Happy thanksgiving to all of you! It is clear and really cold here. Water and feed was frozen, but everone is well. Today is also my birthday, it has already been great! I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday! <3

So sorry MC, I understand the lonliness stinks. I did it for a long time (ex was a civilian contractor with the military in Iraq...after tours in other campaigns overseas). The hardest part is, most definitely, being the one that cares that you are not together. I don't know your situation, do...

Baby RIRs decided the sod clump was ok finally...and then started showing the cochin, SS, and Orloff babies just what to fo with it! Lil bitties are lots more friendly and curious than bigger bitties. Maybe they will rub off.

Yay! Inebriated chicken poetry to start the day!

The babies weren't too thrilled with the sod plug or the camera!

I will try to get pictures tomorrow once they are settled. It was kind of a busy day today!

Just picked up 40 5-day old heritage RIR! I was hoping they weren't just hatchery quality. This gentleman has had his birds featured in a few magazines. Big, beautiful dark red birds.

Couldn't get a pic of 2nd silkie hen, she was nesting in the corner and little spitfire roo was standing guard.

Got off late, attempted to get a few pics of the new crew...even new roo was out...but hubby decided to kidnap me and make a run to tsc. Apparently, he was planning to buy me an early bday present, lol. Too bad the incubator stock was depleted!

Oh! And with the upgrades to the coop (light and security) we are back up to > 15 eggs daily, some days up to 25! Yay

Hi all! Good to hear from everybody. ;-) Wellllll, chicken math struck again....but this time it was my hubby! I was looking for some chicks to put with Big Red and Chicklet and a local guy said he had a few that were a little over a week old and we went to look at them there were 3 black and 1...

Big Red, Chicklet and The Boy The Boy and Ditty

Still just one chick. The boys said they saw a 2nd one hatching last night and heard it peeping. But when Chicken Boy went down to do morning chores, baby was dead in the shell. Never made it much past the hole it first made. There was a large portion of shell gone with just membrane there...

Big Red's first chicklet. Chicken Boy was able to get a peek this morning when he fed the crew. Hopefully, we will have at least one more, maybe 2 by the time we get home today.

BEBE CHIKUNS!!!! For sure one, boys said that they heard some tap tap tapping while they were putting everyone up....so maybe we'll have another by tomorrow morning. Boys said baby is light tannish yellow with a black stripe. I have to take their word for it, still in the stupid cast until...

So Big Red is due to hatch Monday or Tuesday..and her buddy Roly Poly has been keeping her company. Well, today, when the boys went to put down new shavings...Roly started screeching and fluffing...looked like she had an egg or 2 tucked under...so as an experiment...Chicken Boy set down a few...

I have some beautiful slw you can have, OK. The are great escape...errr...independent forage artists! Especially Thelma...she's so fat...she may give Rogera run for her PIE money!

Sully, she is a Speckled Sussex. Way too much white for SOP, but we love her that way. She had a hatch mate that was very closeoto perfect SOP that wandered off into the woods one day during range time and never came back. Lacey is the biggest ham....if she sees my phone out she comes buzzing...

Apparently, Lacey isn't getting enough attention as one of Fran's fav girls and The Boy's fav chicken. ...she decided she also needed some camera time...I guess she finally started laying, but I have never figured out what egg is hers...I think she's been pming with She Who Must Not Be Named...
