Wow, poor girl is probably glad to have that pregnancy over with!

I hope all are doing well, though with 4 I would be amazed to not see a weaker one or two...

They are certainly cute and should be great fun to watch and photograph!

Yeah, it helps. It's also opened my eyes to benefits of hatching vs buying chicks, and of course biosecurity. I have the remaining 2 chicks still in the brooder and will probably keep them there for the full quarantine period, until the end of the month, before I introduce them to my 3 one y/o girls. In the future if I plan to add more chicks, I think I may hatch them myself or have my Silkie do the job...

I get that. I dealt with it last year and stopped getting chicks for the year due to 2 chicks that had a highload of worms.

Awww! Momma and babies are beautiful! Quads are impressive--did you get boys, girls, or some of each? I aspire to have dairy goats at some point, and Nigies are probably my favorite, but I don't see it happening until my human kids are much more grown.

Check out this huge egg. I don't know who laid it, but I'm sure it's a double yolker, if not an egg inside an egg. It's also wrinkled! Chicken egg and turkey egg for size comparison.

Wow, big egg! :eek: I've gotten a couple wrinkly ended ones like that, but never any really huge eggs.


P.S. @dheltzel , I sent you a chicken train related PM, just wanted to be sure you saw it. :)

8 baby turkeys hanging out in the chicken train hotel for a few days... they are much noisier than chicks. I don't think I've ever had turkeys on their own without chicks to brood with. These guys have food, water, warmth, cool and they are still peeping like crazy. I think they just want me to sit with them, lol.

I've also been meaning to upload this picture. I thought both of my green layers were taken by the racoon the other week, but apparently I had more than just the two green eggers in the flock. I got this super dark green egg the other day. Here it is next to a typical green egg. Can it get double colored in the egg making process? It also had patches of little granules on it. These can be scratched off easily so they are on the shell, not part of it. Just calcium deposits? Something else?

@dheltzel I'm thinking one of the other girls I got from you must be the remains green egger, but I'm not sure which. The two that were taken looked just like the lighter chicken (first picture) but had smaller rose? Combs and bigger crests. Can you tell me what breeds I have here? I think the second picture (darker bird) lays dark brown eggs.

Enjoying a little field trip to the outdoor crate. They can just squeeze through the wire, but they are mostly content not to... and I have three little poultry catchers for the ocassional escapee.
