Unless you guys and galls ain't talking (typing) it is the only thread I visit. I don't even face book never ever had an account because of to much drama.
I'm the same way. I still go to the What Breed or Gender is This? Because it doesn't involve a lot of dedication to the certain thread, and because I find it a good way to learn certain things. I also follow a few people that are educators so I can read up on their replies - Ridgerunner, Fred's Hens, Chris09, Kev, nicalandia, centrarchid and Illa.
It was about it's non-renewable status, but I still don't see the point in attacking her like she was attacked (I went to go find it because I was bored) I have never used it, but now I know it works for Mumsy, I just maySorry you got bullied/attacked Mumsy, but welcome to the internet
Last time I checked peat moss was organic matter, right??? I thought organic matter mixed with poop will eventually = compost? As long as it's doing what it's supposed to be doing/what you need it to be doing, and your birds like it and it makes good compost as an end product... WHO CARES!
Some people just aren't happy unless they are criticizing or controlling others
Their points did not turn me off on it.
I thought you rehomed your turkeys?
Congrats!!! woo hooo first eggs are always so exciting!My mom comes to visit and I get way behind.
Lots of exciting things going on. Wonderful coops, beautiful birds and a new book to look forward to.
I bought my dh some crayfish and now that he's enjoyed them I was going to give them to the chickens. I thought someone had done that with lobster, but when I search I can't find I. Could the original poster point me to the post number or date time frame or let me know how they gave it to their chickens? Thanks.
Also have some good news to share! I got an egg yesterday! I can't imagine what it is like to have babies hatch when we get this excited over our first egg! Can't wait to try it.
I have had bloody eggs here and there. Don't worry I do not see any left over big chunks. Sometimes they nick a blood vessel and mom pulls them out of the egg a bit to soon. I have hd moms cull chicks they knew were not going to make it or were not *right*. ..Your hen knows what she is doing it looks like.OK - I have big news!
Three Swedish Flower Hen eggs under the Silkiebator made it through the 2nd round of candling, but I thought one of those three looked like a quitter based on too small of a dark part (chick) indicating lack of growth/development. But... she wanted the egg back, so I went ahead and left it, figuring after the other two (hopefully) hatched, I'd toss it.
But...
The chick from the "egg in question" is smaller than the others and not as strong. I noticed when it hatched that although the yolk had been completely absorbed, there was still too much of a blood supply adhered to the inside of the shell. There was a lot of blood when this little one hatched and I didn't think it was going to make it. Yet... so far it seems to be improving in health as opposed to declining. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed... I'd sure love to have all three of them make it!!!
You can certainly tell which egg the "runt" came out of. Has anyone else had a bloody egg like this? You can see blood veins all over the inside of the shell.
And tomorrow I should be putting the finishing touches on the new horse trailer coop! (Yes - there will be pictures when it is done to my satisfaction.)
Anyone have some clever name suggestions for my new coop? My dollhouse coop is the "Pollo Club," a little play on words/language since we keep chickens on a horse farm. Now my new coop is a horse trailer. The name doesn't have to stick with that theme. Could be anything, but perhaps something that highlights the mobility factor or something. All suggestions welcome!
. Luv this thread. ???? Should I start over in the fall again?
