Ohh ok i see what you mean.
My little buttercup Reese is not doing so good for the past month she has been getting sick then being fine well now i think this might be her last time she's not doing good and im doing the best i can by putting vet-rx on her nose giving her food and water with vitamins and antibiotics in her water
She's also spending the day in my bathroom while she gets better atleast i HOPE she gets better

Hope she feels better! I hate it when one of my girls get sick

Birdman is shipping eggs to me from Michigan for the hatch. We talked about using warm packs to keep them from freezing. Good luck!

Oooooooh I like that idea! What breeds does he offer?

I think I'm getting some Polish, and whatever else he decides to throw in.

He has lots of breeds, but at one point they were mixed in the same pens. Not sure if they're separated or not. He has really cool peas and pheasants, too. I asked him to come over and tell us what he's got.

Just started test number 2 on my new incubator. First test, I got about 80% on shipped quail eggs. This time I have both shipped silkies and my own silkies (plus one surprise egg). Praying to get a splash, for some reason they never hatch for me.

Anyhow, upgraded from my little giants to the Rite Farm Pro Series. Really liking how I can calibrate the temperature myself, the day counter and specially that the egg turner is pre-designed to hold quail, chicken or ducks eggs with out changing trays.

Still trying to figure out what to hatch. Possibly getting some frizzles. Decisions, decisions....

She has been having problems since I got her we think it was because he never took care of his chooks. Im very upset but she lived a good life at my place

That would be awesome!!! With only a single breeding pair this spring, I really need more pheasants, and eventually I'll break down and get some peas!
We have a family friend who has lost nearly her entire wellsummer line, and I would have loved to hatch from her remaining hens as a favor to replenish her stock, but she got rid of her (gorgeous) roo!!! So I'll concentrate on swelling my ranks instead!!

So sorry Nate.

I have buttercups. They are so sweet. I'm glad to hear she led a good life at your place.
