Ohh, almost forgot derp Barb took a big old juicy poop on my phone and now everything sounds like a drive thu.

Yay! I hope the leach lines can go in now

Yup, they are out of my septic guy's way now.

I just candled my guinea eggs in the incubator. 10 of the 11 fertile eggs are active and nearly filling the egg. Lock down is on Sunday and they are supposed to hatch a week from today.

@CapricornFarm Did you find your guinea eggs hatched on day 28 or earlier? I read something that suggested they tended to hatch earlier than 28 days.

Well maybe she shouldn't use the phone if she cannot take a break long enough to go potty.

When I hatched guineas, they hatched on day 26. I think the timing says 26 to 28 days for them. Ducks were early for me too

Bra Baby certainly won't fit in the bra anymore!

But looking girlish....roughly 6 weeks old. Promptly pecked me in the eye right after I took the picture. Then ate my tears.

She looks pretty. How many did you end up keeping? William sits on my shoulder too, but he doesn't go for the eye, he bites my arm. I wear glasses though, so it probably deters him.

Is that why pirates wear eye patches?

I’m hoping it’s a she! So I bought 7 to start and lost 2. Then when I kept bra baby I got a friend to keep her company. Back to 7. (Oddly enough the same breeds I had lost) Then Family Farm and Home had Spitz pullets on sale cause they were getting a little older.... 4 were added. That put me to 11 which was only 1 more then I had planned.


Then 3 more stayed. A barnavelder chick has an injury. Not sure how it got it in the brooder but I’m thinking the others pecked it. So I separated it with the smallest chick. Happens to be a silkie. When lady came to pick up chicks she was looking over the grow outs and I said how I liked the partridge patterning on a silkie. She said keep it.
Little one looks to be frizzling.

I went from 19 chickens to 33 in about a month.
Damn chicken math!
