Your wish is my command! The silkies and EEs in the doghouse with the chicken tractor butted up to the door:

Salem the Kitten is doing great. He fit right into the feline madness! Last night, Vic and I built a new chicken tractor that the silkies are using now. We have a little more work to do on it (wire mesh over part of the roof, hinges on the lid, and a paint job). They're out there right now...

Second week birthday pics: One of Lucky Duck's babies The Thundering Herd!

Poor George! He's such a sweetie! The boys are doing great! I've given them the doghouse (since the dogs never used it) and the fenced part of the yard until I'm sure they know where to come back to. Then they can roam a bit. No squabbles; they settled right in and made themselves comfy...

Nineteen lovely fuzzy butts so far and nine still in the incubator; will post a pic of the latest LD chick when she is dry. Possum is a great name! Thank you!
