Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

[Evelle]

Hey Evelle, it has been that long!! I should have at least 3 goosies hatching today. One is already working on zipping.

Glad to hear you cut back on your stock and things are calmer at your place!

CG, excellent plan. I'm still very hopeful for your babies!!

Our last 3 duckies for sale have been picked up. They were very calm for the new owners. They have a little girl that was so sweet with them. The duckies were calm and let her pet them. They were excited to get them! And so am I.... because they went to the perfect home!! Our remaining four act like they don't care... and are happy for the extra space. Life is good.

OH GOODNESS!!!! yeah!!!! go little goosies go!!!!
me to i feel so much better with the number i have now..
awww dont you just love that when you know that they go to a good home. where they will be taken care of i mean all that time and effort hatching them it kinda is a bummer to have to sell them to anyone.

CG i agree dont give up hope..

Evelle: I don't know what causes that. I googled and it says it's something off in the nutrition, but I don't buy that because all my day old chicks had it and they hadn't even eaten much yet. Or been alive long enough to have a lack of nutrition.

I put apple cider vinegar in their water and it cleared up.

GREAT IDEA!!
i use to alway put apple cider in the water and i stoped.. i think it was because it froze in the barn and i never started it back up when it warmed up..

2 African geese

3 French white Muscovy
6 Silver Appleyards
