Ok. My hands need a break from typing on my phone. Be back soon for more update.

I named him Miracle. Which later changed, but thats a story for later.

I was in the process of disposing of the eggs when I heard peeping from one of the eggs. I completely panicked. In my head, I saw a baby too cold to hatch suffocating in the egg. I cracked open the two rotten eggs first while looking for the baby - of course. By then my hands were shaking so...

I apologize for the back and forth, but I need to add my broody. Aspen hatched 8 of the 12, including 2 from the fridge. I hadnt been prepared for a broody and didnt have enough eggs. It was extremely hot and I didnt want her to brood any longer than neccessary, so I added eggs for 2 days. I was...

Oh geez. I think my timeline is off. My memory isnt as good as it once was. For one, Helios was still around when they hatched because I remember him being a great dad. Also, I had been shocked that Aspen and babies were not bothered despite being in the broody hut and closer to the ground. And...

Anyway, another major overhaul took place that day. The top of the run had been chicken wire run over the top. Well the entire run was framed top and bottom and I set rat traps. The culprit returned multiple times. Setting off traps but never getting back in.

Omg.... I forgot something important. My Aspen had gone broody and was setting on 12 eggs (including 4 from the fridge) and had been seperated from the others because she was set to hatch within days of the attack. She was setting on eggs from Yzma and Brigit who died. So I have the offspring of...

Then a major disaster happened. A raccoon (I believe) found a weak spot in the chicken wire covering the run. I went out in the morning to let them range to find my Yzma (my avatar) dead and another with her neck obviously broke but not dead. She was flopping around and I freaked. I was kind of...

As it turned out..... One of my babies was a boy that i successfully rehomed. My flock was perfect in my eyes. I had a lovely variety of girls and a good roo. Then, all of a sudden, things went wrong. And kept going wrong. One bird disappeared while free ranging. Then another. Both were pullets...

Well, I reread my journal and will start where I left off.... But I am going to try to be somewhat brief.... We will see how that goes.... I put Nixi in with the babies and it was fine. I kept them seperated until they were about 4 months old and integration went fine. The older girls were...

So much has happened since my last update I hardly know where to begin. Lol

I have been having a hard time this past year trying to maintain my flock while dealing with the process of being diagnosed with rhumatoid arthritis. I was misdiagnosed for years because i am part of the 20% that doesnt test positive on the serum test. Well, I am finally starting to feel human...

Yeah! Its working ! Many updates to make but need to clean my brooder so i will be back. I was just testing my phone

Hi everbody. I've been gone for a while. Old phone didn't like to work right with this site. I have a new phone so I'm trying again!

Also, Helios is showing more and more yellow/orange. He is really starting to have the showy, fancy, "manly" feathers - as I like to call them.

Another interesting note.... I found someone with an incubator and she is going to hatch 2 dozen of my girls eggs for halvsies of whatever actually hatches. She has done this before. I have not. Im using eggs from Yzma, Penny, and Brigit (1 each color; brown, green, blue). I would love to hatch...

I really am coming to a point.... Nixi will be healed soon. Most of her skin seems to have grown back (its amazing). I want to reintegrate her into my flock. But my flock is currently 2 flocks and Im having trouble deciding which flock.... My first thought is to put her with the babies. She is...

Golden/red and black : Ona Largest orange (spotted looking): Elsa Most orange: Fly (cuz she flies, lol) Whitest: Athena I think she got the first two from a movie (never saw it). The last one is one i would have picked but totally didn't.

Also.... Im pretty sure i forgot to mention the new babies have names. I hadn't named them for silly reasons and one day, Bella (a 5 year old that visits me when her stepmom is visiting my neighbor) came and asked what their names were. When i said they didn't have names, She asked if she could...
