This sounds correct. I had a mallard sitting on eggs in the barn once. Got heavy rain and when I checked on her water had seeped under the wall and her nest and eggs were underwater. Probably had been for a while too. They were ice cold but I moved them to higher ground and she went back to...

When it rains it pours. We've had several severe thunderstorms over the last couple weeks and more coming. Two power outages so.... Lockdown today. Candled the eggs and the usual amount of clears but a first here.... Every other egg was a blood ring. No hatch this week. I'd assume next week will...

I need to switch some boys out or around. I've got like 4 pens that either are producing lots of clears and/or eggs making it to lockdown but never even pipping. Wouldn't be a big deal except 3 of them are pens I need to get some chicks out of. Also I'm gonna knock that d@mn chocolate Orpington...

Been busy busy for a minute. I'll have to catch up in the other threads. Today is batch 3 hatch day. A few hatched yesterday and lots of peeping today. Should be done by tomorrow so I'll see about pics then.

This one? If so it's either straight splash or splash mottled

You'd have to be more specific and then I still might not know. I know there is a splash silver duckwing in there somewhere.

Mine love raw eggs. Sometimes one gets broken and they'll swarm it. Thing is I've got a paranoia that that could lead to egg eaters. So no way I'd feed them any uncooked ones on purpose. But let's just say hypothetically someone has 11, 957 birds and ends up with about 7,714 extra eggs a day...

How many of you all feed eggs back to your chickens?

I have the chocolate Orpington rooster with silver duckwing hens. Female offspring would be chocolate at hatch. Males would be black. 1st hatch, 1st pullet chick of the project..

I collect my hatching eggs using pastic egg flats. Two or three years ago I wanted to come up with a quick and easy way to turn them a few times a day. My boy was younger and at the stage he'd became a little problem solver. It was fun to watch how his brain worked so I laid out what I was...

Moved more birds around yesterday and kicked more cockerels to free range. Had the brilliant plan to scrape out my biggest pen and get it set up for the blue gold duckwings. I underestimated the build up from all winter long. Remind me to go easy from now on with the straw. That stuff is no fun...

So I use the Manna Pro 7lb feeders for most of my brooders. Haven't bought any in a couple years but I wanted to get several for this year. My local place used to be the cheapest but not anymore. Price has climbed to this.... TSC has theirs for $9.99 regular price but listed now for $8.99 TSC...

Girl. Don't you know stressing is not good for your health. It wears on you and makes you old. And most people stress too often about things they have no control over anyway.
