4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE. Kinda, maybe not happy, sigh. Dirt roads are all packed with people getting away for the day so kinda, maybe Yay!

Oh my Margie, that is surely NOT acceptable!!!

I've got a longer road to recovery than I realized.

Losing a parent is VERY difficult. Give yourself time

Good morning, Cafe.
It's a very lovely morning here indeed. Nice a cool and not raining. Time to beat the gnats and get the dogs out for a run.
Have a great Sunday everyone!

 

[Mtn Margie]

Good morning! Brewing and steaming going on so bring your favorite cup.
They said snow flurries and rain this am but I see blue sky patches and sunshine coming through the clouds...

[Shadrach]

I have more hatching many such days the truck stops along the freeway all gone..
Use to meet my brother all gone now .. Do you think a simpler times might come back ?

I doubt it Penny, at least not in a good way.

 

[Shadrach]

I'll have a cup of steaming thanks Margie.

Cloudy and warmish here.

Thanks for the coffee this morning, Margie. I'm such a scatter brain I opened up the Cafe and neglected to brew a pot.

Good morning, Cafe, and thanks for the coffee DL. Oh wait, that wasn't you.

I doubt it Penny, at least not in a good way.

Oh, Pooh, Shad - don't be like me.

good afternoon Cafe. Thanks for the coffee Margie.

Eve got off the nest with 4 littles, none of which is grey, so Barry has been firing blanks, or the hens' dislike for him extends to ejecting his semen even when he does manage to mate one There are 3 in varieties of black and 1 chipmunk.

One of Aneka's was dead, perfectly formed, but had failed to extricate itself completely from the shell, and had been squashed onto the yolk of another broken and evidently infertile egg. The other was in a similar position, but not dead or squashed, just abandoned. I brought it in, warmed it up, and am hoping for the best. There is no way this one could keep up with the four she's already teaching to forage, but I shall try to smuggle it in with her tonight, under cover of the chaos of getting the littles up the ramp and into the coop for the first time. If it's meant to be, it will catch up in due course.

MaeDay caught up but that was mostly due to Kerrie's refusal to take them out of the maternity ward until they were about 2 weeks old.
If the chick hatches, could/would you isolate Eve and her brood for a couple of days to give the late hatcher a chance to catch up?
