good afternoon,, I have just over 3 dozen chicken eggs ready to go into the bator.. am just waiting in case there will be a couple more from the coop yet today ..

I found a possible supplier of Buff Orp eggs, just a few miles from my house.. might be only a couple of dozen per week, but every little bit helps to fill the incubator.. $3.oo/doz

I have another call in to a different person from Marathon, too..

by the 14th of May, I should have some chicks hatching from the first batch ..

I went out to change the hose on Ollie.. wrong size threads.. but on the bright side of things. while I was out there, the SUN CAME OUT !!!!!!!!!

The what?! Don't believe I remember what that "S" word is. It has been so long since I've seen or heard of it. Send some this way plz. Just headed out to let the "kids" stretch their legs a bit.

The lamed one inside seems to be doing a bit better now of course that I posted something but wow has it gotten attached to me. Jesh. And I thought the kids were bad.

Send the sun.....

Just getting used to the peace and quiet while kids are at school and now I have kittens crying and a chick a squawking. Calgon!

Jim! JIM!! I GOT A QUESTION!!'

There, I think he heard me. What kind of animal can beat up a goose? I opened up the door on the outbuilding today. Georgie sometimes goes in there instead of all the way into the coop. (The coop is built into this same building). Something beat her up pretty good last night. Her beak is all scratched up, her tail feathers were all bloody, her feet were bloody. Poor Georgie!!!

Cloudy but sun peaking afternoon!
After a morning of first fog with clouds and then the sun mostly out til bout 1pm it was actually nice. Then the rain came back, light as it was. Evidently it stopped raining and even now the sun is trying real hard to get through the clouds. Oh how good a feeling to know she's still out there!

The duck eggs in the hatcher are probably dead. Had one this morning, rolling around and cracked the shell. This afternoon when I checked it, it had a membrane over both nostrils. Obviously dead. But at least a pheasy chicks is trying to make its way out!

Had opened the gate of the duck enclosure this morning... And OMG! I have NEVER seen my ducks run that fast anywhere! They raced each other down to our "lake" and played there most of the day. A mallard and his female keep coming to visit every now and then too. So cool to see the wild ducks consider it safe enough here to land.

I do have a question: when getting shipped eggs and the air sac is (not all the way) detached do you still put the egg in the bator? No, we don't keep our eggs in cartons to incubate just the egg turner and then without in the hatcher. Would it work or better not even try?
