I just leaned something exciting about incubating chicks that I want to share. If for some reason you loose power for a day or two, your hatch still might make it. Just heat the eggs back up to normal temps and proceed. Here is what happend to me. My hubby unplugged my incubator the...

I was planning on going but hubby had to work at the last minute. I heard they were might be having this meet in Covington once a month. That would be great!

I'm going through the same thing. Only 1 egg every few days. Must be the change of weather or they are molting.

Quote: I'm sure they're correct. Moccasins are creatures of lowlands. Water moccasins (cotton mouths) are generally slow moving snakes. I've often walked right up to them and they do little except tilt their heads back and flash the white inside of their mouths. They can lay with their heads...

Way too cute! I was thinking of getting a couple of silkies also. Adorable!
