Hi everyone!

 

[DwayneNLiz]

There's a seam on the bottom just inside the door that catches everything... as for a hatcher, only small batches work well... otherwise you have to make your own special shelves and be careful opening the door... really the Genesis makes a better hatcher all around... and if you line the whole bottom across the wire mesh with the gripper shelf liner, cleaning it out is super easy...

hmmm, someone just offered me a free styro, i wonder what it was....

Hey, I never said Liz could post my pic online!!

The little chick I had to help out is doing well, getting stronger. Its foot is still a little weird from being malpositioned but that'll fix itself over time.

In other news, I went to the other house and my cousin, who is renting it for really cheap as a favor, broke the one rule I gave her - don't let your dog run loose. It's a Rottweiler, it's never seen chickens before, we don't know if it will go after them, it needs to be in a pen or on a tie out. I pull into the driveway and it comes barreling at me, barking all the while. Now, I'm not afraid of her so I still got out of my car, but I was steaming mad. I told you not to let the dog loose. That's the one thing I asked. You've lived there for three days and you've already broken that rule.

Luckily the chickens were all holed up in their coops because of the snow, which is probably why she thought it was okay, but it wasn't. I told you to keep your dog contained, you keep your dog contained. That's it.

glad it is doing better, and i hope your cousin figures out that you meant what you said!

My young chicken integration didn't go to well. Two out of three did okay but the runt was scalped by the hens. The runt was a chick Mrs. Oz rescued at hatch. She's a little special in the short bus kinda way. They had been okay until today when she checked on them at lunch. No open wounds but feathers are gone. Looks pretty gross but she seems okay. Mrs. Oz treated with BlueKote and we'll dose with Penicillin when we get home.

I'm sorry Oz. I'm still amazed at how ruthless hens can be.
I just found out that the cute little silkied Serama rooster that I sold over the weekend died today. No clue as to why. I'm quite heartbroken.

that stinks

Wikipedia is not a reliable source for anything... j/s...

not at all

meet the residents pre-existing kunekunes of the pond

i still want them! Too bad my trailer is under a bunch of snow and there is a 12' snowbank in front of it

Not a thing wrong with that!

cuties!! Aren't they the coolest zippers?

I have 9 out (8 seramas, 1 cochin), a bunch more pips... some beautiful chicks. Worried about one serama that pipped and hasn't zipped yet, but I'm giving it a few more hours. I think 3 of 15 seramas haven't pipped yet. Only a few of the cochins and chocolates have pipped, but I'm not worried about them yet. Knew the seramas would be first.

My babies make such pretty babies!

This one is really interesting

what is this one?

Believe me, I'll be setting again soon, no matter if I deny it.... I seem to be an egg magnet.

There seems to be more than just you at that game

. Rav claims that her ducks choose to lay in her incubator

thats a good one! i need to use it!

1. Greenfire chicks are here

2. I have a call duckling mostly hatched, still absorbing yolk

3. My eBay Swedish flower eggs, 8 made it to lockdown and have either internally or externally pipped

4. I have birds sold and leaving this week

WOOHOOOO!!!!

awwww, c'mon little baby

I order 8 pullets and 2 cockerels. They sent 9 pullets and 3 cockerels

They had 2 heat packs and chick starter to ship. One of the best shipping experience a I've had

Those are very pretty!!

Hi everyone!

Hey you!

what is this one?

Its a Serama. I'll have to look back at my notes, but I'm guessing it came from one of my white girls' eggs.

I will say I was pleasantly surprised from all the bad things I have heard about them in their shipping. Now we'll see about the health of their chicks over the next few days.

Hi everyone!

Kathy!

I did give the chicks my normal 4 times the recommended dosage of Agri Labs vitamin electrolytes Plus. The first time I ever did that was by accident and it actually saved three chicks that I know we're destined to die over the first week. I swear by that stuff

He really is a good looking bird-I just wish his back was shorter!
