Hello

Wow, what a day, Silver, you had your work cut out for you. I'm not setting eggs, but there were a couple of times today, I really got nervous for some folks, and it still sounds like gardeningmama is in a pickle. Sad to here about your babies though.

Bush, if I ever get out of chickens for eggs and meat I'm gonna get some of those "toys" you call chickens. I think you called them top notch or top hats or something. I would just want to play with them all the time. They are sharp and so sophisticated looking. hehee Man, if a dude went to a park with a couple of those hanging out, you talk about a chick magnet. He would have a lot of attention. I guess it could work for a woman too! Do you show them?

I heard from chicknfun today, she's slammed and the weather isn't helping her either.
I did go and get the chickies from the pen outside. Their broody Mom's came off of them 4 or 5 days ago, too crowded in the pens. It's been warm outside so I let them be. (Just over 2 weeks old). But, with this weather, cold air and rains, I didn't want to take a chance. I put them in our outdoor bathroom off our back porch. I think I'm gonna just keep them close until they are a few weeks older since Mommy's can't keep them warm. Looks like we are about to get really slammed with a very bad line of storms.

Now I'm hoping the Easter pullets will be OK. They are in secure pens about 18" off the ground. Could get 4 to 6 inches overnight. I'll probably be out there checking with a spot light just to make sure. Coops are dry enough, just don't need a flood. Might move them in the shed tomorrow if the rain looks like it's going to continue on in this mode.
Still hope to get pics Sunday.
Hope all is well.
