Well since I've been a Gordon fan back when he run sprint cars I figured it was good luck they give me 24?!White Morning To All....yep...same GOOD LUCK to you huntress. I'll be hunting prolly no matter what. I have a busy week otherwise, and would like to get lucky right away wed.
I agree that the hens will be fertile for 10 days after the roo is removed....you are prolly good to go with just collecting eggs....depending how many you need.
I voted for #24 too...that's just wrong voting for Jeff Gordon (race car guy) LOL! Good Luck sclark.
Sure is pretty awful looking outside again....I hate white and will never have a white vehicle...ever.
Venzun roast with fresh carrots and red spuds in the dutch oven...wth....should be grilling ...not more comfort food. Didn't we just live on that for the past 5 months?
Cabin Fever Yet.... bigz
Sometimes a male will check for hardness in eggs too..he wants them to nest and make babys too.letting them together after the eggs have been collected for the day will help. Add crushed egg shells in the grass to peck at. (in the snow)Good snowy morning all!
You all have been so helpful to me I thought I'd see if any of you have run across this issue that I've never dealt with before...an egg eating rooster. I set up a breeder pen last week with a young rooster, pullet and hen. The first few days there were 2 eggs in the nest then Friday there were none...I didn't inspect the nest because I just thought the girls took the day off. Saturday I heard the roo making his 'come eat' call from the nest...saw a broken egg but thought it was an accident. Well, yesterday I watched him wait for one of the girls to lay, then break the egg and call to them! This morning there was another 'wet egg spot' in the nest when I got out there.
Any suggestions as to how I can get him to stop this or protect the eggs till I can collect them?
Bigz, good luck this week! My tag is for this season too but if it doesn't quit snowing I might not even go out.
Voted this morning Sclark...good luck!!
Hi All!
yep, we got snow too.... the girls are going to be so p!ssed!!!
Watched the Blood moon.... rather cool, but long!
Made 5# of German Potato Salad.... time for bed!
Night All!
Dis gust ing. Yeah, snow here, too. Thhhhrrrppptt.
Last night's thunderstorm somehow got to the outside extension cord, threw the breaker to the outside circuit. Wouldn't have been so bad, but that circuit also runs the garage where my chick brooders currently reside. Woke up to a stack of chicks peeping their displeasure and 4 that are now snake food that got too chilled. Really wish I had separate electricity to my coops.
Just checked my little snowflake bobwhite quail eggs while moving other eggs out to the hatcher. They're 5 days in on shipped eggs, saw at least half showing distinct red veining, woot! Got some live ones cooking in there.
Heading to bed to burrow under 3 blankets, think I'll just skip tomorrow (I wish! Have to drive up to Grafton for the next two days, not looking forward the haul.)
We got 2.5 inches here and still snowing
