Has anyone heard from Mayah the last few days? Just wondering if she is okay.
I'm here...just doing more family things this weekend.
East Colorado Springs.
And I am crossing my fingers about what's wrong. I have a roast dethawing in the fridge for tomorrow.
Worst case, we will do a Christmas Story dinner. Mandarin duck.
Lol... I loved that part from the Christmas Story where they had to go to the Chinese Place for Christmas duck.
We do chinese food and movie day at my house. Not sure yet what movie I'm going to watch yet though. I want Les Mis but suspect that will get vetoed. Last year, I watched the tom cruise movie and was able to mostly sleep through it, being disturbed only during the bomb scenes.
Wendell and Beth, so sorry on the news of the bone scans. Hugs to you and your family!
Mayah, when you do check back in, the oldest boy crowed today.
Wow, he crowed already? How is his temperament so far? The 2 from the first group are still silent. Any idea on the ratio yet on the second set? Someone said that fermented feed shifts the male to female ratio. It would be awesome if that were the case. I only kept 5 from both hatches and of them, 4 made it. The tiny one that my little girl wanted to keep didn't make it. I suspected it wouldn't. But all of them, but the grey one, have that mottled coloring to their feathers. Even the ones I was absolutely sure were from the green eggs, now I'm not so sure as they are black/white like the cuckoo marans.
But that said, of the first hatch, both are very, very friendly. The black/white gal flies into my lap.
Even though I swore your hatch would be the last of the year, my brother convinced me to continue hatching. I have a dozen or so pipping in the next day or so. I'm keeping a couple of them if they look anything like the last batch. I suspect 2 of my other roos are finally getting lucky as he had 3 that had beautiful coloring. The rest of his hatch were that same black/white mix. He wants olive eggers so this time, I mostly incubating green eggs with couple of dominque eggs.
I just realized, Wendell, you may be a grandfather of some dom/mystery roo chicks.
