tons of Buff Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds and Speckled Sussex - can't count them all until I take them out of the hatchers tomorrow
I candled the runner eggs and 2 of the 4 look good so far and there are 6 of the 8 welsummers that look good so far.

Today is Wednesday so they all got cooked oatmeal this morning...
Thursday they get to move out to the cabbage fields before I plow everything under now that we have harvested.
Friday is they day I clean out the fridge so they'll get leftovers
Well if you do get a train going to NC count me in for whatever you care to rehome. ScaredofShadows I know is interested in some and if there was someone going to Richmond I could come up there and get them.

We are supposed to get more thunderstorms this evening and rain all day tomorrow. At least rate I'm never gonna get my deck stained.

It's 95 outside right now with the heat index of 101. I'm cooked! The birds are all doing OK though. They got a tons of carrots, celery, cucumber cantaloupe and watermelon left over from a baby shower my wife hosted yesterday. I took all the leftovers and tossed them in the deep freeze last...
