Too bad you don't live closer because I am getting up to 8 eggs a day! I got a coupon for free eggs yesterday and just laughed at the cashier

The lavenders/splits are laying like crazy so I moved everyone around today and put them in with my lavender rooster. Made his day!

I will wait a few weeks to be sure they are pure before incubating their eggs.

My 5 buff x wheaten Ameraucana eggs are hatching

I have one hatched (colored just like a wheaten) two pips and two doing nothing. I hate these long drawn out hatches!
sad.png
The one that has hatched is the quietest first hatched chick I have ever had! I would be worried if it weren't so fat and healthy! Hoping it is a pullet. It is usually the roosters that are the cry babies!

I wish I lived closer too!

That is quite the change from Southern California. Our son lived in Escondido and we loved visiting him. He lives in Florida now and when we talked tonight he said it had been in the mid 70's today

Boy did that sound good!! It is cold here in Grass Valley too!

I am surprised the girls are laying as well as they are.

We are lucky to have inherited a house and 42 acres here from my husbands parents. I love all the wildlife, but they love to eat my chickens so we have had to get creative
lol.png
So far I haven't had them get any for a couple of years now

Second chick is out and is BIG & LOUD!

Definitely a rooster! Another wheaten colored chick (yellow) with dark skin around the eyes and wing tips. This coloring is what I have seen in the wheaten roosters when still wet. The Genetica chicken color calculator said the chicks should be buff Columbian clearnecked. Only time will tell if it is right

Kim R. how are your babies doing?
 
So tired. Went with my 2 youngest daughter, the older one's boyfriend and her best friend from elemetary school and Makayla to Home Town Buffet. Haven't been to one of those in almost 11 years. Then went Christmas shopping. I ate like it was a holiday. Well for me anyway. Thought I was going to fall asleep by the time we made it to Walmart. Just about did just standing up and leaning on a cart. I'm beat.

I have 5 chickies. I lost one of the ones from the 1st though.

I had moved them in with the bantam chicks that were older and I don't know if they killed it or it drowned in the waterer. It was big enough for that thing before, but that's where I found it.

Just talked about eatting and now I'm mad at myself for not grabbing dark chocolate covered cherries. LOL Man.

I think I may be coming down with something. I really haven't felt well all day. If I feel better tomorrow I'm going to take my gps to Radio Shack and see if they can figure out what's wrong with it. It may just be the charger, because it doesn't light up when I plug it in in the car. Hope that's all it is. If it works after that I'm going to drive by a few of the houses Olivia and I looked up last night. I really hope I can figure out a way to get something closer to what I want. I like it out here, but not my area and I miss being able to smell water. The only water I smell here is stagnant. Only time the bay smelled bad to me was the summers the sea lettuce would beach in Alameda. YUCK! Maybe I should just look for an acre some place and a really big cardboard box. LOL

Wonder if I'll wake up in time for the auction in the morning.I want to see what kinds of tools and supplies they have.

LOL! I've thought the same thing many times! Well a tent not a cardboard box. Sorry about the chick that didn't make it but congrats on the 5 new ones!!!
