No body sitting yet...still have snow on the ground! Today is warm through, in the fifties, so maybe finally spring is here! Last year they did start early, weaned early at five weeks and sat again. Cutest little things those chicks! Course they could be hiding from me somewhere.

Loved that owl and pussycat video, amazing how some can manage together. Way to go peach! And there's plenty of time to set another two clutches this season!

Yeah, its hard to tell exactly how long she's been sitting on her eggs, I've never bothered with the candling thing since all my eggs are dark green or brown and hard to see anything through, and then I wonder if all that turning is any good for them. So just like waiting for eggs, waiting for...

Geeez, and until byc I had heard nothing but good about earthworms!?! Those poor robins, out there every spring playing earthworm roulette! Never knowing which worm will be the one. Snif. Seriously, this fall I was collecting up the scattered pieces of slab wood to tidy up that side of the...

I must have missed somewhere the initial mention of the worm problem...else I'd have added my 2¢ worth. I'll just say that if you can see the parasite you have to treat for it cause too much overloaded on that chicken....needs some help. If I had a microscope I might look for signs but never...

Spring is here I think.....everyone is screaming and sqwawking racing around, got to be fifty degrees out. Can't wait for little chicks. Time to get the coop situated too. I'm sure I'll have plenty of feral chickens this year.

I suppose I have been remiss in not worming my chickens, esp following the theory that they eat off the ground therefore likely have worms....but I haven't seen any signs. I had a recipes for a wormer using lye soap but all the places you'd expect to buy lye don't sell it....turns out it was...

Looks like about 18 eggs (0ver the last few days) it is time to add clean straw and wood chips....I am keeping several eggs ahead for who ever wants to go brood. They should start soon now, maybe after this last storm coming in. Cheeka - I think 2 days apart is OK for the broody....mine seem to...

I started painting when i was little, before school, I never really took a formal class, unless I needed a quick a to boost my GPA. I never tried to make a living at it either, although I've sold some stuff, I saved it for retirement, which is now I guess. Art is something you can always...

Hey animal lover I just saw your work...what medium are you using? I just got some faber/castil watersoluable color pencils for Xmas. They are blendable and can use them like oils too. I thought theyd work great for chicken feather details. I see alot of talent there just want you to use...

Hey! Yeah w4w, right now just got moved into another smaller waiting room at the Dr office. Glad they squeezed me in before he goes out of the country, so this trip is more of a formality....would rather be home! My chickens aren't laying. I will go outside and find out why as soon as it...

Hi everybody! Have been trying to catch up but can't, so just jumping on and catch up later. Im is not working right....don't know why I can't send. Anyway they are going to send me home tomorrow! But have been sying that for a week....keep up the prayers...I need them! My bh tells me one of the...

Ha, it has been good catching up to the thread, had me laughing....and that hurts so quit! Yep, been a little busy fighting for my life last few days. Stable now....well....sorta of stable...have a way to go but god has put me in the hands of a leading pulmonary surgeon and it is odd to be taken...

Battery! Gotta charge. Still got pneumonia. Later!

Bluecote is fine...I think it'll be OK. Sorry guys, got pneumonia on top of flu..,went home on o2. Really bad but couldn't stay in there...that hospital was trying to kill me...worst care ever had. Have back up plan seriously?....now husband getting all sorts of horror stories about that...

Thanks cheeka! Also glad everyone is fine, I noticed that the chickens are all flocking together now, eating together, instead of taking shifts like when i feed them. I guess they realized when the feeder goes off they better get in there and get some! I also have a few blujays perched near...

I wish I could have stopped for the broodies, but couldn't spare six more hours! Oh well, it rained and froze last night so maybe the adjustment to cold weather would be too quick for them. Instead I had Lucy in the back. We were both happy to stop. I did go slow so not to get mud all over...

Home at last, home at last! Smooth sailing all the way, last five miles started to sleet, right? The last few one lane mountain road, then 1.5 miles of dirt road pretty much straight up, you can recline like a lazy boy chair. Fire already set and blazing away.

yoo hoo! Made it to SC, somewhere past waterboro...who knows really What's the weather doing up north? Hopetheres no ice, driving an oldermercedes diesel, and the fuel gauge has hardly budged, I think I used 6 gallons so far. Heater works! Yea! Was going to make a detour and pick up some...
