Hi all spent all day in OKC, just got back about 8 30. Spent the day bouncing from one doctor to the other. Seen 4 today. Got home and the chickens acted like they were mad because I was late feeding them. Reached in the barrel with my aseel hen to see if there was an egg and the rip bout disemboweled me. Got so much blood thinner in me looked like I stuck my hand in a buss saw. And of course, no egg today. Whats the longest you guys have saved eggs and gotten a good hatch?

SO I have 2 hens with Chicks together in the pen with most of the reast of my flock, Should I take them out and put them in thier own pens seperated and get them away from the rest of the birds?

 

[Sooner]

You take a chance if you leave them in there but since they are already hatched I'm not sure you can catch them to move them anyways.

I have two hens (lf) taking turns sitting & taking care of two chicks in with a small flock of bantams & so far there hasnt been any trouble.

Mine is Grover! Along with the Soap Opera guys... who would make fun of the muppets... lol

Yeah, well, I was talking Sesame Street. If we are going to expand it to the entire Muppet universe, mine is Fozzy Bear, hands down.

Unless we are going to include Yoda, who is also technically Muppet.

Evening Folks!

Well tomorrow is Friday and it could have come today and I would be a happy girl.

Have a delimma some of you may be able to help me with. Okay so my peahen has been without a male (at least I think so, our neighbors down the road have some but I have never seen them around) I just got a young male but he is only about 14-15 months old. I have both of them penned up together until I know they are familiar with each other. So here is the conundrum, she started laying eggs. The first one we are going to eat (hope peacock eggs are good???) but this last one she has been with this young male, so I kinda hate eating it because I am forever optimistic about getting babies. Should I try to hatch it and see or just have a huge one egg sandwich? For those of you who do not know peafowl take approximately 3 years to mature. My hen is over 3 years old, now but like I said, the male is still young.
I love my peahen, she is the most wonderful bird, very smart, very sweet and I would so love to have some babies from her. I think I am deluding myself in thinking I will get babies from her anytime soon. Just want to

Also her eggs are huge. Bigger then the peafowl eggs I bought a couple of weeks ago at Cement. Piaget is a silver pied spaulding and is a beautiful girl that I have had since the day she hatched. Does different peafowl have different size eggs? Honestly I would consider AI for her to get fertile eggs. Is that wrong??

I did candle eggs under my broody hens and it appears I have all but one developing, this is including the 4 peafowl eggs I purchased a couple of weeks ago.

I am going to have more ameraucanas and millie fleur cochin and hopefully salmon favorelles in a few weeks. Hens are a bit p!ssed at me but they get over it fast once they go to sleep.

Speaking of sleep, better head that way.
Night!
