Hey! Maybe I’ll have a spare pair to bring you in June.

i would LOVE that! Shhh, dont tell dh..

yea well i do feel for him and i tryn give him some understanding but the aunt is working hard, cant let the bad behavior continue. Im just lending a hand.



not such cute hatchlings glad theyre thriving tho! They be beautiful one day

That boy is in good hands with you!

Congratulations! They are absolutely bizarre looking! I hope you know I mean no offense when I say this one looks even weirder than the first two. Maybe this one will grow into the most beautiful of them all.

WELCOME HOME SOUR!!! We pretty much shut BYC down while you were gone... Way too boring without you.

The 'catio' is still being built, but its on hold as DH is doing his Civic Duty today (Hopefully only today.) Its been a tough project & I don't know why. It should've been easier & quicker than it has been. I'm pretty sure Cap could've whipped this out in her sleep.

You'll get it done!

Lookie what I got today!

They're all brahma chicks Got lucky and won them in a raffle. I got 16 total, 4 gold laced, 4 buff laced, 4 light, 1 lavender, and 3 that are actually the same color as I've been working on creating myself. The breeder is calling them by the wrong name, though, 'lavender columbia'. The color is actually called Coronation. So, 3 coronation to add to my coronation project.

My small flock is especially low right now. I've lost 2 girls in the last 2 months or so & when I count them at night I keep thinking someones missing. Every night I count 1,2,3,4,5,6 & a giant rooster... Wait, is that right? One, two, three, four, five, six & a giant rooster... Wait Oooooone, twwwwwwo, threeeeeee, foooooour, fiiiiiive, siiiiiiiiix and a giant rooster. I feel like an idiot.

Twin bucks born last night. First time mom. She had them out in the field while we were gone, cleaned them up, Fed them and tucked them away then wandered into the garden to eat we were out there at 1 am trying to find those suckers. Dad and my brother found them this morning. They’re up and walking and bouncing and being happy little babies.

The tiny cream colored egg is from one of my 3/4 brown Leghorn 1/4 RIR pullets. It’s her first egg!

Y'know, the shifts work every other weekend (and, even now, when I'm not on a set shift yet, I've only worked every other...)... Though I may not know until June which weekends I'm working for sure--I'm only scheduled up to the 23rd this month, which I pointed out to the JA yesterday. And you all will likely prefer to have a weekend picked out before then



I guess I shouldn't complain about the training facility for the class today only being 53 degrees inside...

We haven't decided on a date yet but I think its gonna be early June.. I'll let ya know...

Just wish I had some darker eggs.

I hear ya! My favorite are the minty greens & the blues, but I'd love to have dark reds & olive greens. My one Welsummer used to lay a very disappointing shade of medium brown egg & hers always had pigment inside. No big for us, but I felt weird giving hers away.

Do you guys ever wake up with 3 dogs crammed against you in bed & a cat laying ON TOP of you & think, "Things are really starting to get outta hand."

What do you want dark eggs for?

I wish it was that simple.
I'm using my laptop; it's very old and very slow.

No.
