We cut down a tree and saved most of it for firewood. There was a nice cluster in the middle of the trunk where more branches shot off (probably some name for that junction, just not coming to me lol) and we weren’t going to bother splitting it. I put it in a chicken pen and you’d have thought I...
Hope your luck is better than mine, but any time I see one on mommas back, it turns out to be a cockerel. :lau :hide
Strangely, my calls aren’t near as bad about moving things as my Swedish were. They were terrified if I moved the water 5 feet one way or another. The calls don’t seem to mind.
My call ducks house was my neighbors dog house. They made it with the logs when they built their house, the dog has since passed away so they gave me the mini log house.
Omg I just got a new phone and transferred all my pics. Didn’t realize I have over 14,000 pictures, mostly chickens/ducks :lol:
The 5 call ducklings were hatched by one of my broodies, the single is 10 days older than the 5, from another broody.
The chicks are my most recent bantam Cochins :)...
My only 2 laying ducks are mothering little ones, just 2-3 weeks old, so they aren't laying again yet. I have another couple of juvenile girls that haven't started laying yet. Not a single duck egg has been laid on my property for a couple of months now. :( But overall, they are doing well...
Thanks to all the BYH folks for allowing us BYC folks to pop in and use your site. BYC is back open, so things should be returning to normal. If anyone enjoyed the Pond antics, feel free to pop over to BYC and join us there!

worked on an outdoor brooder today, cleaned up the old area where the call ducks were, cleaned out their old house for some juvies, in between trips inside to check out incubator tv. 4 out, one almost out, at least 5 more pipped. 38 is about the limit for the ole sytro hatcher. these guys are...
I just ordered a 128GB card for my phone. Hopefully stop the freeze-ups for being low on memory. 30GB onboard only lasted me 7 months, so I went big. :D
throw that red plug in the trash.
:ya:celebrate
6 pips so far in my 38 lav orp eggs.
are you sure the others are done? Sometimes I open my non-hatchers, sometimes I don't bother. But I do at least usually open the air cell, just to confirm death. Bummer that you didn't have more hatch...
Nutridrench! Vitamins. I've had a few, and like Cyn said, when the legs are out front like that, they usually just take a little extra time getting up on those legs. I think it's just their fat butts lol! Vitamins will help, and Nutridrench is the quickest acting.
