So there's a light brahma egg pipped now. Is that okay? That seems really early to me... :/

It's only Day 18.

My hatches always ran a bit early, could hardly get em locked down before they were hatching. I've been told that my temps could be running a bit higher than they should.... The chicks were all okay. I wouldn't worry. And what a sweet surprise for your little sis.

Thanyou this also helped what is the best way to get the humidity up by the way any ideas

I've heard either put a larger water container in the unit or add a sponge to make more surface area...I've only batered once and the sponge worked....

I usually soak a sanitary napkin and place it right under the vent hole in the bator for easy refilling without opening the bator.

OK... I am at work, so hope I can get this out before I have another call.... PERFECT solution coming your way.... MotorcycleChick needs a new EE roo who isn't nasty to her other guy.... I just happen to know someone with a very sweet EE roo and a beautiful group of EE girls, who just happen to produce a lot of beautiful EE eggs... hhhmmm... well, my solution to MC's roo problem when I spoke with her last week was to get her a bunch of eggs to hatch out, she could sell of any extras and keep whichever EE boy she liked best. I just know she was so tempted!

Now it would push her right over the edge if I told her that she could help you out by letting your girl do her broody thing, hatch out a half dozen or so cuties and stay with mama for a few weeks, then move to her place.... now doesn't that just sound like a win/win?????

And I would provide egg delivery!

So... how'd I do??

Great idea on the duck brooder addition!

I offered MCC and nice little CCL roo (or two) and she left empty handed....

You know, she's not making our enabling any easier, is she???

Okay, so I have a little duck question for you duck owners. I was just looking over my little Chuck, and the feathers underneath his bum and down a little are wet, and tinted yellow. It doesn't really smell weird, just like how he's always smelled. And when I say a little wet, they're just a little wet. Ladies, think half air- dryed hair. They're not vent gleet-y at all.

Maybe hubby kept her empty handed,,she had lots of opportunity to fill that trailer, I know I would have....

Thanks we do Love our chickens! We gave away our former flock at the end of last year :-(. But I am now rebulding our little backyard flock we live right in town, so we are keeping the flock to just 8...
we are not just chicken crazy, but beekeeping crazy, mix in a half dozen kids and the fun never ends

Bees, did you say bees?

I know there are people on here looking for raw honey, myself included, so you fit right in!

I'd raise them myself, but one sting and if be down for a week. My neighbor would love it for his organic orchard, though

I m still working on hubby for that issue, I thought I had him till he seen the price of a hive...and he hates honey, what a dope.

Today's dose of cute.
Granted, it's a mix. The pattern and feathered legs? Interesting at least. Mother was barnyard mix, part silkie, dad a Swedish Flower.
