They can define the word Jerk. Ben is alpha but Diesel will jump in and correct the others. His idea of correction is turning into the Tasmanian devil. He does that and we point to the utility room and say TIME OUT! He will march in, lay down on his bed and wait for his 5 minutes to be up.

Ours just turned 3. I looked at them the other day and asked them if and when they were ever going to get any commons sense. They just gave me that sappy cattle dog smile that they are so good at.

That is so important, Sour. We are changing vets because of that very thing.

Our vet here failed to respond to our pleas when our Sidney fell ill last year. We never bother them unless we have to and given that we are both medical professionals,, you would think that we we said that our girl was seriously ill they would have responded better than they did. But they didn't and she wound up suffering days longer than she should have.

I need to deal with Drs. that when I say help, they take me seriously.

Good morning everyone. Working on my third refill of coffee this morning. Next three days are rainy here.

7 of the 8 eggs in my incubator are developing nicely. I had to pitch one this morning due to the dreaded ring of death appearing.

4 days down and 17 more to go!

I need to put chicks in a bin and lock down more today

 

[microchick]

How many in this hatch, @CapricornFarm?

How many in this hatch, @CapricornFarm?

Eight. Which is good considering some of the eggs were older. I no longer have a proper flock of bantam cochins, these few that hatched plus about 6 roosters. Ugh. They need to go. One lone bantam polish.

I did a head count this morning. Including my bantam hens I have 19 laying and about half of those are 3-4 years of age now.

I've got 7 Fayoumi eggs in my incubator due to hatch on good Friday. Any hens that go broody will get 3 or 4 eggs to hatch and the roosters go to freezer camp.

I also have at least 5 roosters slated for freezer camp now. Just waiting for the weather to break so I can stand to be outside to getterdun.

All of the dogs are good looking and sounds like they are well trained.

 

[CapricornFarm]

One more cochin baby hatched, so 8 plus one bantam polish.

micro, You've done good by those dogs. They've turned out better than expected.

sourland, I'm sorry to hear about Maggi's experience. Hopefully it was a fluke.

 

[Ladies-Eight]
