Yup, that's #13! He was my 1st pip at 10am this morning...he/she sure is stubborn though. I had to reopen the membrane so he/she didn't suffocate!!

"Lucky" # 13 ?!

Haha, Hubby posted picture on FB of a positive pregnancy test. I got phone calls all day. He thinks it's soooo funny.

WOW, that has to be one of the best pranks I've heard about! Yikes!

I think my silkies are a little confused on what type of bird they are. They duck down and run around the brooder like road runners. Funny to watch the goofy looking things do it. Only down side is they scare the other birds I'm trying to hand feed. I think the one silkie hates me won't come by me at all only had it eat out of hand one time, the same with my wife's bantam.

I am thrilled about the bargain I got today. reading of you guys chatting about bargain chicks at TS..... The other day i was at TS buying supplies....They had Dark Brahmas in one of the tubs for $1.99. I really love those birds, i have other Brahmas but darks are my favorite. I have had the bators running for months now and have hatched all that i put in except the expensive Dark Crahma eggs bought from BYC auction as well as Ebay. Don't know why but have had very little success with them hatching. Back to my bargain.......while i was there the other day i mentioned to the sales guy that if they marked them down to move them out he should call me and I left my name and #..... My inspiration to do this was the conversations that I have read on this thread about marked down chicks at TS. Today i got a call, they were marked them down to $.75, he said there was about two doz. there, so i said i was on my way. I got there to find that they were down to 14, there was a young family there who said i was lucky because they were going to buy some but the guy was holding them for me.... I asked how many they wanted, only two they said, i said your welcome to buy two and i will take the rest, so I got 12 nice healthy chicks for $9.00..... Dark Brahmas look like little chipmunks scurrying around. I AM HAPPY

I am sorry about your sick chick . You did what you could ..to help ..& you relieved her of her pain .

Some chickens Are smarter than others ...Expect some to be less tame . & some to be more tame
They are pretty small right now ..people look like giants to them .
Try moving slow & talking to them ..They will get more used to you ..eventually ..once they realize you are their source of food .
