It is always a pleasure visiting you NoSkiveez and your children are just adorable. Sorry I missed helping out this time, maybe I will have something next time around. Thank you for the Coco's I can't wait to see her reaction when I bring them by later. You are really a wonderful lady and I'm blessed just knowing you.. Tell your daughter Josef said Hi back and I will remember to bring him next time I stop by. Thanks again for the stroller..

Ahhh, caught my hen hording 4 eggs this morning and she was ticked that I snatched them, pecked me and everything. That's a first.

Oh Gallo ... UPDATE?

How are they, have any pictures, what is happening???

FYI I responded to your email last night, but without much helpful information. I don't expect a response, I just wanted you to know it was there.

I have 2 coops built by Kyle - he is terrific! He asks all the right questions and will work with you if you want to make changes/additions etc.

The only thing I didn't like about my Kyle Coop is that he used chipboard, and it's flaking apart and warping already despite the 2 coats of exterior paint I used.

To prospective buyers considering this coop: You might also want to ask the builder to use hardware cloth, instead of chicken wire - chicken wire is not considered predator proof. It keeps chickens in, but does not keep predators out.

Your kidding right? I mean the feed store told me "we only get turkey hens here". I bought two one week old chicks, could your statement indicate I have two tommys'? Oh brother I hope not otherwise they will be lucky to make it to Thanksgiving.

Quick update: I had one late pipper at about 7 pm last night and it was still working at 11pm when I went to bed. I agonized whether to help it along or not and decided against it. It did eventually hatch, but was dead this morning.

So, 12 of 12 hatched.

That's a long way around to saying I have 11 chicks!

I have to wait my turn for computer time, but I'll post pics later this afternoon.

Beckyhsinglsc, I wanted to tell you that I'm glad your father is hanging in there and that I'm thinking about your family. I hope things quickly improve.
