Aw, my dearest friend. Regardless of the outcome, you did an amazing job and gave your children an incredible experience. Hatching eggs is a safe way to explore love, life & death. With love, K♡

Solved. Seems to be thin spots!

I've been collecting eggs for hatching and today I noticed they are starting to show strange spots? Any ideas what is happening? These eggs are usually a solid light tan colour.

Yum! ...and I'm setting again this weekend 🙈

51 quail hatched

It sure is!

I love to sing and play my banjolele, I am also a huge boardgame geek 😎 Oh I knit too, but I don't feel as excited about that.

My 2 silkies are about 5.5 weeks old now! One is bigger than the other but neither have any comb development, still looking pretty flat. My hopes for 2 girls have increased 😅💗

You'll really want to quarantine new birds for 2-3 weeks when you get them. You never know what parasites/diseases they are bringing with them. Even when we think we are bringing in healthy birds, you'd be surprised how often you discover something, like mites or lice, after a couple days of...
