I've been divorced for many years. Been dating someone for a couple years. He was very nice to point out to me that when he met me, i only had 3 older chickens (The rest of my flock had already died off). He thinks I have crossed into crazy land. It's a very good thing that he loves me. We...

We might be twin hatching addicts!!! I'm setting up a 3rd brooder, because I realized how crowded the babies were...

Nope, I have half a Brinsea due in 10 days, and the other half due in 19 days. Realized I have hatched 90 babies in the last 3 weeks. I've sold only 3. I'm running out of room!!!

I think this hatch is finished. Not as good as I would have liked, but I hatched 40 out of 67. Most of the unhatched eggs were my dark green eggs I couldn't see into. They may not have been fertile.

Glad the loose tooth fell out!!

My latest May hatch along chickies are popping today! Have 36 or 70 hatched so far. We still have a few pips going. We had so many, hatch so quickly that my humidity hit 99%. NOTHING was drying! My brooder currently has last week's chicks in it. So, I had to set up another incubator and...

I don't think you are going to get any sleep tonight.....lol Congratulations!!!! Go chickies go!!! I set 7 of them 10 days ago, and another 14 tonight! I think they are BEAUTIFUL birds.

YAY!!! What are your totals now?

YAY!!!!!

YAY!!!! Go chickies go!!!! What day are you on now? I lock down some seabrights, some bantam EEs, and a bunch of my backyard mix eggs tomorrow. The Seramas went int 3 days later, but at my last candle it looks like only 2 of 6 are viable. I have 2 dozen more eggs to set....just waiting...

I have some bantam EE chicks from the Easter HAL and they are mock sparring and flaring their hackle feathers like a lizard does.. I've never seen a chicken flare out like that. Would pullets do that?

I have 8 of the 15 eggs in my lock down incubator hatched, and still hoping for more. I found out that my broody silkie has at least 1 pip. Although I was HORRIFIED when I found out the reason we know that we have a pip is because my helpful tenant (who helps clean the coops and care for the...

My brother had Celiac growing up, so we struggled all the time. Now there are so many other people (besides Celiacs) that go Gluten Free, that it's so much better!! Most restaurants now have gluten free menu items - which I would hesitate in trusting, since you have no idea what the stuff is...

Thank you Sally! i hope you have a great weekend yourself!!

Pretty!!! Nice mix!!!

Thank you so much Sally!!!! TJchickens is 3 hours south of me, but it still took 3 days to get to me. I'll see how these do. It's funny, I just planned a last minute vacation (sort of planned). We are thinking of heading down to San Diego (TJchickens home town). If I had known I was...

Quote: X2. I leave everything in until lock down, unless they smell bad. Good luck

Thanks for linking Sally, I forgot she is the Serama queen!!! Thank you!!! I just hatched 22 out of 22 of TJchickens MFDs, she said that the Sebrights are a little harder to hatch than the MFD, but the Seramas were really tough to hatch. Said that they run at a higher humidity the first 18...

Hello everyone!! Cute photos!! Great saves!! Sorry for the DIS and after lock down deaths. Sounds like a lot going on!!! In this house, we had 2 sets of locked down eggs that didn't do so well. The set that was mine, the dozen eggs that made a side trip from WA to AL, back to CA had 10...
