I've got to get some sleep. I think I've got a virus coming on.

When she kidded did you try and clear the airway etc??? push in and out on the lungs???

I saved a few calves that way when heifers had difficult births....

Oh, yes, we cleared airways, did more than I care to admit too. I didn't know you spent time on a dairy farm. My wife grew up on a dairy farm, our property is carved out of it, her cousin bought it from her father back in 1981. I hope you don't get ill.

I had a dismal hatch on my dark eggs. Only got three chicks. One of them has a funky foot so I have a booty on him. He walks on tip toes. Good grief. I think I am just going to bite the bullet and buy chicks.

Right now I have 18 cream legbar eggs in the incubator and 11 of my project eggs. I am excited for this hatch. Oh lord Brinsea, don't fail me now!

I also need to set some Isbars.

When I was feeding the emus this morning I noticed that Louis has a big bare path on his back with feathers growing in. There is also a large hematoma present. I have no idea what happened to him. He seems none the worse for it so I will just keep an eye on him. There isn't much for them to get hurt on out in the pasture. The shelter sits up off the ground. I wonder if he rolled under it then slammed his back when he tried to stand up. It definitely doesn't look like damage from pecking. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.

We have a good news, bad news going on here. The good news is our doe kidded this evening right on her due date. Here she is with her little buckling.




The bad news is her 3 doelings were all still born. I don't understand it, they all looked good, they were full term, no problem with delivery. But non of them showed any signs of life. Very sad.

sorry. Very sad

That is a beautiful doe and kid. I absolutely LOVE the three color combo!

Thanks for the offer Jason but I am up to my elbows in birds. If I were just looking for any dark egg layers I would gladly take you up on your offer! My darks are a special project.
