Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

How do you tell the sex of chickens at 2 days old. ?

They either have to be bred for sexlinks, or you have to vent sex them. Boy chicks don't have pee pees, so it's much harder to vent sex them than waterfowl.

Marty, when I look at that wall I think "looks great, but what it really needs is a couple of lilac geese".

LMAO!

I allrady have set 6 more chocolates, and I got 7 of the midget whites. They are taking part in the hatch a long. Lets just hope by the time they get here either:
a - he knows hes a turkey
b- he's ok w/being a surrogat mama until he figures out he's a turkey.

Thats great SM. When DH realized how many eggs I was incubating (about 70, a new personal best) he kinda freaked on me.

Then, I told him how you sell your extras (as others do) and the light kinda went on. He's been out in the garage workshop every since. Now I'm scared.
and you should be... anytime they head out to the workshop

She said you have 3 girls and a boy. Is that the question?? nope... I dont have any yet that was either Julie or QJ

One of my 5 week old ducklings in with the 1 day old ducklings. This one quacks, so do both magpies. The other 2 I'm not sure of, really hoping one is a boy. Think I'll try vent sexing them tonight.
I vent sexed some of the blue ducklings until I found 2 I am 90% sure are girls Psue. I put a drop of green food coloring on both their heads, hope it sticks for a little bit.

cool, now if these babies will just hatch and we can complete the bator tomarrow then the bigger brooder for Squishy and the ducks ...... yup should be ready as soon as these hatch and they've dipped already

I just planted 20 Strawberry plants and about 200 feet of potatoes.. I took pics. Because it's so interesting to you all I'm sure. LOL. I'm just excited.

Oh, we also planted another blackberry and a raspberry. Someday I'll be up to my ears in berries.

Julie: I love that big duckling in the front. She's gonna be purty.

CG: Love the outdoor brooder. Hopefully someone (ehem.. hubby) will make me a little something tmw for my chicks to go outside.

Thats great! The broccoli and cabbage I planted late in fall and mulches have grown a bunch, after such a mild winter. Planted lettuce, carrots, and peas. I'm not digging any potatoes! (We don't eat them much, but I love new peas and potatoes)

Your not the onlyone interested, right Julie???
