Firefox went a little wonky on me. For some reason it won't let me log into BYC ever since I reset my password. I even saved the new password in Firefox, but it's like it's stuck in a time warp. It says "log in successful. Redirecting" then it reloads the "you are not logged in" page........
AAAAANYWAY. Back to IE I go.
I'm not stuck on any one particular program, just whichever is least buggy for what I'm trying to do at the time

FF, IE, it's all the same to me.

Anyways, I'm back now!
All the eggs that I can see through are developing in the bator.
All the chickens were at the head count tonight.
Work wasn't too rough tonight and I may get some extra hours tomorrow, plus tomorrow is payday

Best of all, it was sunny today and it's supposed to be again tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Life is going pretty well!

Oh hey, ChickyTocks I saw your new mailbox. Looks nice!

 

[Chicky Tocks]

Morning Tala and everyone. Thanks for noticing the mailbox.

That was a fluke! One day I say to DH, our mailbox is ugly and DH says yeah, I think it is too, and the next thing I know, we have a nice, new brick mailbox. Hmmm...ya know I'm thinking my car's looking a little ugly these days...

My entourage of eggs are in lockdown, day 19. They're due Saturday. I'm really excited about this hatch, and I'm hoping for a high percentage. All candled well before I sealed them up.

I'm geeked about this next meetup. I'll bet it's going to be a real chick-n-stock. The speaker on NPIP is going to be a good listen too. Can't wait to see what everyone brings!

Good luck with the hatch ChickyTocks, I'll be

for/with you!

BENTON TSC HAS CHICKS IN!!!
I GOT 6 NEW CHICKIES FROM TSC!!!!!!!!
I really had forgotten just how TINY they are at first!!!!!!! CUTE as little buttons!!!!

Gotta keep it on the down low though, DH doesn't know about them! I stuck them out in the doghouse with the Marans. Hopefully by the time the eggs in the 'bator hatch out he won't know which ones came from where!!!!! They will hopefully help bridge the age gap between the Marans and the ones in the 'bator. I'll have more of a stair-step of ages instead of two quite different sizes.

Benton TSC has:
assorted Reds, straight run of couse. Looks like red sexlinks and hatchery RIRs
assorted banties, I'm no bantam expert but they looked like a smaller version of the mixed breed bin
assorted straight run (LF) chickens - chipmunk striped, black with the white dot head (barred rock I think), some pretty solid looking black/brown shades (mutts I think??), black and yellow in a sorta chipmonk pattern (I had no clue) and yellow/white chicks (which were Leghorns last year so I didn't buy any more yeller chicks)

I got 6 (the minimum, although the guys that were there didn't have a clue and probably would have sold me a single chick if I tried)
I got 2 that looked to be barred rocks, and 2 of the blackish brown ones, 1 greyish one, and 1 chipmunk baby. All cute as buttons and so tiny!

ETA: In my excitement I failed to mention that I have a new layer! I'm not sure which one it is though. I noticed that I was getting some rather Buff Orpington colored pullet eggs AND some darker, Barred Rock colored pullet eggs, but I couldn't be 100% sure because the color system is a bit wonky at first. I didn't know for sure that I had 2 laying pullets until they both laid on the same day!!! Not sure which one it is, I have 2 BO pullets yes, but the black sexlinks are half BO. I know for sure one of the BSL pullets lays closer to BR color, but the other could take after her daddy I guess. I just don't think the BO pullets are laying yet (combs not very big, roosters aren't mounting them enough for me to notice IF at all)

Cute chickies. I'm going to Atwoods today. I really need to resist if they have chicks! I think I can, I think I can.

It's a good thing Atwoods is so far away. I'd never last if they were in town!
