    And, Hi! I'm back. Flock is doing well, but Bob is gone. Euthanized late last winter. He was just too enthusiastic with the girls, and they were missing too many feathers. Then 2 weeks ago, Ethel the Easter Egger passed away with no obvious disease or injuries. Maybe she had an egg...

    Hi aart, I had to do the same thing last winter with our oldest Lab. 16 years he lived and loved us unconditionally. We have a reg Vet, and she came to our home to bring him to a peaceful end. It was really well done, we all got to say our goodbyes and get a final hug. The other dogs also...

    I haven’t posted in awhile, things have crazy here. One of our cats got poisoned by the neighbor trying to put a stop to their mouse problem. He was at deaths door, but is making a very slow recovery at home after a 4 day and night vet stay. So I took a second to pop in and say Hi!

    What breed is this 3 week old chick?

    Not purchased. Came from my friends farm. No Wyandottes there. No Easter Eggers either. They do have Ameraucana though.. One of the 5 that hatched is at least half Ameraucana - came out of a blue egg. The hen in the pic went broody so I put eggs under her.

    Not necessarily purebred, but definitely not Wyandotte... Can Ameraucana look like that feathering?

    Michigan Hatchers! What'cha got cookin?

    I never found them....weird. But I drastically improved my setup as a result this time. I will try to get a pic of the chicks tomorrow, so stinking cute!

    Michigan Hatchers! What'cha got cookin?

    Yes a clutch of 7 eggs. One hatched a day early and did not survive, found it dead on the nest. One Ameraucana egg was a dud. I lifted her off the nest today to clean up and found 5 chicks! 3 Black, 2 chipmunk colored. So 1 Ameraucana, 2 EEs, 1 EE x GLW, 1 Brown Egg layer of undetermined breed.
