The Quack Shack

Still a bit tired, but getting there. Gotta go drop the keys for the rental early this am. I've never heard of a rental place without a key drop until now.

The rental?

The rental?

Rental truck, mine is too old to make the trip.

Good morning everyone!

No key drop is indeed a strange thing.

So the blind Tomaru has survived the night, but is till not eating. I think I am going to cull it this morning. It seems to be 100% blind, just aimlessly walks around, run in to the walls, and no matter how many time I put it at the food, or food in it's face it just wont eat. It's not even pecking at the ground, or anything for that matter.As much as I want this chick to live, I am pretty sure it id going to die regardless.

On a brighter note, the new fellas have suck a nice deep crow. I'm listening to them right now. I think the Serama crow is cute, but it's pretty shrill and annoying after the 2nd crow. These fellas are much easier on the ear to listen to.

Chris sorry about the little chick. Are there only 2 that hatched?

Yes, and as much as my wife is not going to like it, I need to get 1-2 chicks pronto.

Thte farm I got the Turkens, Guineas, and the new Serama roo is Fort Christmas Farm. Im only bringing this up, because most of the times I refer to a local farm, it's this one. I'm just going to call it FCF.

So... FCF has chicks 1-7 days old most of the time. I talked with her before the eggs hatched and she had RIR, EE, Rhode Island White, Silkie, and I think White Leghorns.

I guess it would be between the EE & RIW. I'm not interested in RIR or Leghorns, and I was going to try and trade my Silkies to her.

@rjohns39 do you have a good picture of what a proper RIW chick around a week old should look like?

 

[rjohns39]

Chris, These are day olds and they don't look a lot different at a week old. I think it would be difficult to tell the difference between them and the white leghorn other than ear color.

Thanks for the picture, Bob.
Yeah, so I doubt I'll get any RIW. I don't know where she gets them from. I'd never be able to tell good quality but bad quality. I'd be to stuck just thinking they're all cute.
