I gguess i will give these gguys till wednesday. Unless they worsen. But without improvement they will have to be culled

i am thinking i will do that too

my little funky foot has started walking a bit but keeps falling over because his foot is all crinkled, but they all really perked up after the sugar water and are being pretty loud now, but only time will tell

Ok, all caught up.
I can't get good pics of the poults because someone is always sticking their face in the camera, lol.

This is the one who can't walk right. I'm going to make bandaid shoes and see if that helps. Anyone have any other ideas?

they are so cute! how do to make band aid shoes? i may have to try that with funky foot

Julie's back!

I use a tiny rubber band and it gives it some leeway. I was out of bandaides at the time. LOL I'm always out of bandaides with all these imaginary human owies.

we get a lot of those around here too

Well i just vent sexed the ones with good legs an i think there are 7 girls an 4 boys

yay!

Hey all! Don't have a lot of time to catch up right now.
We're having a disaster hatch right now. I think most of my runner babies died in the shells sometime during the night.

I'm going to be lucky to get 6 out of 19 eggs. No action on the bei's due on wed, but the goose babies are still going.
Cross your fingers for us!

I just get the cheap ones. They end up on everything. Last week when Julia chick pooped on her, she bandaided his butt.

now that is funny!

That's hilarious!


I think it took me 3 hours to catch up today! Goodness. I had to take a break to pick up my two darling turkey babies from Julie! Thanks Julie, and your girls are adorable! I miss having my kids at home. Then again, it leaves more time for baby turkeys and ducks.


"Evelyn" and "Kara" [sorry, Julie, if those aren't spelled right]

what cuties

I hatch Guineas, & they are easy like Chickens IMO

I want to buy some eggs from here next

http://www.guineafarm.com/ But I haven't bought any yet

thanks Jaz i will check them out

Just thought I'd pop in to share my h*llish nightmare with you... I have shrinkwrapping on the outer membrane, tons of fluid and gunk inside the inner membrane and all sorts of wrong positioned babies.

Well flippy is doing worse his leg now is behind him and he cant really move it
An the 3 in the bator.... No change
If no change tomarrow then i think its time to cull,
This is no way for them to live

Took pics of my Cayugas !!!

Icu baby #2 has her legs under her so maybe there is hope for her
