This little roo (named Butter) was wearing a cat harness "just in case" in this picture; he was calm enough, but we really didn't want to risk a chase around the parking lot if he lost it for some reason.View attachment 1873967

And here he is checking his tweets on the way home.

And people say I'm not the full ticket.

Saturday is rooster processing day, wish me luck!

I candled the 2 shipped eggs tonight, they both have veins but loose air cells. I read a few interesting articles about how long to turn eggs while incubating, and I've been considering the dynamics of this project. My head is spinning
Anyway, Happy Weekend everyone. I'll be up and out very early tomorrow but hope it's a great day for all if you

Will you use a second incubator or will your raise the humidity the day before each group is ready to hatch.

Both will work but a dedicated incubator for hatching is best

This is Knock and her three chicks. She still has one egg she thinks is okay it seems.
Notch, her man who lives in the same coop has been really good with them.
Bound to have some ramp issues with the chicks but that's usual here. Mum really needs a bath and if she doesn't hatch the remaining egg overnight I'll take them all out for a while later in the day.

Too cute!
Did she only have 4 eggs in her clutch?

 

[Shadrach]

She started off with six eggs. I confiscated two on day four.
I have another sitting. Ruffles is out and about with her chick and Tackle will be wanting to sit in a couple of days.
I can't wait for autumn when hopefully the hens will be less prone to going broody.

Sounds like a full day! Have fun!

More than full enough. Also went to Home Depot and picked up some bagged mulch to be spread tomorrow.

Biting my tongue

Me too.

What are you going to see?

"Racing in the Rain" - a family's life as told through the eyes of their dog. The book was very emotional so I am taking clean handkerchiefs for the Princess and me.

Maybe you won't draw too much attention to yourselves . I remember in the early 60's my dad dropping my brother and myself off at the walk in theater to see "West Side Story". I remember at one point someone got stabbed to death and my little brother went to boo hooing. Well the whole theater was turned looking at us. I'm sure I turned about 3 shades of red.
