    Queen Of The Lilliputianss Page

    Hi! My name is Meghan and I live in Beautiful Pittston, Maine with my wonderful Hubby Eddie and our two children: Ethan is 6 and having a GREAT time in Kindergarten (and currently wants to know how tar is made, so send me an e-mail if you know), and Riley is adorable and 3. I am SO VERY lucky...

    No bator

    Haven't gotten quite as brave as you. My group doesn't smell yet, so they are still in. I did do a massive, and somewhat depressing, search here and on other forums.. and found posts where eggs didn't hatch until day 25. Since that's where I'm at, I'm sitting through one last day for them...

    what age do you put your chicks outside

    Ya got me there, PC. (where's the blushing smiley when you need it?) I did let them run around the house for awhile, but with no chicken diapers, cleaning up the poop was starting to feel like a full-time job! Meghan

    egg eating

    I was told by a farmer to cull any hen who ate an egg. He didn't think they could be stopped, either. I have had my girls eat a softshell that was in the nest once, though (I knew because it was slimy, and there was some slime on a few of the other eggs). Never had one intentionally break and...

    what age do you put your chicks outside

    I still have my 'chicks' taking up space in my laundry room (they are ... lessee... 14wks now) LOL! But.. in my defense it is still very cold here. High temps in day sometimes not above freezing. Lows occasionally in single digits or even below zero... And I just like to see their cute...

    New pics of the 8 babies,

    I think they look like mini-chickens at that age! Great looking group... all except those turkens. LOL! Just kidding.. even those are cute at that age, with their little friar tuck 'dos. Meghan

    oh man ((UPDATE= OH MAN! Phone and silkie conspiracy!))

    Ok.. just attempted to make sense of this thread.. and realized there was really no sense to be made. Just a shot in the dark here... but I'm thinking brain injury. Hurry, use that phone and call someone to take you to the hospital! Meghan

    Ok guys, its a bantam hen...

    Sorry, too much of a newbie to identify. But had to pipe up and tell you she's BEEE-U-TI-FUL! LOVE the lacing! Meghan

    I'm gonna try it again

    Good luck to you! My hatches have been horrible, too, so after the current group has passed their due date (2 more days... trying to hold onto hope), I'm giving it up for awhile. It's just so heartbreaking when nothing makes it. How did you get the previous batches of eggs? Shipped...

    Does anyone know what this is ?

    No offense here, but wow that's one sad looking plant! And I can say that because I've killed more plants than most nurseries SELL. Meghan

    Things your hometown is famous for . . . .

    Umm.. nothing. LOL! We have the Village Archery store... they make pretty good pizza. Does that count? And I think the owner knows us by name. There is only one other store in town. We love it here, though Meghan

    The Peeps are here...some bad news. -UPDATE-I am at a loss...HELP! :o(

    Ok, Pedro, just finished reading the thread. Wow, this is heartbreaking! I just can't imagine. I'd be a crying mess. I'm so sorry that you've had to go through this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of your babies (and especially the little ones who are still struggling.). I...

    The Peeps are here...some bad news. -UPDATE-I am at a loss...HELP! :o(

    Gotta go back and read all the posts, but did you try sugar water? I've heard that's a great way to perk them up. I still have to read this thread though.. so forgive me if I am WAY off base. Just wanted to suggest it in case you hadn't tried. Meghan

    I bought a buck.

    Wow that was rude! OTOH, congrats on your new boy! Can't wait to see pics!!! I want a few, but dh says NO WAY... ah well. Someday I'll find a few that need rescuing ... or maybe I'll just say they wandered into the yard and CAN'T WE KEEP THEM.. LOL! And oh.. btw, I want PICTURES...

    stupid mean hen!!!

    ARG! My hen did that last fall. I think she was really pecking at my ring but she drew blood. I was SO MAD. She pecked me another time after that, so got some 'tough love' (I did a kill-'em-with-kindness, and carried her struggling self around the yard). She was headed for soup for a...

    My Best Hatch Yet!! Woo-Hoo!

    Adorable! Wow, that looks like a lot of babies to me (I've had 10 max at one time, LOL!) Very cute.

    Moral Dilemma-Chicken

    I agree with Spotted.. especially if there is a wing-draggy dance involved (although I've heard they don't always dance). That's how my roo grabs the girls. He dances a bit around, dragging a wing. Then grabs by the back of the neck and mounts. Looks mean, but the hens squat for him, so I...

    Mental Preparation For Processing
