Aw. Well, good to know, in a way, that it wasn't just mine this year. Sorry you lost yours, though! Yikes. Dang owl! Hm, well, if you have any spare ducklings this year, I'd love to take them off your hands. :) If not, I'll just poke around for some at swap days hehe.

Thank you, very much appreciated. Nope, that was the saddest part for me..I lost all my precious calls. I'm heartbroken!

Oh shoot! I'm so sorry I'm just seeing this after a month! Yep, still alive, Mandy! Hehe. And still as poultry-addicted as ever! Sad news, actually, last winter we lost a few chickens to the cold, but no ducks. So I got it in my head they were really cold-hardy. This winter so far, I've only...

Haven't checked in for awhile. First and foremost... Congrats Mandy!!! :woot Ahem..this pic-heavy post was brought to you by Naked Neck Addicts 'R Us. I just wanted to show off my new featherkids from Wells Hill Farm in Isonville, KY. 2 hour drive each way, and cost me a small fortune that...

Well darn, you had to be within driving distance of me. :lol: I really don't *need* more roos, BUT.. would you care to PM me pics if you get time? :hide

I've been contemplating getting a Great Pyr so I can let the feather kids free-range safely. Haven't decided whether it's a good idea or not yet. Let us know how it goes with Mr. Bojangles?

Oh goodness! Sounds like OSU was quite a blessing. So glad he pulled through. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate! Will be praying for you. Well hello! And thank you! My hubby is actually with the 130th Airlift Wing NG out of Charleston, WV (long drive!). My dad, though, just retired out...

Oh my! Praying for a speedy recovery! And for you, I know that's gotta be rough on you too. I could use prayer for myself and hubby, too. He left Tuesday for military training (which I know will be stressful on him) and I'll basically be a single parent for 7-8 months. :( And now I'm feeling...

That's awful, Eleisha. :( What kind of lowlife would do such a nasty thing.. Anyone who sucks the joy out of chicken-raising should be strung by their toes and have a few angry roosters sic'd on them.. or, you know, a pellet gun might do the trick. I wish I could help, but that's too far a drive...

I had my first baby successfully incubated and hatched by a broody hatch out today! My brahma hatched it, but freaked out and abandoned it after it hatched, so I gave it to the broody NN. She's being a great mommy. Not sure who the baby actually belongs to yet, but it's a bantam with feathered...

On another note, I have 3 silly broody hens now. Makes gathering eggs to ship out early next week for a swap nigh impossible..the little hoarders. Yesterday while Archibald (NN hen) left her nest for a water run, I watched Honey (Buff Brahma bantam) roll a few of Archie's eggs a few inches away...

:hugs Yeah, I guess they thought it was better to lose a customer than dish out a mere 40 bucks in store credit. I've heard good things about a few others (we actually almost ordered a bunch of polish from Cackle, but ran out of moolah), but I'm afraid to mail-order again. :hide Maybe I can keep...

Awww, that's so cute about the little chick joining the others! Glad momma finally accepted it! And nope, I don't think Colonel ever gave me babies. Not that I know of, at least. I never saw him mounting, but I did hatch out a black silkie chick last week that could be either his or Romeo's.

Aw , sorry about your bad hatch. I know it's so frustrating waiting impatiently for nearly a month for nothing to come of it. That's funny. I prefer to incubate because I haven't had a single broody be able to hatch out eggs so far. Of course, I've only had hens go broody about a half-dozen...

Ooh. That would be great, if you do have extras. I'll get back with you around then and see how it goes. That's going to be a hectic time since we're going to be working willy-nilly to get things done (like my extended poultry run *cough* *pointed glare in DH's general direction*) before Gary...

Another update. Meyer emailed me today and said they'd only give me credit for the 2 that died the first week, nevermind the other 21... Credited me a whole $3.98. Woo. Yeah, they can keep that. I stand by what I said, still never ordering from them again. And can't honestly recommend them to...

Out of curiosity, anyone fairly nearby going to have chicklets hatching soon to sell? I have 2 broodies who have been sitting for 2-3 weeks and I candled their eggs a couple nights ago and every last one of them is dead. I'd like to give them a shot at being mommas if I could find any chicks...

No new news yet unfortunately. The one I said would likely be dead by morning was indeed. I still have 4, though, as I miscounted (forgot I have 2 WRs left). These 4 are doing pretty well so far. One of the WRs is significantly smaller and punier than the others, so fingers crossed for that one...
