3rd Nest of the Season!

Love It ! This is great. But I draw the line at gold fish sweaters....that would just be silly!

Sorry for veering wildly off topic but I couldn't believe my eyes:
Knit Tortoise Cozies





Sorry again about the detour.

I for one love these kind of scenic detours, and I love the shark fin cozy! We need to incorporate a shark fin into our Peachick sweaters, because when you put feed down in a group of Peachicks it is like a "Feeding Frenzy".

 

[DylansMom]

Your right. He does! Well if we're going to dress our peachicks up in sweaters, lets not forget the all important hat! After all, we Northerners know that 40% of body heat is lost through the head...(or something like that anyway).

Perfect! And leg warmers, we need matching leg warmers. I know I saw a picture of a chicken wearing leg warmers, but I can't remember where it was.

Well, My silver hen is down to 2 eggs now. She started with 5 but 2 were clears so I pulled those. The remaining 3 were due to hatch Sat. or Sun., but when I went out this morning one egg was out from under her several feet away and broken.... there was yolk, and blood, I opened it the rest of the way and there was a white chick inside. Deceased of course, but obviously only days from hatching. She is setting inside the pen so it wasn't a predator, almost looks like she may have accidentally broken it herself. That leaves 2.

That's sad... So sorry.

It's amazing how fast they grow. I saw KKB's picture this morning and it took me by surprise how big Nanu is.
