Welcome to all the new folks.

Lovely day today! I watched the sun rise on my way to work this morning.

I brought baby bunnies in with me today. I love being able to bring my farm into my classrooms. Farming and biology go so beautifully together.

I'm new to this thread, but I've been hanging around BYC for a while...I live in Greensboro. It's surprising to see how many people here are from NC!

I'm just a bit south of you in Bennett. I dare you to find it on a map...

Starting to feel like everyone "close" to me is about at least an hour away.

and FYI in case you are wondering - all the smileys are an insistence of my 4 year old who reads over my shoulder the second I get anywhere near the computer. If it were up to him I'd type nothing but smileys. lol

Good day all!!!

Getting a greenhouse cleaned out for fall inventory and over wintering

Plus I have over 30 Spitzhaubens in brooders and a heated coop with close to 30 more hatching!

Got to get caught up as hockey season is about to start! Come see me in action at a Fireantz Hockey game..


See you on the ice!

We had a new experience this weekend. One of our buff ducks was acting sluggish and waddling like she had an injury to her leg. So as per our normal procedure for leg pains we brought her in and put her in a warm bath. An hour later when I checked on her and found 2 eggs in the tub. Apparently she was egg bound, glad the warm water did the trick cause I had no idea.

Hopefully that was all that was stuck. I had a young golden lakenvelder hen that was egg bound. By the time she showed any sings of this (she was a sporadic layer) she was really bad off. I did the soaking but shortly into it she died. Being that she was of a harder breed to find, I cut her open to try and save the egg. That's when I found out that she had 11 soft shelled eggs in her. So I would suggest you feel around really good on the duck and maybe soak her some more just to make sure. As my hen never showed any sings till that last day. Good luck

Thanks Guys
ramirez that is exactly what I did. She has laid like normal the last few days. Both were soft shelled. Are they typically soft shelled when they get bound?
