4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[Sweetly Silkies]

Yesterday night i candled and tossed 6 eggs, 2 silkies were dead and the others were clear. I saw moving though! my babies were bouncing around in there little bungy cords (aka viens). doing flips and everything, fun fun.

also, woke up to snow!

an inch or so, and coming hard. im expecting:
the three months old, my 'crew', will probably start partying in it, having a blast.
My older hens will know to stay in,
and the young pullets will most likely run out all excited like normal then realize they are cold, and come running back,
I KNOW my dogs are gonna run and play and party like theres no tomorrow in it, i will have to take pics! this will probably be my golden's last winter, so we are trying to savor it.

Good morning everyone.

What's going on inside our chicken eggs-Day 9

Day 9: Starting to look like a chick. You can see the wings and legs really taking shape.
The body and head are becoming more proportional.

That is still late to wash dogs, he he he

This summer ya all woulda laughed your butts off at my stupidness...

picture this.....
nice HOT summer evening going to bed at midnight after a night swim and campfire with the kiddos...
finally snuggle into bed and my Buddy laying at my feet.... Only to realize how bad the stench is! OMG what in the world did this dog roll in??? The smell was horrific, I couldnt sleep I tossed and turned and finally after 15 minutes of grossness and debating washing the dog.... I get up and as quietly as is possible washing a dog, scrubbed the dog till he was red (ok I really didnt but I scrubbed the living bejimmeny out of the poor guy) well he jumps out of the tub whilst I am washing him, shakes, I get him slithering back into the tub to rinse him off, by this time, the floor walls and myself are covered with wet dog and hair..... so I dry him off and scrub the bathroom and then take a shower for myself.....

I finally snuggle back into the bed only to find the stench remains.... I strip the bed replace all linens and start a load of wash..... snuggle back in bed and OMG SERIOUSLY the stench was HORRIFIC I mean bad!!! And when I realised my window was open a crack and the stench was coming from the outside I was fit to be tied!!! Sometimes I can beat my neighboring farms up for spreading **** in the middle of the night!!! DUGHHHHH moral... always check your windows first!!

Have I ever mentioned that I hate snow? Well, I HATE snow. I hate it even more when the sky lights up from lightning while its snowing and I'm doing chores.

Ummm you know there are places where it doesn't snow. Right about now I'm wishing I still lived in one.
