Arizona Chickens

Chicks that were due Saturday at noon, started pipping this morning. 1st one (an Aloha) hatched at 6:30AM. Two more Aloha's were pipped. None of Tab's shipped eggs had pipped. My wife thought the first one was dead... it was just resting. Too bad I can't just sit and stare at the incubator.

I'm at the office.... a construction fellow is here tearing out the old Formica and putting in new Corian countertops with a Corian sink in my sterilization/x-ray lab. He says it will only take 3 hours.. He had all of the old torn out in about 30 minutes. Amazing. I may get the plumbers here early to hook everything back up. That would be sweet, then I'm cleaning coops and mowing lawns as I doubt my two teenagers will ever get to it. I've also got to call Pratt's and see if I can come sell them some two month old roos. One that looks like an American Game has a pathetic little crow and he wakes me up before the crack of dawn every morning. If any of you AZ folks want roos, PM me I'd rather give them away to you folks. I have some Silver Laced Cochins, some Australorps, a Buff Orpington a Partridge Rock, a Giant Partridge Cochin and some other game looking roos...

We've been doing a TI in the Arizona center in down town of a dental office. I guess it has been unoccupied for a couple of years and so now everything had to be brought up to code. I had no idea of all the interesting stuff that goes on in those offices. Air compressors, Vacuum lines, PRV's/Vacuum breakers at or below 5', Air/water separaters. They had all the X-ray machines eliminated, guess there is a new way of doing it???? Wish I knew how to get a picture off my phone and upload it.
 
I let the kids out to play in the mud and hunt for worms for a couple of hours. I helped dig the worms and then they wouldn't leave my side for quite a while. Anytime I bent over they'd come running over to see what I had found.

Their names are Dottie and Scarlet. Can you guess which is which?

I was talking to pastrymama on the phone . I was looking out my window and all the girls were lined up. I looked down and this snake was slithering by. Eeww. It went through the silkies run and went behind our shed. What kind of snake is this? I have lived in this neighborhood for 11 years and never saw a snake here. I do not live in the open.

I can't get my other pic to load off my phone. This snake is about 4 foot long and about 4inches in diameter. I think it is a young one. I just have no clue where it came from My girls were drooling!!!!!
