Sorry about your turkey baby, but glad to hear your goslings are doing well!!! Good to see you.

Good to see you too! And everyone, in fact.

. At this rate I'll be prepared for anything a zoo can throw at me

No doubt! Keep up the good work

I know birds can't be potty trained.... I know it's not possible.... but this turkey is making me question it. This birds has YET to poop on me. I have to handle her quite a bit. Now here's the strange thing. She was doing fine in here excerciser. Then she randomly starts sqawking. I get her out of it and set her in her other cage and she instantly pooped. Is this well normal?

Well...they can potty train little pigs, why not a turkey??

Better news: I have two new Silver Applewoods in the brooder.

Someone called my hubby looking for a specific duck. They are sexlinked by down color. One gender is yellow at hatch, the other brown or black. She said her dad had a friend who had them. Whatever they are. Ideas?

I was watching the vent sexing on Metzer's and he showed ducklings that were down sexed. Don't recall what they were, though. Watch the video and see if that's what you're looking for.
Sorry about your silkie...sounds about as difficult to hatch as Calls.

Hey quackers, so sorry about your silkie duckling! Um,.. What's a silver applewood?
Dutch, sent out this morning. She didn't want to risk sending them last week with the memorial holiday weekend. I am really hoping that they get here tomorrow, and it would be less than 24 hours in transit.

Ok...I was confused about the tracking thing...was a duh moment, lol. Glad they are almost there!

Good to see you too! And everyone, in fact.

You too, Marty

Marty, nice to see you on here again. Hope you are taking time to just sit and enjoy the goslings. They are built in stress reducers.

Dutch did you get any of that rough weather?

Kevin, when will you have zebra hatching eggs?


Saw water buffalo and zedonks listed on CL here recently. I think I can put the youngest goslings back out today. Poor things got stuck inside yesterday with the rains threatening.

My buff babies did not make it to my local post office this morning.

 

[Rachelssmiles]

Sorry to hear about little ones not makin it

. And ya'll need to move to Wyoming because our Post Offices takes the greatest care of our little ones. When we get them, you get a call, even if its 3:00 am. lol.

On a lighter note, someone had an extremely busy night, and it definately was not me.

Thank you for posting i was just wondering how things were going, now I know... How precious and Congrats!! Any signs of more hatching?

 

[Iain Utah]

Rachel, YAY!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!

Where in Wyo are you? I'm in Park City, Utah... 60 miles from Evanston. My post office is in Coalville... so I know exactly what you mean. The ladies there are the best! They are trying to pull strings to allow me to get my babies from SLC sort facility if they show up there on tracking this afternoon, so I do not have to wait until 7am tomorrow.

 

[Rachelssmiles]

Thank you very much, Miss Lydia! I have 3 more that are set up to hatch on the 9th of next month. I'm going to end up being a pro at this before it's all said and done!
My duck, Ducky, he hatched 3 weeks ago and I have three chicks that hatched before him and he has already outgrown them all!! lol!!

I live in Riverton, Wyoming. I love it up here! Although the weather is still trying to decide if it's going to get warm or stay cold, lol. Which is bad for us because we are trying to get in a big hurry to plant the garden. Is the weather doing the same there Iain? Yeah, sometimes, other PO's are really bad and they give all of us a bad rep! I'm glad you are talking to some gals that are going to take good care of you and your little ones!! SLC is the worst! So many times I've had things show up there and sit there for days sometimes weeks! ERG! I feel your frustration. LOL
