That is funny! (And quite odd) I woke up to 3 more fuzzies. 1 BLC and 1 CLC and then the last one I'm not sure cuz I haven't opened the box yet. I have 2 more with new pips. I will keep you posted! We are going to hit up the Tractor Supply first though. 20% off toys!

You might as well fill up the Bator, you wouldn't want to waste the electricity to just hatch some:-D

I'm using that white medical tape. I've just replaced it like 3 times already. But that's okay, it's working. It is becoming more straight today, and he is eating a bunch of food. So I'm glad for that.

Splay leg .. that's it. Thanks for that link too. I'm going to try that right now actually. I'll let you know how it turns out. BTW: This happened overnight. Literally.
I got 9 for 9 on EMVickrey's eggs. 100% woo hoo! One just started walking funny. What is it called when they're legs are like.. going sideways. And what can I do for that.

My Grandpa raised quail. Sold a bunch to same gaming place where people hunt. At one point he had over 500 birds.
ETA: He was a hatching addict. That's where I get it. I hear it runs in families.
Well.... I got a new ducky today!
I have 6 more duck eggs due in 2 weeks, silkies due a week from tmw (Friday) and cochins due.. .. crap, I forgot to write down when I put them in. They've probably been cooking for ... 10 days or so... ?
I can't believe I did that. I just went to check...

I would love some! However, I have no where to put them! I can't keep up with the demand for eggs either! I have people ordering them 5 dozen at a time. My BIL is moving though and I'm getting his 6 laying pullets so, I will be able to keep up then!
Still no progress on these 2...
