You know, im good with chicken addition, but also chicken subtraction. Libby got put down today.
Later gators!

Not very good in the patience dept., though, are you? Didn't you just start Libby on antibiotics yesterday? It takes more than 24 hours to clear anything up.
Sorry your hatch didn't go well.

Here's what I'm bringing to the bash. It will scare the b g b's out of the kids. School on the weekend !!! They had better behave or else they will be going for a ride !!!

$9800??????????? What kind of shrooms did they find in the woods?

Full basement refers to the storage capacity underneath.

So Bf4, where's the pics of your new ride????

Well it's official... This hatch is over. I candled this morning. No movement. I knew it! So I crack them open I had one more duck pip internally but not externally. Same thing with a chick. All the rest quit close to, or during lockdown. P!sses me right off! I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. They grow really well up until lockdown. Then they die! I do dry incubation. Then I bring the humidity up to 75-85% for lock down, and they die.

So now I have to break the news to Mazo and Twizzle. They were going to take my extras.

I decided to pick up a few other duckling to keep mine company. They are mutt ducks, Cayuga and Buff. Totally not as cute as my baby. But at least he's not a lonely duck anymore.

Then I felt bad for the only chick and brought her home some friends. Three Ameraucaunas (they are just EEs I'm sure.) but right now they have fluffy faces so I'm hopeful they'll keep them.

You know, im good with chicken addition, but also chicken subtraction. Libby got put down today.

Later gators!

Well, I just had a nice long post replying to your post !!! Lost it among other things !! Somethings years ago other just today !!

As far as bators go, None are allowed at the Bash, Did you hear that Jim !!!!

Only Incu Bators !!!

Bigf4m sorry you lost Libby, Maybe for the best in case is was contagious. Still not easy !!

Glad you found some ducky pals and chicky pals for your babies.
I had more to say but lost it and now I have to go out and help with the fence. Better late then never right?

Will post more later.

Ok, You buy the bus and give me that camper you just bought !!!


Full basement !!!

Shows you how much I know about camper lingo. Now horse and chicken lingo I speak, maybe not fluently but as least I can figure it out.

Ok now I'm going outside. Oh and Bigfm4m I had 5 or 6 (cr) shipped muscovys due to hatch to day. At lockdown, nothing. A few days before that they were going strong. I'm not holding my breath.

What kind of bator do you have. I know it's not a master. Is is a Genesis Hovabator? I would follow the manufacturers directions next time. I have the best hatches when I do that and other then adding water, set and forget !!!

Ok bye for now !!

BBP: Ugh! Who did the hawk get??? Sorry

What other chicks do they have at the store right now? All 3 eggs from you had movement and first pip mark. I moved one under Deliliah. Not sure how this is all going to work out. I had Thelma out in the run with the others while I held her chicks...Petunia-the lil banty went after mom...and then Donny jumped in and chased Thelma off-WTH? I need to get her and the babies out with the rest fo the flock somehow...and now I have 2 more moms/3 chicks coming along. Any advice on how to make them "just all get along?"

Anyone know if dwarf burning bushes are poisonous to chickens?

EDIT: the web is saying that both dwarf burning bush and clematis are posionous to chickens....plants I bought of in and around their run Yet reading and others say they have them and the chickens leave them alone. SO any recommendations for nice looking bush that would offer some shade?

Oh, I meant to mention to anyone that wants a good deal on chick starter, duck starter or grower pellets (Prince) Sorry MLH

or a really good deal on Layer mash ($8.65 per 50lbs) if you're coming to the bash Bigzios feed store isn't to far away. (Not actually Bigzios store but where he shops)
I have to take inventory and see what I need. Plus I have to assess the money situation. As long as I'm down that way I may as well get a good price.
I don't think they are open on Saturdays though are they Bigz?

We might come down for Friday night (Just to give Heather a hard time) so I could get the food first. Then I'd have to bring the truck though. Unless I get the camper. Wow, nothing like waiting for the last minute to figure things out.

Bigfam, i'll glue razor blades to the lilac branches !!! Plant them a tree to climb in and tell them that is alot more manly to climb a tree then a flowering tree !!! LOL

OK now I have to go. The feed store is called Magee's and is locatedd in Embarass WI just sayin.

My chickens eat my clematis and no one has died. I also have burning bush and they don't touch it. The hawk took one of the older babies. I'm pretty sure it was a rooster. My call duck also lost one of her babies yesterday so now she's in a cage with the remaining one. We have Pullets: special blacks, browns (red sex links), Straight run: bantam cochins and OEGB in a few different colors. The browns and blacks are getting a little old to shove under a hen. They have been there since Tuesday.

Hey all
Busy day here so I just got caught up. Can't remember what to comment on!! DH and I hit the Edgerton garage sales since we were having out city wide sales event. Some sales were great others were not. Then came home and mowed the lawn.

We are planning of going to see that new Johnny Depp movie Dark Shadows tonight in Stoughton. Dinner and a movie at the little Cinema Cafe they have. Hopefully I can stay awake through it. BTB and Ichabod were absolutely wired last night and the kitchen was their play ground. Kept me up half the night.outta one thing and into 20!

Well, I'd best be off to change into clothes that are not grass encrusted...
Have a great night!
