Mr. Mkk Farms posted a picture and said “Can’t wait to get some of these” Looks like a Salmon Favorelle.

SilkieSensation posted a picture to show difference in growth between two day old and a 16 day old Broiler! They grow so fast!

Cynthia Wished us Good night. I had to stay up longer—Chicks hatched early and the last hatch was late so I had to scramble—eggs were pipping on the egg turner….

Cynthia wished us Good Morning! Pickitfarm and michaelf too! Blarneyeggs got a Good Morning in before break time too! BHep, not trying to catch up! Said good morning. Chicken pickin is about to Day 20 today

Tip from Blarneyeggs: try no climb fence to keep Goats in (May work…)

LadyCluck77 has a sick hen—might be vent prolapse! The Hen was much better in the afternoon, thanks to Preparation H!

Finally got it all filled up .

Very nice! Im super jealous of all these huge incubators I keep seeing. I really want to set more than the 44 my incubator allows me.

How many eggs does this hold? And whatcha hatchin?

 

[mlm Mike]

Shes giving me the broody face. I noticed her watching me for a week now, and she was getting mad when i take her eggs. She wont risk loosing anymore. Shes building her clutch and wont get off the nest

Tonight is Chicks Night Out at my feedstore The Mill! Chicken fun every year. A brief seminar, door prizes, chicks and individual chick orders. I'm going to order 6 pullets of something...don't know what yet, but every one of them will be different. I'm so excited! Wish me luck with the door prizes!!!

Good luck!

Ron I must add that you are extremely hilarious even when your throwing us some of your knowledge, you MUST post if we do it too!

Royal Blue Turkey:

I don't know what's going on, but I do know when to set eggs for this so, I'm feeling pretty good about this.

I am going to set a dozen or so bantam eggs for Easter, are the incubation settings supposed to be different for bantams or not?
Thanks.

Nope! all the same! wich type fo bantams you getting? bantams normally pip around lockdown day and hatch early around the 20th. happened every time for me! little buggars wont stay in there till actual hatch date! hahahah

instead of a new years day hatch, I had a new years eve hatch!
