Setting some silkie eggs tonight. I want that nice white, I want that nice blue splash. I had a nice white and blue splash once upon a time. Have been trying to get one as nice since.
lovely!
I just candled the eggs in my bator.... still have 25 chicken and 4 duck eggs developing.I am so happy, this incubation has been my best ever so far!
Good Mornin' everybody!! I woke up to 5 hatched chicks this morning!
And I got my first Royal Palm egg yesterday!
YAY!!
yummmmsGood Morning everyone! Spring made another attempt here in Michigan yesterday - 50 degree temps and sun and lots of melting! I think we have already lost most, if not all of the 6+ inches of snow that fell earlier this week! HURRAY!!!And to top it off, the sap is running nicely in the Maple trees - not only did our standby back Maple start running, but our front Maple tree ran for the first time (that we have caught it) in the last 3 years of tapping!!! Maple Syrup here we come!! After a brief cool down today and tomorrow, it looks like 40's all next week and maybe beyond!
Now if only the flood in our backyard would drain so I can get back to the Rock coop without a canoe...
I tried to encourage our veteran broody BO to think about sitting again yesterday, by giving her extra eggs while she was sitting in a nest to lay her egg. She took them readily enough, but later I found her out running around with the others. Oh well, she has TWO WEEKS to think about it. Meanwhile I will air out the Styro Incubators and prepare to start eggs in them if necessary.
I am getting excited with all the cute chick and duckling pics on here!No fair that all you continuous hatchers have babies already! Can't wait till set day!!!!
