35-40 days from the time the last egg in a clutch is laid (sometimes longer in colder weather)

Quote: Wow! That is an awesome chart.

Thanks for the link. It does give me a general idea, but I'm not sure if the black swan would fit into the same category. They are from Australia and usually nest in the fall, even up here, instead of spring. Going by the chart, I'll shoot for 5 weeks, give or take till someone says different.

this has been one of THOSE days....
I was holding my noel, a special needs silky, (from Betsy) she began breathing hard- went into convulsions and was gone...... such a special girl. I am thankful i had time to hold her in her last moments- am clueless as to what happened- she had wrytail, but nothing else i could see.....

Have you guys tried the Tapatalk app? I'm almost positive they've got it for Android, too. (Not sure what OS HTC uses). I like it real well for my iPad except it doesn't let you do the 'multi-post" thing.


I love it! And there's Mike in the background in the blue shirt talking on the phone lol! I don't know where this was taken or when but I do know that's Mike!
What a darling boy! Typical Silkie. My Silkie girls took in the tiny OEGB baby like little champs. Everyone else beat her up.
He needs a regal name....some sort of caretaker name......I loooove white Silkies, they're my favorite.

Okay...I'm really reaching here....Dr. Kildare (Richard Chamberlain) or Dr. Livingstone (explorer) What was Doc's name on The Enterprise?

Awe Robin sorry for your loss, we lost a Guinea today as well. I knew it was coming as a stray dog got ahold of him and he was banged up pretty good. I had hoped he would pull through. It is hard when we loose a feather baby.
