Loved it, Bee!! I watched it with the kids! They wanted to see it again.

My DD who is 4 has had several on her already. Almost daily. The only thing I know to do is spread out tick killer. I don't like it, but it's better than Lyme disease. I can't have chickens or guineas loose here.

Is the last a peach tree? I had a teacher who was killed when she was knocked off the tractor while doing hay. I was almost flipped off backwards off a huge international mowing hay going under a tree branch. It hung on the exhaust stack and then flew back and almost hit me. I dodged it is...

Today we had a blast!! Yesterday we hit the yard and gathered about a half gallon of worms. This morning we loaded up fishing supplies, food and 2 jugs of water. Then we headed for the lake where it joins the river. We got there and with all the pouring rain yesterday the water was WAY up...

I have a prayer request. At church tonight at alter prayer a little girl asked for prayer for her parents. She was up visiting her grandmother who had custody of her and her 2 brothers for a while. As we were leaving DD said she felt bad for her because both her parents are in jail. I really...

Yay for lockdown! I just put 10 Indian runner duck eggs in my incubator a couple of hours ago. Sounds like your doing good with development! Watch that temp!

Happy anniversary!!!!

Said!

:hugs on the washer flood. I used to have one that I had to turn the water off to because it wouldn't shut off. You could always try that if you get tired of hand washing.

I posted it on BYC and got a few different answers. Someone posted pics of golden laced that look like mine. I'm going to keep them and see. Im just happy I got chicks and the bator worked!

If I lived closer I'd come over and help! I wish I did, then I could get out of some of this cleaning I have yet to start!

Wow bad start early on. I woke up this morning with my head splitting from allergies! I've got to work on the greenhouse today, move the turkeys, clean the bator, set duck eggs, and start a major overhaul on the house. Yep. Spring cleaning. At least it's supposed to rain so I won't be...

Final hatch update. Three out of the second group hatched yesterday. 2 were fully formed and never did anything and 4 died early in incubation. So out of a total of 18 chicks I got 12! Funny thing is that if I go by wing sexing all the browner chicks are going to be Roos and the blacker ones...

All the wyandotte chick pics I've seen have stripes on their backs. A couple of those have very faint stripes. I was going to sell the extras, but I don't want to call them something they're not. A woman from church wanted the extras to add to her flock.

Oops. I'm just realized how big that is and I'm not sure how to resize it. Anyway I have one out of the other group hatched and 2 pipped. Now my question is do those look like blue or golden laced wyandottes to any of y'all? I know they are supposed to be one or the other, but the friend who...

:welcome I just sexed mine according to the link Bee gave. There are six pics and it explains primary and covert feather lengths. There was a very noticeable difference in the wyandottes I just hatched. It was easy to do and according to it I have 5 pullets and 4 cockerels.

Scovies are usually very broody. I agree that it's just waiting to get enough up to do it herself. I knew someone that started out with one pair on a pond and ended up with so many she was practically giving them away by the second year. Duck eggs are a little harder to hatch than chicken...

You know I've wondered about those things too. For example going shopping on Sunday. I will for necessities that come up, but I try to take care of that stuff on Saturday. I asked someone at church once and she told me do whatever as long as it doesn't interfere with worshipping Him.

The other pics didn't turn out very good. Here are the new babies!

It was actually kinda free. We used about 1 1/2 sheets scrap plywood from another project and an old electric heater we had laying around. One of those Patton heaters from the dollar store with a built in thermostat. The metal ones with the wire elements that are like $15 new. And I used a...
