You know we were at a brand new urgent care first this morning, of course it was clean and spotless, I was sitting in the waiting room and there was a man with a baby in a carseat, like 6 month or smaller baby, the babyes hands were black with filth the car seat was absolutely discussting and I couldnt believe my eyes, SERIOUSLY thinking I wish I could steal those kids and raise them on my own. Like its so hard to wash the car seat plastic? and the seat covers, even a pain to remove ARE WASHABLE and the child himself, was so sweet I wanted to grab and snuggle him. I know all are not raised like I know it should be so, but so sad for the innocent. I am not talking mild dirt here, I am talking nastyness, worse than the inside of a commercial trash can bad.

Sally...I really believe that you would take those kids! You are a good mom now, and you know you will be one of the most fun grandmas around! It will be here before you know it!

I know it's Monday, but my broody with her 10 eggs counts right?

Hi everyone! I just weighed Oomoo yesterday, and he weighs 2 LBS! This guy is only a little over 2 weeks old! he drinks and eats SOOOOOO much and he is only a baby, HIs sib isn't as greedy lolol .(of course she's younger thought). I'll have to post more pics. The third little emu in the egg is growing very nicely, and is wiggling. I have been sooo busy taking care of them, finally moved them out side today into a shed with a heat lamp. they seem to be doing well.

They grow fast! Yes, photos. Will be watching for a live cam again before we know it.
Saw an add today on one of our local place your ads...had Emus for 75 dollars each that just hatched yesterday. I wish I had more land.

I hope they all hatch!

I'll be happy if the BO's go over 50%; had a LOT of clears out of them this spring & this is the first set collected after I gave them... *ahem*... haircuts.

Wanted to show you how my roos from New Years' grew out:


I did discover that their musculature is different, and that I have to work them at about 3.5 weeks instead of six to ten, but they've done very well!

I'm just really curious what you're talking about here and I'm sure I missed something. What are you doing at 3.5 weeks and why.. If it resulted in chickens doing well I'd love to know about it.

It says it's accuracy is 3 degrees.

How accurate is yours?
