Hi everyone! Since the kids had a four day weekend from school we took them down to Mardi Gras - what a ball! My MIL lives on the coast in Mississippi, so we didn't go into NO, but hit a bunch of parades and nearly needed an extra car to bring all of the beads back. My neighbor was looking in...

Three hatched now!

Wahoo!!!!

Two pips so far!!!

I'm such a noob and am excited like a crazy woman. I believe we're beginning the very first hatch of eggs at our home!! I can hear all kinds of peeping coming from under mama when I sit quietly next to her, and it's taking everything I have in me to not lift her up to take a peek. She's...

Anne, wanted to update you on the eggs you gave us! :-) Today is day 14....I candled them today for the second time. I attempted at 10 days but honestly have no idea what I'm looking for, having never done this. So I just looked at each of them and paid attention to detail. Today I looked...

My kids have been watching my laptop like hawks - I came running when they all started screaming because #2 was out. I thought there was going to be a fistfight - we've got six kids and viewing spaces were at a premium. So cool to watch, can't wait for ours to start hatching!! We took a peek...

I have to tell you, my three year old son is intently watching the hatch cam, and randomly yells at the computer 'Come out Chicken!!!' - and it's cracking me up! Then he'll decide that if he whispers to the computer the chicks won't be scared and might come out....then he'll get impatient and...

Watching the hatch cam today.....:-)

We weren't able to get any either. If we happen to get in contact when there are some available we'll get everything we can load and if anyone wants some they'll be available.

I think my dh is going to try to get some of those wood crates....we're in the 'boro, he works in Nashville, so he drives right past every day and has a gigantic truck. If we end up with a big old pile of them anyone who ends up this way is welcome to pick some up.

Debid, we have a purebred chocolate lab who protects and herds our chickens. :-) She loves to play with them, and one of the chickens will give here a run for her money - chicken and dog, nose to nose, seeing who will back down first - it's hilarious! We're going to try to get video of it...

We had a red fox around twice last year. The first time it was trying to jump the fence into our open-top run. That day we put the chickens into the smaller run and added a top to it, and stayed on alert. A couple of weeks later it was down there again, stalking the chickens from between my...

Hehehe....I guess I get to choose who we want to let make babies and who we get to eat then. Now I'm going to have to go out and inspect everyone else.... At what point to you not leave them alone and break it up? She had 5 or 6 ganging up on her and she was bleeding by the time I got her...

We'll see....the comb is the same as all of the rest (except for the roo) and the feathering pattern looks to be the same - nothing is distinguishing it as a little fella to me. I guess time will tell.... Thank you Anne - I've got mama on the eggs, she's hunkered down and content...

Okie dokie....obviously I have no idea what I'm doing! If you click the above links you can see the pics, and I'll try to figure out what I need to do to make them show up.

Have a few minutes before I'm getting everyone up for school, thought I'd share a few pics of our kids. :-) My favorite little chick - I love her colors! More of the new babies - before they got the boot outside. Four of my big girls last spring, having a little fun in my garden. One...

Hahaha, will do! I need to figure out how to put some pictures up here too of my current batch of babies - who are growing like weeds it seems!

I'm free to get together on Friday if that still works for you. Just say when and where (between 9 and 2 so I'm not putting kids on or getting them off the bus)....and let me know how much $$ to bring too. :) Thanks!!

Ooh, don't count on the TSC in Murfreesboro. I was in there asking about their chick days a couple of weeks ago, and the manager said he doesn't know if they're going to do it this year. They said that the salmonella outbreak last year is being partly blamed on some hatcheries, and they were...
