I hope bgmathteach is ok. haven't heard from her in ages.

She said she was going to be offline for a while.

She said she was going to be offline for a while.

I think it had something to do with a computer. Hopefully she can get another one that isn't a work one.

Here’s some pictures of the new tribe. Six total and they are all afraid of the brooder heater.

They'll get used to it. Let their processors and cameras figure out that it's no hazard.

Hello pinking chicks, eating mash.

Pinking on the white one means nothing. That comb type pinks early on both genders. Watch for comb growth.

Alinta laid her first egg of the year, so pointy!
Brenna laid the next day (extra happy about this as she rarely lays) and Rosie laid an odd fat monster egg.

Rosie's monster

That sure is a pointy egg! But I love the colour.

Breeder is in Fresno (Belt hatchery) all my chooks have come from there, but bought at different feed stores over the years.

Just looked up their website to see what they have.

Yep, we have a wasp in our house. My toddler gave me a fishtank net and said "catch it mommy!" Yeah no!!! I don't mess with them.

Glass jar and cardstock/thin cardboard to cover the lid is your best option

Walk of shame for Sir Jaffar today.
He was standing in the run watering hole and got all wet and then muddy when he jumped out.
He was trying to avoid the evil rooster next door. (Who was crowing at the girls while standing on the fence)
He will make the mistake again of entering the coop/run soon enough!

Wait on those guesses, because I bought three more chicks from the feed store. They are guaranteed EE and female. One looks like a Columbian Wyandotte (gold laced ) and I picked up the heating plate from TSC

OMGOSH

I cannot wait to see the little velociraptors
