BYC Edu thread, keep on rambling - HERE incubation Qs answered, lots of information!!

[Turtle Rock Farm]

I have a bunch headed to the poultry swap the first Saturday in June.

Take one or ten of mine as well.

 

[Fire Ant Farm]

Good morning! I seem to have messed up multi quote somehow and lost all of them.

Thanks for the coffee, Duckling! I was missing it. (Using that mug IRL right now).
Mike, sorry about the losses. Definitely suggest putting in that automatic door ASAP - I don't know what I'd do without mine.
Dax, great to see you. Beautiful goats!
Banti, sorry about the flooding (but hey, it's not snow!)
Sally - Hi! I need a nap, too. Already. I'm thinking that maybe I didn't have a restful night (though I don't recall). Been reading about chiggers.

I see that brown banner - "Messages have been posted since you loaded the page. View them?" (I do sort of wish it would be fixed at the bottom so you can always see it, rather than have to scroll to the bottom, but that may be a minor point).

I'd better get going. Have a great day, all!

Well, it WAS snow, yesterday morning... But it melted...

 

[MikeLM]

sorry about the marans and the ice Michael, I guess you can set more eggs anytime now! and I know someone who has darker eggs now too

Thanks you. I have 7 Icelandic incubating right now, considering setting more. Well, also have broodies, probably just give them Icelandic eggs.

Finally, Hazel

Pretty!

Kid was outside yesterday morning and sent me this pic, she said she tried for ten mintutes to get a pic of the white goopy stuff coming out of pheebes privates but she kept running away from her lol. still no kids and ligaments still hard.....

Double sorry. Boy now you really need to hide.

Yes, sort of.

Chickens are doing well. Unfortunately, Jace's pen nearly flooded, and that was the only other pen I had.... So she's in the feed box now. At least it's dry.

The indoor pens have Chrissy and the 3 youngest chicks in them.... Outdoor one, the nice one, has the 7 older chicks in it..... So I'm out of space, and I have ducks coming in 2 weeks. This is me downsizing.

Gotta hurry on the new coop.... And get those extras gone....

Sounds like you do need that new coop!

I'm so sorry

Thank you.

Has Kajira updated us? I didn't read back

She was on the first few days, haven't heard from her lately though.

Thank you, I hear you on getting the automatic door onto this coop.

 

[Turtle Rock Farm]

Mike, I didn't close up the chickens last night either. They're all okay, though, thank goodness. I thought I remembered closing them up, but I guess not...

 

[NaJoBeLe]

Morning all, Hope everyone is doing well.

@Sally Sunshine
for the goat babies.
Also struggling with the new format, I haven't figured out how to get notified of new post either. Also had issues with the emails you mentioned. The watch/unwatch thread trick worked for that.

@MikeLM Sorry about the ones you lost. I was thinking about you yesterday while watching Justin Rhodes American Farm Tour on you tube. He visited a farm with a flock of Icelandics. I'm somewaht addicted to his videos and Joel Salatin.

@Fire Ant Farm He also went to the guys farm with the Stress free tractor plans you use.

@Duckling and Spider thank you for the java

@Daxigait Goat pics are amazing and I agree with Sally. The one has a clover print.

FIL shot at the fox this past wed and swears he missed. Haven't caught it on camera since though. Seems kinda odd since I was getting mult pics a day all different times for a week straight leading up to that. Don't trust it enough to go back to free ranging yet but seems like a step in the right direction. Got some replacements for the ones I lost. Most noteably is a neat little RIR/Silky mix with blue cheeks. Her name is Diva and so far is fitting the name. Also got another mixed layer and 3 BO that are about 2 months old. As far as quarantine goes they can stay together as long as they get along correct? They all came from the same guy and are getting along fine. I know the 2 laying age had previuosly been together but I think the littles were separate.

Morning!

Good morning everyone!

Bad day here, someone forgot to close up the coop last night. Three Marans missing, One decapitated Icelandic in the run.

I'm sorry Mike. Blu didn't close up my pen right last night and all 4 were out this morning.

I have enough horses to go around, just send your address and I'll send a couple over! You want extra large, large, medium, small or extra small?

i want them all!!!

I still cant get in it so dont think it matters, its not a safe site yet, so browsers wont let people unless they go in and allow them to. I am not trusting it yet. plus I locked myself out too many password attempts

LOL, i had to reset my password, wouldnt let me in

View attachment 33869 Here's your small horse

View attachment 33879 Here's a medium for you. 14.2 hh, not gaited but floats.
View attachment 33883 And an extra small. About 2 feet tall.

i love them all!!

Take your pick, Gypsy Vanner or Shire cross....

love moose!! hes so cute!!

oh & all you lovely Mothers,
May your bottles of
Wine & Liquors always be bottomless!

yes please!!!

I love Vanners. I've always wanted one, but they're out of my price range.
My mom is still afraid of horses. But StarBuck was a special case. He would have died if I hadn't talked my parents into letting me get him. When they say free horses aren't free, they mean it. It was rough and expensive getting him back to a healthy weight. I was 15 when we got him and I put a lot of work into turning him back into the horse I remembered him to be. Now he's just my ornery old man. He's retired from riding, but he occasionally gets jealous and wants a small child on his back.

he's adorable!! i read your story about saving him, very nice of you

I think I managed to figure out how to get access here; all by my lonesome, even. Now I'm off to do a total readback.

lol, have fun!!

Question: I just gave three two-day-old chicks to my speckled sussex (she has been broody for a week and frequently goes broody on me) I haven't seen them come out at all yet, and I only hear one little chick cheeping when I go to check. I'm nervous the other one or two died in the night, and I've never done this before. I tried to lure her out with treats but no dice. Should I make her move to check and see if there are any dead ones in there? Or leave them alone. I'll be gone all day tomorrow for work and I'm nervous.

update??

Good morning everyone!

so sorry!!

Well, I do have two broodies sitting side by side Penny my EE that sat last summer and gasp a Heritage RIR!
