Saw this mom and her 3 babies cross the road. And when I rolled my window down (was getting my kids at the bus stop) for a better photo, the mom dipped out and flew away. The babies stared at me for a second and then flew off too! I googled and it said wild turkey but idk. What do yall think?
Atropos has hatched 2 babies yall (but one is gone so we think it snuck through the opening somehow? Cause the others are fine). And the Seramas are good. Only lost 3 babies total (including the other babies). The other 3 Serama are still alive. I do believe one is a frizzle. I will have to...
Dolly adopted one of the other babies that was in there brooder. We also had one that hatched that won't stand 😭 Idk what to do. Poor baby. Legs work. Well. They kick and toes curl and everything.
I am only wethering him bc him and the other goat are half siblings. I was told that's a no no. I didn't get told that by the breeder until AFTER buying them. My fault for not checking in advance.
Me either! But they switched nests. So now she is on dolly's eggs that haven't hatched yet (I am gonna candle either tonight or tomorrow night 🤔), and she is on Atropos's eggs.
Here is Dolly, Atropos, and the babies! The Seramas have wings bigger then their bodies.
I gave Dolly another baby today (which she accepted) that hatched last night. It has orange legs....but 5 toes! It's from my own flock so no clue what birds are mixed in lol. It seemed wobbly. I hope it...
Atropos is a week behind I believe and shouldn't pop babies out until then. I think. I wanna say she has a week left. Must be silkie DNA that makes em more prone to broodiness. The other girls don't care. They'll sit on a few but that's it. Then leave. Lmao.
I went outside this morning and there was a baby! I didn't know she was close to hatching! She still has two under her. I will check tomorrow if they have hatched. If not I might pull em out on Thursday? Friday? I want to wait and make sure they are duds.
Omg adorable little pair they must be. We need proof. Give us pics lol.
Dolly hatched out another baby! Tomorrow I am redoing the outside of the enclosure and will let the babies out of the brooder box. It's been super humid here and it is staying damp in there. One of the Seramas passed this...
Dolly refuses to get up. Now we also have Atropos sitting on eggs. We had Charlene too but my toddler yeeted the eggs before I could catch him. My back has been messed up the past week. Yay for degenerative disc disease and a pulled back. Either way they were only 3 days into brooding.
