October Hatch-A-Long

[AmericanMom]

GIVE HER...GIVE HER...GIVER HER...!!!

LOL.. Just went out to gather this mornings eggs and to make sure she wasn't sitting on any, put my hand under her breast to lift her, narry a feather does she have on her breast so I slipped the fake eggs under her... DH just kinda rolled his eyes but like I said, I didn't buy broody breeds to not use them...in for a penny in for a pound

will check her and if she stays tight I'll put some eggs under her Sunday morning

I'm in awe with my flock... Went out yesterday and noticed a hen had been in the nest for quite a while, removed all eggs from under her, went out this morning, yep, she is still there... Getting into some pretty cold nights here so I figured my girls were done for the year... Not sure if I am going to let her or not yet...She is pretty easy with me, lets me get under her so I may want to let her, but as of right now I have 21 chicks of various ages 1 week-3 weeks with more to hatch ( 7 are mine) next week... I guess I could always sell the extra's this spring..
Ok I talked myself into it. . I'll give her until Monday on some fake eggs, if she is really serious I'll slip some fertiles under her

Have I said lately that I love my life

Yeah, chicken math is fun, isn't it? Enjoy.

My silkie was born cross beak and with one eye. her good eye either has a weird eyelid or something is stuck on her eye. Opinions?



Is there anything I can do for her? Would hate for her to go completely blind.

If it were me, I would watch to see if it moved when she blinks. Then I would think that it was just a grown on the eyelid. If it were, I would try pulling it off gently with tweezers. If it doesn't look like it was obstructing vision, I would just leave it, I think, though. Good luck!

I've seen 4 chicks so far out of 11 my hen was sitting on.

Whatever it was it fell off! Thank goodness!

I was worried I was going to have to cull her since its her only good eye. As of right now she hasn't eaten or drank anything besides when I show he where everything is. So keeping an eye on her, might have to use eye dropper to feed and drink her until I get her to do it on her own.

I got a hova genesis 1588 and it needs eggs in it... It told me so... So I ran it today while I was out taking my state CNA exam (that I passed!) and it (and I) did so well I fed it some eggs! DH reminded me that I said I was done for the year but that' was the LG 9200... Not the hova! I got a major eye roll but I need to test it out before I use it in the class room lol
