ETA: I think you deserve a 6 pack or better after the mowing!!!!

LOL, here is a funny pic that I found somewhere, I think maybe here, and I don't know who's it is,but here ya go-

That snake is definitely a goner!!
glad you got your grass cut- Your pics are beautiful, but I wouldn't want to have to be the one to mow it!

OK, so can anyone say "Sweltering in the South!" ?...LOL- you know, everything wet, 99% humidity, and 90 deg..............

OK....what was I thinking????

A few months back, in a fit of something, I ordered two turkey poults. The feed store called me today saying they had showed up, and could I come get them. After a"huh?" "Turkeys? For me?" "oh! Right! Turkeys!" I went and got my first ever baby turkeys.

WOW!! TURKEYS! The poults peep when they are hungry, so you can go over to their brooder and peck in their feed dish, and then they eat.

Congrats on your new turkey poults! They do forget to eat and drink! Do you have any baby chicks that you can put in with them to teach them to eat and drink? From one minute to the next they forget to eat and drink. My chicks kept mine going. They are fun, and so sweet enjoy them! What kind of turkey did you get?

Good Morning All !!!

YAY, Rain is gone!!!!!!!

Yesterday was crazy, weather wise!! I got all the young chickens in cages and back in the house,
It rained a little, then lots of wind through the night.........now it's just gone!!!!!! Not a breeze, not a rain drop, just gone!!

Thank God that storm was a fast mover!!

OK Guys and Dolls, I did talk with our Silver, she is ok, and in the throes of getting ready to make her journey. Saturday is the moving day, yep, you guessed it, Tomorrow!! So, I am guessing It is going to be a few days to maybe a week before she will be joining us again regularly.
Let's all wish her a great trip and send lots of good vibes her way!!!!!! She is a great girl and presently has an awful lot on her plate.

You GO Girl,

I hope Silver gets moved and that life will be good to her!

So, my kids are out of school as of yesterday, so you know what that means......YAY, I have help to finish the pens!!!!


That's great Chickn you should have it done in no time!

After getting all the brooders out. Then Peepers going broody again, and me having to bring her in and all the young chickens.....then this week my double ordered d'uccles came in , in the wrong color, I now have more birds in the house than I did before I got them all out!
There's a tower of chicks next to my front door 5 ft tall!!!!!

Question: Roos have a higher body temp in general, right? So I have one little Mille Fleur D'uccle that is panting constantly. The others are doing fine.......could that be an indication that one is a roo and the others hens? OMG, they are soooooo cute!! There's 5 in all, the 6th one didn't make the journey well. I guess I have not educated FSG well enough, because they were supposed to be Porcelains, not Mille's, but i am not going to complain, they're just too cute!!

I candled last night, my broody's eggs. Out of 8 total, 2 were inferts and the rest look good, far as I can tell. The blue eggs are dang hard to see into. so now I have going- 2 ee muts, another Pogo muttand 3 Peepers eggs, could be mutts, could end up being all silkie, or a combination of the two.........Let's hope for all silkie out of those 3!!!!!!!
DH found the candling interesting, but after the first 2 eggs, he was un-eggcited again.
Yesterday was day 10.

Have fun with all your new chickies!


OK y'all, have a great day!!!!

Chick
