Good grief Frenchie I was joshing you! LOL!


Big marsh fire in the Rat River wetlands tonight. Started by the railroad around 1 ish. This area is in between HWY 10 and 96. We had ash from the fire raining down on us here. It is still burning right now....... I am curious how many acres have burned so far........ the smoke almost made it look like a plane had crashed at the Appleton airport.

Beautiful birds!

Very nice Birdman!!

Wellnmy first experience with shipped eggs has gone amazingly well. I think partially because of the awesome packaging job Dmrippy did. And because I listened to bator god Jim on bator instructions. Super Blue egg layers!

13out and one more pipped

Cuties, your babies are darling...I love the "spots".

Birdman, your BCM is beautiful. That is one of the breeds I am hoping to have.

And finally, what is "angel wings"? I have never heard that before.

PS the snow is almost gone...

Birdman, aren't those BCM eggs beautiful? !
Thank you Miss Wiggles!
Angel wing is when the whole wing turns out funny.
Frenchie, I wouldn't worry just yet. They seem to grow out of that once they get past that teenage stage I think Jims friend had already called on that gander. Sorry!

Oops, Kildare on the BCM

good evening, I have a stinky egg.. I suspected it this morning, now I am sure..

all I have to do is search through about 200 eggs to pinpoint it.. It is in the hatcher,,

the first Asian lady stopped by today with another 6 doz eggs .. hers are the ones in lockdown right now..

I never saw angel wing on a chicken.. geese get them all the time..
I think it is caused by living on Horse Apple Ridge ..

I keep forgetting to post my new chick pics for this year





this guy is the lovable problem child of the group..To me, it looks like a penguin baby.

it hatched ok, but had a splayed leg right away, and learned quickly to wiggle out of the straw and rubber band leg brace. finally I braced him and stood him in a small tupperware bowl lined with paper towel for awhile to keep him upright and out of the water dish. It has had 2 warm bathes and blow dries so far. When I took him out of the torture tupperware he could stand ok on his own.
Now it is half the size of the yellow ones. If he is not a rooster, I will be shocked.

ps all the chicks have only 4 toes on each foot this hatch Hooray for that.
