ok my morning update is no good at all.
lost 2 more babies in the night.
the other 1 that had been upside down. and another who was quite the entire time. i expected him to go . he just seemed so weak. barely moved never peeped.

the upside down one i didnt expect he seemed to be doing good. i guess he just swallowed too much fluid.


the other 6 seem to be doing good.
everyone had a little more fluid in their egg than i would have liked since humidity has been soo high here. im going to start cooling the other eggs everyday after this hatch.
but the extra fluid has everyone sticky. well ok they arent sticky nemore they are more crunchy now lol.
but still fiesty. this just means they will get a bath earlier than usual.
they all have about a dime sized yolk to absorb. so they should be out when i get home from class.

looks like a grey. 2 snowys. a black magpie. a blue bibbed. and the other is either a blue bibbed or magpie i cant quite tell yet

I may be able to help with the first 3. Before I switched from the double major (nursing and bio) to just bio, I had some classes there and began covering some of this. Turns out I didn't want to take orders very well, so I wisely just became a bio major with the idea of maybe becoming a vet or MD or dentist afterword. My title? Mom and Food service manager. Go figure! (our cook quite last year, and I stepped up - turns out the biology was very use full, cause there is tons of state paperwork, and lots of food safety regulations. In 3 years, I can apply to the state to be a food inspector)

good morning

Morning all.

Never got on yesterday, spent the day driving to other cities to work on my dads stuff all afternoon, and finally got home late and just ate and went to bed.

All my babies are doing well. My midget white turkeys ordered were due this week, but hatchery had to reshedule for June, due to a bad hatch. Glad I'm not the only one having turkey hatch troubles!

Goslings are all doing well. Duckies all smell (but well). Chickens are growing. I noticed today that one of my pheasant is a victim of picking, and either I'll put the two together alone, or something. Anyone have pheasants? Are they pickers??? I'd guess so, quail can be.

Bought the girls a new above ground pool yesterday at a wal-mart on the way home. They are very very excited. I'm just glad no water birds can get into it.

School is out now, so I'll actually get to check in more.

I want to say to EVERYONE that I miss you all, and I'm sorry I've been gone so much the last few weeks.

You know how it goes. Seems like work is over, do chores, then lots of other details to finish. Somebody has talked to me and wants to buy my dads house. Since we don't plan to live there at all (its only a 2 bedroom) we're also trying to go through stuff and clean. He was a bit of a pack rat I'm afraid, so its gonna be a busy busy summer, trying to do that on top of everything else. Oh well, at least he didn't brood ducks!!!

we weren't on yesterday either............

everyone!

good morning

morning!

hey everyone. i was wondering if anyone had one egg i could have i would even pay for it, but im not super rich so i cant pay like $30

 

[JulieNKC]

I love when you give me info

......... I would be oh so lost with out ya celtic!!

I am making a new playpen for them tomorrow! I used to dig up sods of grass for my pilgrims, till I lost them.. everytime they would finish one, I would put the sod back in the spot I got it from, and dig up a new one.

Great idea DG!

I GOT MY FIRST CAYUGA DUCK EGG TODAY !!!

Want to fill my bator with some Duck, Chicken , Goose, & Guinea eggs, (also some silkie)! What do ya all have for me to hatch ???

mystery juvvies.
#1

you can also see one of the blue bibbed and my beautiful blue fawn hen with a bulging crop. little piggies!



#2








my choc bibbed



there is a third mystery babies from this hatch but her color is hard to capture in pictures. she looks white in pics.

Cute! I still think the magpie looking one is a silver or lilac magpie. I need to get some new pics of my babies, their belly feathers have popped out.

barrel of monkeys after their bath.

Utah: Apparently Appleyards start laying at around 24 weeks. Big fat bummer right thar. That's 8 more weeks for me. I'm not feelin' that. They are already mating with Chuck the Duck.

At least you don't have calls. Mine were hatched in February and I'm not expecting any eggs until next spring.

No goose eggs either, although Priscilla constantly squats now at less than 4 months. For me though. Not for Elvis, who doesn't even notice what she's doing. Weird goose.

the duckling died in my hands.
i picked him up and was getting ready to tie it off and he took his last breath

but everyone else is soo far doing good.
1 is a little less active.
but the rest are peeping and moving.

OMG you guys. My husband just told me he has a tick on his...



Pee pee place.

My DD had one behind her ear we had to pull off last night. Must have got it fishing with daddy.

Dutch!

.

. Looks like mine may just be a bad layer. Luckily she seems to be a good broody. Which is what I need more than a layer most of the time.

I've heard that to. It can take weeks for some chickens to be broken

. I thought last year was bad when it took Bruce like 2 weeks to stop.

Better than turkeys. Mines been broody for 2 months now.

Are you going to breed MW or just raising some? I need to find a home for my MW hen. The geese hate her for some reason, and I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of fighting once she's given up being broody.

Where are you located?
