Geez you guys have to stay off of here don't you know I'm hatching! bl4 glad you like the crust! I've never come across one better. H&R good day for cooking, was thinking I should do some too but I'm busy

Sf glad your feeling better and hope your hatch goes well!

That dang duckling is soo cute, nice pic! OK now back to ME! Beeker has left the building [shell] and is now being a holy terror makin laps in the bator, well nearly. Jims high moisture method works great she wasn't out 15 minutes and was totally detached. She has her head up and cheering on the latest egg to zip there are now 4 on the way. Gotta go eat and scold Beeker for being so rambunkeous.

I was going through the eggs in bator #1 to see if any were due to go to the hatcher.. transferred 3 and found one empty guinea shell.. found the little buggar way at the bottom of the bator, none the worse for wear.. he is sitting on my lap until I go upstairs and put him into the chick TV.. have a goose egg pipped.. no snow here unless it started since I came down to the basement..

DrH, lotsa ducks (muscovy) in the freezer and a few geese, too.. I have (38) 4 week old egg/meat chicks.. the roosters will be the meat birds. some are Plymouth barred rocks and the rest are a cross of my Barred rooster and Red Star laying hens..
He is an awesome big bird..

I am setting just the Barred rock eggs daily now for a week or so more..

I am torn.. I was going to go heavy to the Delawares this year. But now I have that nice flock of Barred rocks (5 hens) with the big Rooster..

how the he!! is a person supposed to cut down on the flock size when this type of stuff keeps happening..??

Not to mention the Javas on the way..

I have Delawares and javas set also..

SF glad your feeling better and your duck is adorable!

DrH beeker... cute!

Everyone is hatching so much I can't remember what you are hatching.

jvls ducks, guineas, geese, chickens... whew... lotsa birds! Enough to make a person downright jealous!!

Sorry to hear it's snowing there again. Hard to believe that it's nearing the end of April and folks in that area of the country are still getting snow!! Like the idea about roasting a turkey and turning on the Christmas lights! Sounds very festive!

Easy Jim, help me build up my flock size

I'm thinking a tractor full of Dellies for the freezer, maybe keep a trio to hatch my own meaties.

Weren't we just talking about how many times its allowed to snow on the robins??? THis is the 3rd time, so it is with mathematical and scientific certainty that it cannot snow again until at least November, preferably December. Grass is all covered here already...

Snowy Afternoon All. We have the Christmas lights going! We leave a strand in the kitchen and another in the bathroom for night lights. Enough light to see and cheap to run.

Suppose to call a turkey for my friend from fondy tomorrow. We put it on hold til thursday. Gonna wait and see how much white stuff we get.

Fired up the wood boiler....man the heat feels good! Hope the hatches continue to go good. My 2 week old fluff butts are really looking good. Wish I could remove the insulated cover for viewing long term. Come on Spring....

Later ~ bigzio

 

[Dr HaHa]

Bigzio go show him how it's done AGAIN! I have bad news Beeker didn't make it. IDK! The other 4 are still zippin. One is a rocker so that blows my stupid theory. Seriously considering ending my bateing after this hatch.
