Surviving Minnesota!

I have no idea but it sounds like you know what you're doing so just follow your instincts.

I really don’t at all, but thanks anyhow. One day I will, perhaps.

Now I have a little poult limping and shivering so I put it (her?) in with the gimpy chicken. I just looked in on them and she was leaning on him. She’s dragging her left foot. I think they like each other.

Winner...

Nothing exciting here. Cleaned pens and moved some birds around. I have a few young poults headed to the barn today.


It appears the eternally Broody turkey has finally stopped setting.. a EE hen has taken over on the same rotten eggs..

Morning! One more day away, then we head back home. Straight into bad weather by the sounds of it. Yay

According to Dolly, we have four fresh hatched silkies this morning. She has already named them. Of course.

I had a couple eggs LF Black cochin eggs due to hatch yesterday. I had a track meet that I had to leave the house at 6:15 for and my alarm didn't go off and I woke up at 6:105 so I didn't have a lot of time so I just quickly glanced in the incubator and see that one chick had hatched, I noticed it had a very yellow head but I just said whatever and kept on going. A couple minutes later I passed by again this time I open up the incubator and pick the chick up, here it is all yellow with a stripe down the back and no feathers on its legs. I have a couple guesses how it happened but I find it very hard to believe that they would have happend, my first guess is one of the layer roosters bred a BC hen but the chick has no signs of being part Cochin. My second guess is that it is a layer egg, which I also find hard to believe because I have never mixed them up before. Either way so far it is the only one hatched so now I need to find someone to take a lone chick...

More snow here too, when I was at home and driving into town yesterday morning it rained good all the way there. Once we got to Dickinson they had a couple inches

After about 2 months of trying to track down some decent ducks, I have succeeded! They should be old enough for Hutch.

SO cute!!!

I just ordered 8 dux eggs.

DH will not be pleased... it was a moment of weakness. He is not here to save me from myself. Is on his way to Mayo in Rochester for checkup... selfish man. Where is he when I need him?
I am so excited! I bought an incubator and hatched actual chicks. I love them; they’re so cute. Even better than shipped ones. I can’t wait to hatch dear little Welsh Harlequin duckies. If I get a 25% hatch rate like I did with the chicks, that’s only 2 dux. That is what I’m gonna tell him when the eggs somehow magically show up in the incubator. I have to use it anyway, don’t I? How else will I learn? Right? I am not addicted. I can stop whenever I want to...
