Thanks, Dutch! She is total sweetie! Is your call baby still having trouble? Is Uno with his new call buddies yet?

Well....I got some shocking/exciting news tonight. I'm going to be a grandmother

I told her she wasn't supposed to do that until I was at least 45...she's gonna be a couple years early! I'm totally beside myself......

Congrats I love grandbabies get to spoil them and send them home we have 7 so far

Wow, Dutch, what excitingnews! I hope you enjoy being a grandmother very much. Ruth is only 12, so lets hope I still have a few years - guess we'll continue catholic school !!

hello all!

Went to the 2 poultry auctions today & I came home with just an 18 pack of fertile chicken hatching eggs for $1.50
Haven't decided if I will hatch or have an omelette

Both!

I had a very nice and productive day today and I even got my dewlap babies outside for their first adventure. Spirit trucked around well on the uneven ground, but I don't think she can tug on the blades of grass like the others. So, after a short cruise around to check things out, she decided she'd rather lay in my lap and watch the others.

I love spirit! She's adorable.

I think the ducklings are all dead because of the 105 degree night accident The pipped one has not moved in two days and is shrink wrapped and the others show no signs of life

Sorry to hear about that. Better luck next time!

well one more shrink wrapped quail and we'll have all we're gonna get outta this batch... appox 52 out of the 79 that went into lock down.... not bad for the first try

Good hatch rate for quail I think.

Congrats! At least she's doing the incubating for you, and you get to just have fun with the baby.

Yes....it's belly is herniated, and though the baby is very active, it's not stretching out like it should be by now. It chirps, but doesn't open it's eyes. Odd. I have made sure it's eyes aren't stuck, and have it in a little bowl with it's chin up. We'll see what happens. It's a butterscotch, so I'm gonna be upset if it doesn't make it.

Not when they live over a 1000 miles away
