Hi Bob, good morning.
I was pretty happy to see nobody flagged out overnight. They are all eating and drinking too so they're already a touch smarter than some iv'e hatched.

Good morning! Iv'e already told them about you!
I'm glad i'm on a good roll, usually my rolls aren't the best.

Good morning! Awesome news! You are on a roll!

I cannot get the picture on her back.

I kinda wonder if she might have been molting and that's why she looks disheveled. I know they're *supposed* to do it in the fall, but I've got 3 who are super late to the party and are SLOOOOOWWWLLLLYYYYY molting still. I think the warmer temps in the basement did Klaus some good b/c she finished her molt up before she got put back in the coop.

Dog had a big bloated TICK
it's 47 f why are there TICKS now

I noticed a tick on Tubbs the other day... haven't seen him since so I didn't get a chance to remove it yet. I was surprised too! It's about as big as a pencil eraser.

Thanks


When you find the answer, I bet mosquitoes will be there too! My legs look awful!

A few weeks ago when it was warm I saw a mosquito when I was sitting outside while the birds ranged... I know they need to exist b/c things eat them, but could they not eat me?!

Ok, I had to boot them out of the bator.
Still have a couple hatching but beyond shrink wrapping worry. I want to just say....Hobo's chick looks like a grumpy old man, you'll see.View attachment 1724406

Sooooo much fluffy cuteness!

This thread has long gone off of squatch watching, but I just want to say that I know I'll never be finding any chickens out here... I live very far from any other chicken owners, so if any stray chickens make it here, I'll be extremely impressed.

You're welcome to join in the party. Don't count yourself out for your very own squatch... I've heard stories of people randomly dumping unwanted cockerels/ roosters all over the place. One lady posted that she'd found 4 chickens near the factory where she worked in an industrial park. She caught them all and took them home. They spawn out of nowhere.

Yay!! so there's 2 more to go?

Dr appt for the giant human... I normally wouldn't bother taking her this soon b/c I have a feeling it's just viral, but I want to make sure it's not strep b/c she will be around a lot of people this weekend.

Good morning Chicky!

Super glad you didn't pull that blue egg!
What color is that baby??

I wish I could tell you lol! It is still wet but it looks "frosted" dark underneath and yellow on top so when it dries i'll tell you. I do know it has white legs and they're featherd.
@apryl29 We are waiting on one more egg. I tapped it and there is peeping, there was one more but it didn't make it. I did a no-no and opened the bator, it pipped but something wasn't right there was alot of loose yolk and it had passed,there was a big yellow spot under it and I knew that wasn't right.

Was the egg getting darker? Often that is how you tell if the chick is developing in hard to candle eggs
