New donate button!

I am trying to get enough donations to keep my hatching and blogging alive. If I get enough donations I may start raffling off *FREE HATCHING EGGS*!!! NO you are not required to donate! It is merely a suggestion. My blogging will always be free for everyone!

Been so busy here are some pic updates on the 3wk old babies!!!

Turning out very pretty!!! Most of my babies have found new homes these guys I may just keep! They are all so beautiful! But of course I have 4 dozen coturnix eggs that will hatch and I will want to keep them! >.< They are all beautiful, happy, and healthy. I have 16 button eggs in the hatcher right now, nearly 2 dozen coturnix cooking, and 4 pekin eggs cooking. 3 Doz coturnix are coming today, and next week I set swedish blue duck eggs!!!

DIY Fountain Feeders cont...

I decided to make a CHICK fount feeder!!!

Now even the smallest chick can use a feeder! I used a propel bottle.. Free from my mother.

EGGZILLA!!!!!!! *DUN DUN DUN*

These are 2 eggs my coturnix female Marge laid in two days... One being... Significantly larger... Poor thing!!!

Egg 1 is from yesterday, egg 2 is from today... Made the poor girl scream when she laid it!!!

DIY Fountain Feeders!!! Me and my DB's own design!!! Make it your own!!!

Step 1: Cut a pop bottle off little higher than center, take off lid, and invert.

 Step 2: Cut the bottom of the feed holes starting just above the mouth of the pop bottle. (cut feed hole sizes according to your needs on each side if preferred)

 Step 3: Fill 'er up!!(slowly in case you didn't cut or measure right so you don't spill!)

VIOLA! A .60 fountain feeder!!!(depending on size of bottle 3 liter may be .99)

Don't stop anything from making changes. It could make it better!!! Make it your own!!!

New pictures!!!

Two males two females. Not an ideal ratio I know, but it will get the job done :)

Its on the runty side...

Don't expect it to live through the night... But we have two other pips. So *crosses fingers*

Gah! Pipped egg at wrong end!!

I did a no-no and am helping it.... Bled a little so I am letting it sit in the bator some more... Bad thing is I think its getting shrinkwrapped...
