oh yes they have the fire under control 2 deaths, and 400 some houses burned.. you could see it from a grocery that i go to.. but yup all under control, pulled out the military air support i think they are up tp 55% contained... maybe 75%. going to be using the berry picking to make my uncle get out and do something (70) and to show his grand daughter theres more than just berries in a basket at the store.we are giving her a duck for christmas.. currently dads hen is sitting on about 19 eggs. so we are culling all but 2 hens and a drake.
Your babies are so cute! Just love me some little fuzzy butts!Hi Everyone!!
Hoping today is a terrific day everywhere for everyone!!!!!Boy, That's a tall order!! LOL
OK, I promised I would post pics. Here they are:
Well, I guess I don't have a pic with all 4 of them out from under the mama together.
I say 4 because I had to put down one. The one in the blue egg.
It hatched, I walked by the brooder, and saw it. Then about 2 hours or so later I was in my room, and I heard all this horrible cheeping. When I came and looked, the poor little thing was trying to walk, dragging what looked like intestines behind it, blood everywhere, and a lung sticking out between its head and wing. OMG, It was a terrible sight!
So, I put the little thing down. I hope I don't ever have to do that again!!
Anyway, here's the breakdown of what I ended up with-
2 silkie x silkie- one is marked like a chipmunk, and the other is dark blue with a tinge of brown
on head, and brown rings around its eyes- I have to guess that the first will be a
regular partridge silkie, and the second will be a blue partridge, like the mama,
hopefully with more of the blue.....Let's hope for hens
1 mutt x mutt- white with some black splash in there, just like the last batch.
1 silkie x mutt-white, no spots......yet
Again, Hopefully hens- i am quickly becoming overrun with roos.....LOL
Tony- sorry you are stuck inside and can't get stuff done. You have been working so hard, and I know how frustrating it is to be stopped by the rain, maybe you need a break-
Alaskan- Thanks for bringing the unanswered posts button to our attention. That is the BYC spirit!!!
I have seen other chicken forums, but I have not participated on any. I just am comfortable here, and most members are not stuffy, if you get my drift. I love BYC,
and this is where I am staying!!
Chickadoodles- glad you got a syrup order- pm me with details- do you only fill local orders? what kind of syrup? Hope you got rested up from the catching of all those birdies!!!
I had one get out the other day, and it took me a good hour to catch her- i was running around after her yelling for help, but no one heard me with the windows all closed and a/c running....rotten little chicken......fast little buggers!!
I need a net, and I'm fresh out of mealwormsHope the rain nets you some great fruit!!! What kind of fruit do you grow? Forgive me if you have said and I missed it
(me)....LOL
Ok, I am going back now to get properly caught up, and make sure I didn't miss something!
Which chickies Lilmynx?
