????? Good Luck on those Ams

I put a bid on a BYC auction for White & BBs AMs. The seller had to cancel. He lost 45/52 of his bird yesterday from Buffalo gnats

I never heard of it. He said they enter the bird trough the nostrils and get in their airway and kill them. He is waiting on the states reports. SO SO Sad.

He does have 14 chicks he hatched last week in the house and 40 something egg in the bator. But still..... I could NOT imagine going outside to find almost my whole flock dead.

CRAZy!!!!!

We didn't go last year and heard it was a good show! It just depends on how we are doing this fall and who all I am showing if we will make the drive or not??
