Kayla and I are off to the bunny show in Turlock. I couldn't sleep, so of course I'm running late this morning. Trying to decide if I should stop at the atm or not.

Congrats, Jeremy! They're so adorable and such great pics too. I could never get my babies to sit still long enough to get a decent picture.

Wow, I just read through all of yesterday's drama. I'm sending good thoughts to everyone.
Wolftracks, I hope you're able to track down Bon Jovi.
Anna B, has the post office called you yet?!
Cheryl, eek, your poor house! Do you need help with clean-up?
Did I miss anyone?

Well this is a pretty surreal situation. No I don't need help cleaning up, but thanks for the offer. I wouldn't touch it! Apparently it's toxic. The TEAM arrived in HAZMAT outfits last night and started the cleanup. It's unbelievable really. It looked like a scene straight out of CSI. They brought in the big silver metal suitcases with vials and stuff. They rolled up all my oriental carpets to be thrown away.
They said they have to cut up all the walls 2 feet, take out all the kitchen cabinets, throw away all base boards...amazing. So they are back in the house this morning packing up everything we own on the first floor. I sure I don't need anything in those boxes.
They put us up at the Lafayette Park hotel but had to take the dogs to our fabulous vet. I got a call from them this am, didn't even occur to me that they may have eaten eat the bile and poop or licked it off their feet. So today they have diarrhea and the vet is treating them with probiotics, antibiotics etc. They are testing for giardea, cocci and a ton of other parasite/toxic things. Thank goodness I boarded them with the vet and not just a boarding place.
As you guys also know my dad has been in and out of the hospital and was scheduled for his 3rd surgery in 3 weeks today, in the afternoon, well I get a call at 7:30am saying that they just took him in to surgery. So we race over hoping to see him before but it was too late, so her I am typing this hysterical story while I await surgery to end.
I'm so blessed to have amazing friends. My best friend, Dyann, you guys know her as chooklet on here, came last night and picked up 3 incubators FULL of eggs and 30 week old chicks to take to her house. The poop flood hit the garage too as it came out of the washing machine line. Fortunately the chicks/eggs room in the garage is sealed so nothing got them!
So I think with the last 12 months happenings I have enough material to become a stand up comic. I won't need new material for at least 5 years!!

Is there a chance that anyone local has a NEW chicken shipper I can buy. I need to ship 2 large birds but the box I got was too small. If not I'll just order a new one, but thought I check here first

I'm hoping the last two that are in the incubator hatch today and tomorrow.

Thank you! I will do my best to get you a lovely little pullet this season.

How do I do that?

If only they could be mini chickens forever. I'd have thousands.

Renee, I took these pictures literally about 12 hours after they hatched, less even for the chick that is sitting down. They mostly stayed still because I don't know if they had quite figured out how to even stand up and walk yet!
I'm sure I'll go home today though and find them running around the brooder like little wild things.
They could be yours!

Cheryl, I just noticed your updated signature. How did you sex your Welsummers? Did you learn to vent sex?

Is that 100% accurate though?
