Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

DG: When you come back...

Do you have any dogs that are chicken killers? And if so, or not, if I have one dog that is, and I add an Anatolian.. how will that effect things? Like.. will the Anatolian let her harm the chickens since she grew up with the other dog and considers it the Alpha?

I need to do some research on this. But thought you might have an idea.

Great news!! Not sure how I am going to handle hatching my Toulouse in a few days after this hatch. Sheesh, hatching is so stressful!

 

[Iain Utah]

Thanks bakin!! I am so thrilled that I have 9 new babies, even if I did have to hatch 8 of them!

Or you could be like me. Nothing to do... nothing to hatch.... nothing fertile. I have to wait forever for something to hatch. And then they aren't mine so.. won't be quite the same. The sebbies have 5 more years left before they hatch.

5 more years... LOL!! It will be here before you know it. Seems like yesterday that I set these Toulouse eggs. Tomorrow starts day 27.

My SA is almost fully hatched out and my wrong way Ancona is building strength slowly. So happy this hatch is almost done. Can't wait to get a good night's sleep.

I just looked at the calendar. My 3 little feedstore pekins are 3 weeks old today! I don't remember my last pekin baby growing so fast!

They're getting wing feathers! I'm ready to move them into the bathtub, but hubby keeps informing me that the bathtub is for swimming, not brooding. Sheesh, I brooded my last batch in the bathtub and they turned out just fine!

I candled the eggs from my ducks that I set the same day as DG's Rouen eggs. Nothing. No-go. Nada. WTQ are those drakes doing in there??? I'm sure they're infertile, but I'll give them until I do a full-on candle and cleanout before I toss them. It's only day four... but when I candled my other set on day five, the results were the same as when I candled them on day 10 and got rid of no-go and blood rings.

Time to call it a night. It should be Friday tomorrow, but it's only Wednesday. What gives?

 

[Iain Utah]

Quackers, what did he say about the last set that were brooded in the tub?

My Sebbie started peeping at me yesterday. Wont be long now. I hope so much that it makes it. I want it so bad. I already named it Sebastian. I have an EE that has externally popped. I can see its tiny little beak sticking out.

All of my sweet BEIs hatched and got moved out with the chickens. My Silkies are making fantastic mommie to all the little ones out there.

All my baby Pekins from the first hatch are all outside living with the big ducks.

I received a dozen call duck eggs and a dozen runner eggs yesterday. Not sure who sent them to me though. But thank you very much whoever did.
