Cooking up my morels tonight!! Gonna wrap them in bacon!!! It will be my first time trying them...

We didn't get enough to say boo to, but i like them dipped in onion ring batter and deep fried!  Mmmmmmm.

 

 

 

Well, i found out yesterday that one of my 3 week old du'ccles(?)  is DEFINITELY a boy, wasn't going to say how, but since the can of worms has been opened...... Took them out of the cage for a visit, and apparently something tickled his fancy, quite literally!  All boy, that one.  Is that even RIGHT? i thought chickens didn't get sexual until they started growing spurs and crowing??! 

 

I really hope they are not all boys, i am keeping the porcelain regardless, so...........

Whew!  had me worried for a minute........... i'm glad i didn't scare you guys off!  Yes, this is quite a surprise. I wonder if this breed matures faster than usual?  I am probably in for quite a time, though, i was  hoping if my rooster "raised" these chicks like he did the ones i got before he might accept another rooster. Gonna be hard if the chick is ALREADY acting roosterly, lol.

Nova, feel better soon. I am fighting a migraine too... from lack of sleep.

I was wondering the same thing.  My other chickens certainly don't like newcomers as much as Waffles does.  I think it's a little odd but it also makes me love her more.  She is still SO small, about the size of a 3 week old "normal sized" pullet.  So her trying to tuck all those chicks under her is not only impossible but hilarious.  I'm DYING to know if my 2 baby d'uccles are male or female.  They are 2 weeks old now.  

 

Post a picture of your rooster d'uccle baby.  I'd like to compare with mine.  Pretty please.  clap.gif

Agreed. 

 

 

The coop is completely sided now and painted...I ended up not doing the obnoxious blue...I know some of you will be happy.  Haha  We had a bunch of light blue siding from my dad and it was enough to do the entire thing so in the interest of being sick to death of working on that coop I'm thinking light blue looks fabulous!  Maybe I'll paint this summer if I really feel like it.

 

I've also decided to re-purpose a small dog shed my mom has and I'm going to use it for all my bantams.  It's going to have a completely secure run, top and all so nothing happens to them.  We're going to name it "The Banty Shanty"  celebrate.gif

 

Time to go but the kiddos to bed and then wash the dogs, who decided to roll in something humans don't find appeal.  sickbyc.gif

I did read up on the posts but I am still groggy and my coffee is still steeping, so I will make any replies later.

 

loveshowerThat sunshine I kept hearing about is finally showing its face here, love.gif and when I went out to unleash everyone, there were bees! Lots of bees, all over the place! wee.gif

 

Happy Beltane!!! :)

I have never seen a six-week old puppy so intent on humping things.  Shoes, legs, towels, toys... this one is apparently all boy. 

 

 

Worst part is he's JUST six weeks old as of yesterday, which means this is just the very, very TIP of the iceberg.  He's still in that puppy stage when "full tilt" is a quick toddle and his balance isn't even all that great yet.  I don't know that I even want to know what 8, 10, 12 weeks is going to bring.  LOL! 

 

My problem is I haven't met an animal that isn't adorable tongue.png

The Banty Shanty love it! and it totally makes me have a durh moment. We got rid of a dog shed last year that would have worked great for such a purpose! Oh well that darn hindsight, lol
