Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Okay, these Easter Eggers have got to go. Either somebody comes and picks them up this week or I'm going to cull them.

They viciously attacked one of my peachicks. I had felt bad for them being in a small cage waiting to get sold so I put them in the coop with the growout chicks and the pea chicks. They attacked my purple boy that didn't sell yesterday. Tore his head up. Poor thing is a bloody mess. I've got him cleaned up and I hope he'll recover. But those easter eggers are gone or dead this week.

Ugh, so sorry!!

Off with their heads!!

My mom flies in from OR tomorrow. You cant even walk into the brooder ... er... guest bedroom. I don't even have a mattress in there. I guess I better go, but I'm stalling. DM is one of those mean, angry old people with zero sense of humor... God help me!!! Please send Xanax (or a hitman) to me at;

Torture Town, USA.

So when did you need me there???

I do wanna crack one just to see if I can tell if they are fertile. I may have to post a pic. And let you all tell me. Lol.

Something about seeing a little duckie face coming out of the egg in my hand and opening their little eyes and looking up at me for the first time. . .geesh I better not ever hatch chickens I don't wanna stop eating eggs forever. lol

Understand.... it doesn't affect me the same with chicks though... crack one and take a pic...

A saint. I learned my lesson with the first.

Don't we all?

My girl that started laying didn't seem to care about her eggs. That's alright though I didn't want babies now anyway. She laid five. I brought them in and put in fridge. . . .
I don't think I can eat them though. Lol
Thought I could but every time I see them in there it kinda makes my tummy sick thinking of it. Guess I'll just throw them away.

I made brownies with a couple call eggs last week. Now i have a customer. I'm setting 30 eggs, as soon as my hatcher heats up, so i can transfer the ones that are hatching now. Wish i had the 2 back from the brownies!

Oh, and i stole Lexi's 7 eggs to add to my set. She can lay more in a better spot if she wants.

Care package headed your way! Pronto!

Sounds like a case for Mr. G - the official saviour of the universe

Fear not, I'll have it there in a flash

load up the lilly pads and float em on over!

Those woods reminds me of a movie my kids used to watch. "The legend of fever swamp". About a werewolf.

Gee thanks! Good thing i never walk out there unarmed!

WHAT no room on the broom for dear mother?!?
Do you want the Xanax for yourself or you going to slip it to d m? Lol

My first wife was like that. Give her one beer and it's make her half tight. Give her two beers and it's make her ... Well never mind

I don't see nothin

 

[WVduckchick]

View attachment 1149904 I don't see nothin

roll it around till you find the white dot. The dot is where we can tell if fertile or not. Depends if the dot is tiny or bullseyed

 

[shawluvsbirds]

I think I see it now but it is really really faint. Bullseye means fertile right?

That's the dot, right? Not fertile...

 

[WVduckchick]

x2. Doesn't look fertile to me either

Some don't brood, and some wait til they're older... it's connected to lines from what I have seen... LG has super strong broody instincts, she started laying at 5 months, sitting at 7 months and is currently on her 3rd or 4th clutch of the year...
And she passes it on to most of her daughters/granddaughters, etc...

ETA: I feel same about the eggs... see if you can give them away?



Rest well, feel better!

Feeling much better now!!Lol had good long much needed nap!

Dunno how keen he is on the headaches, but ya gotta take the rough with the smooth

So true!

Took some pics of the ducks today. Shaw, this is the vinyl pool I was talking about. The drain is on the bottom, i moved it from where we had it with the big ducks, the calls weren't using it until i enticed them into it today. This thing has frozen and thawed many times over the last 2 years

Spoiler: call duck pics

excuse the dirt on the outside. The ducks don't seem to mind. Lol
