can they?

[poochell01]

Yeah just one but a much needed one lots to do lol. The turkeys are out with my 8 weeks old chicks they aren't ready to be alone yet but I want to get ready. I want to start the integration process with the little ones since they have at least a couple more weeks inside the last two days I think we got close to 70. I have incubated and hatched bearded dragons I'm hoping its similar for next year I want yo hatch a few babies I get bored easy like keeping busy lol. Some days though I like just laying around.

Well I guess there is lots to do. Ya being prepared is always best. Integration does take a long time it took mine over a week and even now they still have moments where they don't wanna be acquainted. I hope you do hatch a few babies I can see that. You sound like a very busy woman no matter what day it is lol. I have them days too. Usually its Sundays lol

 

[poochell01]

Lol. Well I managed to get the brooder cleaned and everyone fed and watered I decided to lay down for just a minute and passed out lol! Guess I will have more to do tomorrow lol. I did find some Turkey hutch ideas

 

[ducklover87]

Well that's a chore in and of itself lol. Yay for the turkey hutch ideas! You'll have to post pics. I don't have turkeys but would still love to see it.

 

[poochell01]

I totally will. Do you have pics of your duckie house. I'm going need some ideas for that to lol.

I have no pics but its not much. My bfs grandma used to have chickens and the coop parts ceiling is falling through so I use the side of the building with walls on all sides but the front. Although ts covered in hardware cloth and the door is basically just a dog house that I turn and face into the coop. Its not much at all but works for now. This summer I'm gonna build a Ducky palace. Its going to be 20x20 ft and they are going to have their own "stalls" for their breeds. As I plan to keep my breeds pure and sell the babies. And it will be big enough where I can keep any babies I don't sell

Nice that sounds awesome you'll definitely have to post pics when u get that built.

 

[poochell01]

We posted some pics of the painted coop on the coop thread its real cute the kids helped we got out the craft paint out and painted flowers bugs birds clouds all over it was fun. if you want to peek at them

how'd your day go? How the itty bittys ?

 

[ducklover87]

I will deff put up pics once its done. I'm gonna have to take a peek. It sounds cute. It was good worked a 4 to midnight last night. I go to bed at like 9 every night so having to stay up until midnight was horrible. Then my mom fell asleep after I called her like 2 diff times lol I didn't get some until 1. She felt so bad but I didn't care she came and got me and if worse came to worse I planned on just sleeping there and walking home in the morning. For a typical job that would sound weird but I work at a place for the mentally disabled. Its sorta like a nursing home but they have mental disabilities and they actually live in a house. The company I work for bought a couple houses and that's where they live. I got lucky and work at the best behaved house. The babies are doing great. My grandma was in town and came to see them. She hasn't seen them since they were like a week old. She was like wow them are the babies. She couldn't believe how big they had gotten or how beautiful. She's in love with my cayugas. How was ur day?

 

[poochell01]

Eww I hate late shifts like that. I used to do the same work!I hurt my shoulder though and had to have surgery ( boy I'm old that was about 10 yrs ago). So I can't really do all the heavy lifting and what nots I worked in homes for 10 yrs. Kids and adults. When we were growing up my cousin was handicapped and her and I were close my parents also did foster and respite (kinda like daycare) for disabled children I can't believe your up already. Lol I can just imagine your gmas reaction they grow so fast you don't expect them to be so big my day was good and productive didn't get everything done I wanted but was happy with my accomplishments. But my baby(daughter) is sick she started running fever waiting for drs office to open so I can call. So no work for me today
