My Flemish are either on wire with a large wooden "resting pad " and straw covering the wire, or in a cage on the ground with straw on the floor so that they can dig in the dirt when they want. I put one of my largest bucks into one of the newly built large peacock/pheasant pens, yesterday - in hopes that being on the dirt will help "cure" the small sore hock spots he has. Although the does don't seem to have problems with sore hocks, I have had to fight that on several bucks through the years. Keeping their toe nails trimmed is as important as being sure they have a solid surface in the cage on which to relax.

Just finished candling and putting all that survived the cut into the hatcher, 60 total made the grade out of 90, I did have some older eggs I was collecting and they seem to be the ones that were not doing well. ( note to self ) don't collect for more than 10 day's LOL.
I may take a breal after this batch I am needing to make more room, but I should be able to do some culling in a month or two.

Although I am not supposed to ask for any more peacock/pheasant pens for awhile, there is one that isn't full of pheasants or peacocks "yet".

The peacock option is probably an easy one to fill...what colors would you like? they will probably be there...so keep your phone handy

I will be doing a little candling tomorrow....I have a few eggs to set...I likes that carla lady...generous and a good hugger...don't tell gerald...he doesn't hug as good

If you candle before day 18 you can eliminate the eggs that aren't developing and free up some bator space more quickly - thereby eliminating the need to "hold" eggs longer than 7 days.
