When one of our hens started doing the humping thing, isolating her for about 10 days did the trick.

Let her hump...what is the problem ?


somebody's gotta do it !

so I picked up a hanging feeder from Wilco yesterday, and I put it out in the coop this morning, and you would've thought I threw a pack of coyotes in there or something with how bad all my girls freaked out. What a bunch of

And speaking of boats. Why didn't Noah swat them 2 fly's when he had the chance ???

Okay, I just answered my own question about staggered hatches. Not all of us are as cool as VF having two incubators - one for incubating and the other for hatching.

(maybe someday!)
If I had just gotten out of my own way I would have realized that when I go into lockdown this week that I'll be unplugging the turner and since it's LOCKDOWN, won't be able to turn the newest eggs if I put them in the 'bator.

So my little cochin eggs and my gf's Ameraucana eggs will just "chill" in the garage for the next 6 days or so until my current chicks hatch. And I'm pretty obsessive careful about turning my hatching eggs until they go into the incubator so all should be good.

Last year I had a single Ameraucana egg that Pips&Peeps had given me at the show that the hen I purchased had laid on the way over. I carried that egg in my pocket, then in my car cup holder home from Monroe, then turned it for a full 10 days while I waited for the new Ameraucana to hatch any more fertile eggs. I finally gave up on her, popped that poor little egg in the 'bator with some of zgoatlady's wheaten Marans eggs and I'll be darned if that little beauty wasn't the first to pip, zip, and hatch.

She was my little miracle baby until I gave the chicks to my gf and her Silkie terrier got in the grow out coop and killed 5 of the chicks, including my miracle baby.

Me too -- not much more relaxing than sitting in a chair tossing scratch to my birds.
