Just skiimming through the Fleet Farm and and stumbled across this incubator. Not a bad price for this one. Although I like my hovabators but I paid about $70 more for them.

MLH put the radio in with them. Tune it to a station that plays songs like. The Bunny hop-s into the pot and My bunny lies over the roaster. Thought when I first started reading that, you got bit. Apyl hang in there! Had to re-sight the varmint rifle, scope was loose. Be afraid be very very afraid! I see more bad news on the store bought chicken front. Just gave 2 doz eggs to a friend yesterday She said I don't need that many. Then I showed her the poult eggs included. She said ok ya maybe.

Have been getting 6 a day now since their diet started. Think that will improve. Have to go out a put a finish coat on the board I cut this morning to completely seal the run.

FT: Glad to hear the abusive horse owners are being charged!!!

Cind: So glad your kittens are ok!!!

BabyLady: I think the booth at the City Picnic is a perfect idea....and a wy to recruit newbies too!

BBP: Sorry to hear about the meat birds. It does seem as if chicken chores never end do they? I finally put the newest chicks out in my coop brooder last night-one less chore before work in the mornings. By the way-when are you coming over to see them?

Terri O: What do you use for the GF cheesecake crust? How did they turn out?



What age do you think its usually a given which sex your chicks are? 12 wks 16 wks? I have 3 that I am uncertain on and would really like to try and find homes (if roos) before the fall when everyone is trying to get rid of roo chicks. 10-12 wks old now

I have to say out of the 9 new breeds I have added. My Light Brahma has continued to be the most adorable-and also the loudest!!! My sussex, cochin, and GL Wyandottes are sure friendly lil ones too! High strung-Lt Brahma & S Faverolle. Most laid back-GL Wyandotte and Sussex. friendliest Banty cochin. My Lav Orps are hard to compare as they are hen raised but they sure on beautiful! And still not sure what the deal is with Susie the mottled Lav Orp.

Just resting for a moment and catching up!

DrH. My bunny lies over the roaster!?!

ROFLOL!!! That was funny right there! Actually so far I have not been bit. I've been kicked at time or two and that hurts like hoolies. The does do like to sniff my toes and nibble on my jeans though....

Ang-Tiki is right. It depends on age and breed. Even how dominant the are can have an effect on growth. Post some pics and we can help. One way is to listen to them. Roosters usually have a deeper "voice".

Kristi-you said the babies were 15 weeks? Lets see that';s 3 1/2 months right? They should be fine on layer. Ideally you'd feed started until the lay but in this case you are fine switching them since they are old enough to handle the added calcium. It can get really technical as to when a baby can and cannot have calcium and at what age. That is why it is easier to feed starter until they start to lay for most people. But in reality a pullet can have layer earlier then POL and not have any issues.

FT-That is an awesome price for a incubator with a turner. Unless your Jim. Then you can build one that is even more awesome with spare parts from all sorts of things for free. And still have 125% hatch rate! LOL!

Well the dogs want in and those that are in want out....
Later!

ETA: Congrats on the hatch Ken!!

That is a pretty horse FT.

KEN Seramas normally hatch early? Maybe they knocked the o ther ones around and got them going too. YeaY!!! Chickies!

Caught our Police Chief this morning (and missed the UW meeting).... he told me that as long as I was making an effort to re-home the ducks he would be kind. He also told me there were other like-minded people in town and that I need to present to board with information, a sample or ordinances from other communities, and sample ordinance for our town, examples of fines if people do NOT adhere to the ordinance as stated.... I was pleasantly surprised with his attitude and all his help!

So for right now the ducks are here...... and I need to eat dinner.

 

[MustLoveHens]

BL4-That is good news! Maybe your police chief is a closet chicken lover and wants to have a small flock of his own.

Good luck with the info gathering!

Evening To All...yep I agree that sounded good bl4...I think with enough valuable information for the city board to swallow they will have to make a change...good luck, sorry you missed the meeting.

Just made it home from the meeting at Camp. Final invoice for the new well and pump was discussed...total bill came to $6388.22...more than we expected....now we should be go to go with the water in the future....broke our checkbook, but we were blessed to have just enough to cover the cost....no more problems for awhile we are all hoping and praying...we are so thankful we had the funds.

We talked about maybe taking another row of trees behind where everyone parks their campers around the circle....some folks said that it was hard to back them far enough back....we are still undecided on the issue. Prolly will in the future....everyones campers aeem to be getting longer.

Another water run today....Need some rain for sure....beets look really go though and so do the beans.

Jennie wants to go to Iola Old Car Show tomorrow, so me and her are gonna make at least a half day of it. The shelter at Camp is named the Carl Keller shelter...he will be at the car show....he holds the guiness record for the person who has owned a new car the longest....He has a showroom looking Packard that he drives every summer to shows and places...I know the year of the car...now if I could only remember....LOL
