Stella's Social Club

[The Sheriff]

I just got tempted and candled my eggs in the incubator. I wanted to know how many of the Isbars were developing. Well of 6 eggs three are quitters. So, I still have three left. I am tempted to throw a few more in the incubator but I don't really want to be raising chickens all summer long. I think I will just hope that the three I have hatch and they are pullets.

I have one adult too right now, plus three hens and a pullet. Ideally I would like six or seven pullets. I'll get there!

The good news is 10 of the original 12 Icelandics are still viable. One was clear from the get-go and now another has quit. That will be enough babies for me!

Hello, everybody! I'm new here but would love to join Stella's social club. Is there room for one more?

That is amazing!

Mary last night I had a dream that we bought a house next to you that shared a wall with your house.... hah I think my four little gremlins were driving you nuts but you were too gracious to say so!

That's dissapointing to hear. The closest one is OSU (Oklahoma State University) which is about a 2 hour drive from me. I will think about it. I am going to send off Isbar chicks there to try and figure out what's going on, last hatch almost 2 weeks ago I had 10 chicks and I'm down to 1. Still have no idea what's going on.

Try taking a poop sample to any nearby vet, to see if you have a coccidia outbreak going on.Are your chicks on MEDICATED starter ? If not, coccidia would be my first guess.

Awesome Dar. The fridge, not the insomnia.

When do we get to see pics? I want to see your view.

I have always had such trouble hatching isbar eggs. Drives me nuts!
