I have not been on in a while. Life got challenging over the last few weeks.
Chicken news I have one new chick, my silky hatched a cute little one.
Health news, I am having some tummy issues and am working thru them. Ugh.
Kid news they are great and busy. LOL
Dog news my Shep has been put on...
My dh is teasing me about chickens. A chicken story here in Fayetteville made it on the front page.

Thank you all for your birthday wishes.
It was a fine day. DH was in a mood, kids not happy, a storm and my pay check wasn't in my box. Ugh, maybe today.

Checked on my broody. 4 of her 8 eggs are pipped (?) and peeps from the 5 larger eggs. Her 3 eggs I dont think are fertile, but will know soon I guess. We are hoping one of the brown eggs are from Alford.
How long does it take for chicks to hatch?
Found two hidding spots for eggs today. One in a shed (door wasnt closed all the way) ugh and the other under another shed. I thought I was just having a slow egg week. So, tomorrow they will be locked up for a few days. LOL
