SOOO...I just made a mistake I will NEVER make again! There were 3 eggs that had not yet hatched under my broody. I decided that after this amount of time they probably won't hatch so I took them out. I, without thinking it thru, decided I was curious to see what was inside so I brought them IN THE HOUSE to open them...carefully...to see what was inside. I had no idea that they were grenades in disguise!!!!!!!!!! I gave one just 1 tiny tap of the butter knife and BOOOM!  Of course I should've known that would happen, but my brain has more and more lapses in thinking power lately! My oh my the smell 

Oh good grief !!!!!!!!!!!!   

I saw not too long ago that someone was using their chicken feed bags to grow potatoes.  Filled with dirt and rolled a bit at the top, they were growing them right on their deck!

Had to show pictures

My dog watching the chicks

The 2 chicks with momma. 

Well, yours are bigger then mine, hopefully my girls wont mind though.   Our bigger boxes are 12x12x14. Most of the things I've read lead me to believe these will work fine but only time will tell. They haven't started laying yet so we shall see!

What do you mean by a "true" bantam breed? I'm a dog person so is "true" in the bird world like pure breed in the dog world? So what would the Cochin and Ameracauna Bantams be? Maybe like a designer breed? Lol. Like the Labradoodles? 

It seems like it takes the Bantams longer to grow, my little ones seem like they've stopped growing but are still so tiny! My friends 1 yr old Cochin Bantam roo could swallow my two little ones, is this normal? I hope not because their small size sure makes them easy targets for my standard sized birds. 

So... what is Blue Coat - how does it work?  Thankfully, Caunnie is the head of the flock so Rhodie and Drama just seem to be cuddling up to her and not picking at her face.  They're back in the coop/run now.  I think they'll stay there for a good while.  They're safer there.

I hope this is allowed, but I see other people posting that they have Etsy, Hyenacart, etc Shops, so I thought I'd post mine for y'all. If you picked up an item I'd probably discount even more too   I knit and sew girly items in a larger group of sellers. The group's name is Pins and Needles (on Hyenacart) and my shop name is Whirly Girl. I'm trying to sell out my current items so I can afford to buy yarn and knit more stuff for the shop! If you need baby gifts, check it out please   http://hyenacart.com/stores/PinsandNeedles/  (Oh and I also knit the top listing and I believe we want it gone, so if you like the collab listing just ask me about it and we can talk price...I think. I have to talk to 2 other ladies about it before we all take a hit on it.)
