I took a video of my 3 ducklings in the pool today, I have to admit watching ducklings is quite addictive...

The last 4 eggs of my May hatch were quitters with 1 full term DIS due to pipping internally on the wrong end. Total hatched? I lost count LOL.. The youngest brooder full has 29 chicks... Still have an incubator of eggs for a couple of hatches in June including a few turkey eggs for another try...

Sadly my little poult passed this morning

Updates: There were 7 chicks born this week of my staggered eggs. There are currently 2 brown eggs from one of my hens and 2 EE eggs from my Easter Egger in the incubator due to hatch this holiday weekend. Of the turkeys due the 26th hatched on the 25th one weak and floppy. I have been...

Question on Turkey Poults.... how long after hatching does it take for them to get stability and running around? The first one that hatched is seeming stable on his legs, the 2nd one does a lot of flopping around and ending up on his back. (less than 24 hours old).. Anyone with experience with...

My 2nd chick for this week hatched. Right on the day it was due. It was another EE eggs I was hoping fathered by the silky roo.. The good news is the one that I posted the other day from my EE hen looked like this and by feather sexing it is predicted to be a pullett.. we shall see.

This chick seems way more fluffy than any of my other chicks I hatched this year thats why I was hoping the silkie roo finally got some action in with the girls LOL. I guess I will wait and see how it feathers out as it grows.

This is the EE that hatched last night I am hoping that it was fathered by our silky roo.. thoughts??

This one hatched on Friday 5/20. I didn't think it was going to make it as it had not absorbed all of the yolk sac and was very listless.... I left it on a paper towel in the incubator and told my husband to check on it and let me know if it was improving or worsening as I was committed to be...

I can't promise but I *THINK* the egg that hatched today is a silkie/EE combo... I had the silkie roo in with the EE for a few days hoping they'd 'get along'... didn't have high hopes..but this chick looks to my inexperienced eye that they might have done something... LOL After s/he fluffs up...

Purple chickens? What breed will these little pretties be??

Of my 4 years with chickens I have only ever had one broody... You have 13 how cool! Hoping one of my 7 decides to go broody and hatch some little ones this summer..
