You expected this

...but what you got was this

So true. We had hard water so my first batch died anyway. I was so sad. Then I found out the Great Salt Lake near me had about a bajillion of them and I felt like a sucker anyway.

I know! You don't feel like your out in the water without a life jacket!

I won't! Peafowl are much harder to hatch. But the experience gained is priceless!

Thank you all so much! #2 hatched! And is really feisty! Since the second it popped out of the shell it's trying to run around. It won't get far in the Brinsea MINI! Haha! And they said you couldn't hatch peafowl in the mini!

That is so cool. I never thought I would be so interested in the outcome of an assisted hatch. Little guy looks healthy, too
Bravo!

Honest to goodness, I thought we would be friends...

Because I live in Utah or because seamonkeys let me down?

Kinda, ok 33%. I am about as red neck as a polar bear. Sorry. I was born in MA and consider myself from CT as I spent the most time there when you sort out where I was during my life. I spent some very miserable years in GA between 3rd and 8th grade, my parents still live there. So yea, sorry. I am not, nor will I ever consider myself a Southerner. Irony of ironies though, I intend to have my farm in Northern GA for various reasons... Very chuffed I have made your favorite username list. Any time you have a question for me, feel free to ask, the worse that can happen is I turn you down *shrug*

Well talk about being from the north....I grew up in Alaska...but I do consider myself a redneck to an extent. I hunt,fish,etc...you name it. If it's outdoors I pretty much do it.

Any years in GA are miserable years If you move to NE Georgia, you will be very near me Rossfam is our redneck Asian. It's not a term I came up with, she said it herself. I try not to overuse it, but the current conversation gave me an excuse #2 on my favorites list is rossfam, and if anyone other than you had asked this question I would have explained why #1? SCflock, of course. Told you I was a narcissist

I made #2!!!!??? Awesome!

Oh haha. So If someone else asks you why, you'll reply? Haha but not me? narcissist indeed.

Well, probably won't reply at all, but the others may figure it out, anyway She's a great fisher woman

Thanks! I accept that compliment. I do feel the same way about myself.... lol!

I just wanted to update. I did my first assist on a peachick this morning. Wrong side/end pipper. Thanks to the wonderful breeders on the peafowl threads, AmyLynn, Walnut, and everyone else, I was able to successfully save him!! I don't even know how he managed to pip in the first place. I think he accidentally pipped while trying to turn. His head and beak were tucked under his legs in the pointy end of the egg. I hatched him right in my hand and his huge eyes looked right at me! (Seriously, peachicks have enormous sized eyes). He's doing good and resting. My second pip looks like it's making progress and the third egg has pipped!! I appreciate SC holding off on smacking me and everyon's confidence in me!! Thank you!!

Yea!!!!!! I am so happy you did. I knew you could. SC will smack me because I help my chicks out whenever I feel they need it. That's why I am team purple. Lol!

Here I am! Great suggestion. I made one out of tin and used it last night on 16 meat birds. It went pretty well, but I would get a plucker next time. The kids got real tired of plucking. This is all I could visualize. Good luck!

Hahahahaha!

That is awesome!!! I've been wondering how it would turn out. Just don't try it with a chicken, or you will get ed

See above!

I thought about that after I posted. I meant the sea monkeys

I am so glad to know he's doing fine. Don't let sc scare you from helping, just smack him back...lol. We all knew you could do it!
