YO GEORGIANS! :)

400


Wonder how many eggs Mama Mallard will lay in all?
 
Well I was given chocolate and more chocolate along with peeps, like that stuff isn't going to go straight to the hips.
Oh yeah. for me, straight to the lower belly. The madeleines + the carton of icecream this week = I look 4 months pregnant. LOL

So, I told DH that i want to do the Ultimate Reset we did together a couple years ago. I need a hardcore kick in the butt. It's a 21 day detox and although it's really difficult to get through, I lost 15 pounds and I don't think I've ever felt that good before. My GERD was completely gone, my thyroid was balanced, Zero allergies that year, my skin was clear. And same for DH. I remember when we did it, it was really expensive and I thought he'd veto it. But, he did it with me to be supportive and ended up liking it even better than I did. He's been saying all along he wanted to do it yearly, but I was hesitant. Now, I feel like something's gotta give. I think we're gonna do it in a couple of weeks. Not sure if I'm mentally ready for it like I was last time. It was rough by the time we got to the last week. worth it, totally.
 
Crested Cream Legbars just out of the incubator. I'm really surprised to have this many hatch. The box the eggs came in looked like it had rolled down Stone Mountain and when I candled them the air pockets were torn down the sides on most of them. Most all were fertile and the veins would start on the non torn side of the air pocket but when they reached the dipped down place they quit. I don't think Ill try shipped eggs again unless they come up with a better way to ship. Anyway I'm happy to have these.

Just candled. Two of my mystery duck eggs are definitely on track for hatching at the end of next week. The BO egg was too dark for me to make out anything. The Cochin egg didn't look promising but Bob said they have a high fertility rate so i left it and then i had one other duck egg that looks like it just stopped growing which is fully possible because i gave the BO egg and one duck egg to a broody who couldn't decide which nest she preferred so i took them away from her mid hatch.
 
I just amputated little sweet chicks leg. Bleeding stopped quickly. Now just have to watch for infection. She doesn't like her bandage at all! She's so tiny but is two weeks old. Send her your prayers!

2-3 males and 4-5 females? Am i seeing that correctly?
 
Rooster Booster Triple Action wormer says there is no egg withdrawal time on egg layers. Mix the entire can in 50 lbs of feed and feed them until feed is gone (4-5 days) Amazon has it.

Also, found a wormer that is suppose to kill all internal parasites in chickens. But, you have to put one or two drops of the stuff in the chickens mouth. Supposedly only one day egg withdrawal. It's called Worminator and it's made in England. You can find it at Hake's Twin City Poultry Supply. www.twincitypoultrysupplies.com/store I got some at the Newnam Poultry show. I haven't used it yet because I had just used the Rooster Booster One.
if you're going through 50 lbs of feed every 4 or 5 days, I hope you're selling LOTS of eggs.........
