Cool Lisa, hope you have a better hatch than mine. I am excited.
We got another baby goat last night. but ended up losing the mother. It was rough.
Oh I am so sorry. Is the baby a buck or doe? Its so hard when the moms don't make it.

IT is a little doe. She is very flashy. I am bottle feeding her and the other one. Luckily I was prepared with goat milk in the freezer.
this was her second kidding. She had some sort of cancer or scar tissue that was keeping the kid from coming out.
I need to get pics of the chicks, they are looking good.

Woo hoo we have 20 degrees here too! Yay! I went out to get eggs and it felt a lot different than the last few days for sure. Maybe I can scrape the coop floor out without having to chisel the frozen poo with the flat shovel....it needs cleaned but it is a solid mass of frozen poop piles. I keep hacking at it and throwing new shavings in, it is getting gross! Praying for a day of sun and 30's temps so it will defrost.
Blujems, that goat is So cute! She is wearing thigh high boots, very cool. So sorry to hear about the mom, that is awful. I know how much you love those goats, hugs to you my friend
that makes me sad too.
Hattie congrats on the babies! Sorry to hear about the stress though, you are so sweet. Try not to worry!
I have a pip this morning..a day early again. I wonder if I am running the bator too hot, they keep coming a little early.
The pip is a Marans egg.
So here are my details on chicken train chicks
...
I am still planning on coming to Murray on Saturday. I can post chick pics (hoping some hatch!) Thursday and if anyone wants any I could bring them south with me....I do not have room for many and only want to keep about 3 from this hatch. Don't want to jinx the hatch...but there potentially could be FBCM chicks from a mom and dad that came from pawtraitart originally...(raised by Blujems)..nice dark eggs....then Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucana's (only a few of those eggs) that are from the same stock that we got at chickenstock last year (from Azriel originally) ..then there are 4 eggs that the mom is Cuckoo Marans ( IFA hatchery stock) and the dad is a blue wheaten Am....those are the ones I am dying to see, they will be EE's that should be light olive or green eggers..and I am HOPING for puffy cheeks! I wonder if they will be barred or wheaten colored? And lastly a couple more EE's from a blue wheaten roo over a non standard color Ameraucana/EE that is goldish in color.....that mom lays big ole green eggs. Should be a fun mix of babies. I have also set some more of the cuckoo marans/blue wheaten eggs (6 more) to hatch in 2 weeks, and they all are developing so crossing fingers. The cuckoo mom lays really nice sized eggs. They are medium tan so I would not expect the offspring to lay dark olive..maybe light olive or greenish..just guessing here...
I still have 2 showgirls for sale also. They are getting bigger, 3 weeks old, $6 ea...
(madchicken, sundance..holler if you want one!)
So about Thursday I will post pics of whatever I have to bring and if anyone wants one that can meet me somewhere on the way from Logan to Murray Saturday morning, between 10 and noon, let me know.

In other news....
Cynthia, my blue splash Un NN just made a weak attempt at crowing :/ haha naughty boy. And there are some serious pointy black feathers coming in the saddle area. Neck feathers getting very thin and spindly. That boy is going to be GORGEOUS. But not very girlie lol!
I better get to finding a new home for him too ! He is getting really big, he might make a good dinner for somebody...but he is the sweetest thing I can't eat him no way. If anybody down south wants him..think chicken train...free rooster...

I have had free time this morning, I wanted to share some pictures of the Three Musketeers' progress
You know how dandelions look when they go to seed? These guys are shedding their baby fuzz so when you blow on them you get the same results lol
They are getting some serious feathered feet going on. There is something about these things that just melts my heart

Wow Lisa, those chicks are so cute.
I am excited to see the chicks, hope sparkles hatch for ya.
Finally managed to take some pics of the chicks....They have been kind of neglected with everything going on so they are very jumpy and don't like me messing with them. One is lighter than the other 2 and all 3 seem to have good feathering on the legs.

Have you tried feather sexing the wings? Any ideas what you have for genders? I love penguin suits.

Because of the weather I have decided I don't have a place for the showgirl. If you can keep her a bit longer I will take her. Let me know what babies you get I would love a couple of FBCM pullets. I would also love to have an olive egg layer
