My broody's eggs hatched yesterday on day 20!

She only had 3 eggs and all 3 chicks hatched! I thought that they were either pure Langshans or Langshan roos over SPPR hens. Two are blue and look like Langshans and the other is almost solid black! The blue ones must have hatched from the lighter brown eggs which I thought were SPPR eggs. The black one is the one that I thought would be pure Langshan based on the egg color. I think that I was wrong! My friend did have a couple mutt black hens in the field as well as at least 1 Jersey Giant hen. The little black one must be Langshan over JG or mutt. They are adorable anyway and Precious is so happy! She lets me feel around under her and pick them up to look at them. She is a good mommy!

Ron, I sent you an email, yesterday. Did it go in the junk file again? Have a wonderful day everyone!

I found the email and replied!

I am here all day but may need to go get Amanda some new shoes.

I trimmed my Oregano plant and have rounded up a feeder and water fountain for the boys at your place.

Do you want some Oregano?

Processing my first duck this weekend! He was already up on the chopping block but he now has a prolapsed penis so it's speeding up supper time a little. Poor guy. I have a pic if anyone wants to see. LOL It was funny- I was like hey honey I will hold the duck and here you take my phone and take a picture of his man parts. hehe It was like saying...hey pass me the biscuits...ahhh I love farm life!

sounds like an adventure! nothing so wild here, but I've let Eleanor start taking her two babies outside their little enclosure for the first time:


checking out some freshly-pulled weeds



she's such a good mama



and first time outdoors from the coop -- learning to peck at things!
