On another note.... I did an experiment on feeds with my day olds. I placed a dish of mazuri pellets next to a dish of start n grow mash. The mazuri dish was empty this morning and the start n grow was untouched. I personally find that very interesting!

Well, little Oswald passed....

... I'm kinda happy though, he peeped like he was in pain most o the night. Now I can relax, and wait for the rest to come.

QJ, I could not help but think of you and your stressing over whether the baby was a SA when my little one hatched out. I am HOPING it is a boy, then I can keep a couple of girls from prather's eggs and have an awesome trio, but the pipes on the thing makes me suspect it will be a girl. Either way, I'm in love with the little thing!!

I too wonder what is up with DG's baby!! Hope she shows up to give us a report soon!!

I'll hope it's a boy too. The girls are more silver when they start to feather, anyway.. they are SO FREAKIN PRETTY! There was no Ugly phase for them. They went from down to silver feathering. Just beautiful. They are one of my favorite breeds.

I've also noticed, the black one quacks all the time. She is LOUD. I wonder if yours will be the same.

That is VERY interesting.

OH NO! Oh well. That's kind of a relief I bet. Hey DG, when I was your age I "helped" a chicken and ended up it just wasn't ready. I learned a lot off that experience. Just like this was a good experience for you. Hugs and kisses girlfriend!!

That might explain a few things right there DG.

Sorry I just disappeared earlier. As I was typing my last post, my gelding got his foot in the barbed wire fence and tried to cut it off. I can't get the bleeding to stop so have the vet on his way

Your not putting him down are you?? LOTS, and LOTS of pressure. My ducks foot wouldn't stop bleeding, it bled for 10 minutes straight. I had to put a ton of pressure on it. I stopped eventually. I got to go change his bandage, make sure theres no infection. Good luck with your horse (A gelding is a horse, right?)

Yeah, it does. So does anyone else have "holes" in the bottom of their bator?

Sorry, DG. I agree with QJ, it was a great learning experience for you. Oswald served a purpose... to teach you how to help the future babies better.

Dutch! OUCH!! If it makes ya feel better, last fall my horse was running to me from the back of his pasture, and midway to me, he put his foot through a metal drain pipe that was just under ground. He looked like a race horse that broke its front leg the way he went down at a full run. He tore his entire front right quarter off his front right hoof, leaving only one layer of fascia before coffin bone, as well as tearing the ligaments that attach at coronary band. He was in our medical paddock next to house for a month with almost daily vet visits for treatment. But he recovered 100%!! I'm thinking super positive thoughts about your boy. Please keep us updated!!!

DG, yes. A gelding is a castrated male horse.
