@chicken danz you are right about the hatches. This is ridicuous. I have a 17 wk old Jubilee Orpington, 2 3 week old Jubilee orpingtons, 2 that hatched under my White orp, and 2 more from the incubator. SO I have 7 of them but not enough at any single age for anyone to be interested in buying them. The 17 week old is clearly female, I think I have a pair in the 3 week old, and the other 4 are a crapshoot.

These girls need to stop being broody.

Oh, I forgot about Copper and Graycie whose chicks are due next week (all English Orpington of various hues). Sigh. Some of these birds need to go.

Oh, and I forgot about those adorable Campines. They are delightful, they flock together everywhere. I need to sell a trio or a quad of them, too.

New topic:

We have gotten about 4" of rain total in this mess, but it has all stayed on top of the ground because the ground is pretty much saturated. The birds are all wading around enjoying the goodies that come to the surface. The dogs hate going out in the rain, mutter grumble. 40 days and 40 nights are ENOUGH.

I have to laugh at .43 inches. If this keeps up I'm afraid our totals will be more like 43.00 inches. Exaggeration of course, but if the rain doesn't stop soon it isn't going to matter what the total rain fall is. Too much is way too much.

While you guys are complaining about too much, we could still use more. We're nowhere near the "too much"mark.

I need to redo the coop run anyway. I want to put wire up on most of the roof so grass can grow. I have to rock in around the bottom and replace wood so it blowing off is just gonna make me move faster.

I love the positive spin. I think that is a common thread on here. Making the best of difficult situations.

Thanks! I do see that a lot hmmm wonder way people tend to be positive on here?

Oops!!! I think I've been complaining too much lately. Not too much positive coming from my mind these days. I never have done well with gloomy weather. I would much rather have all the curtains wide open than to reduce sun light.
I built a make shift trellis out of old dry wood that otherwise would get trashed. I put it where my cucumbers could grow up it and hopefully save some ground space. I am dealing with a much smaller garden area than I've used in the past. I still need to split some more lumber to finish it but maybe I'll do that later. I'm worn out for now. I still need to put up something for tomatoes to grow on but I will have to trudge in that mud another day. I also put in another pop door in the building but I have to cut the hole for the opening yet. It was raining here so I spent my day working on these projects in the building. I still need to finish feeding and watering cause I put it off while it rained.
I was trying to open up some more outside space so I could move some birds around in the building and hopefully get some of these poor things standing in water somewhere dry. .

Are you using a phone, tablet, or computer?  What operating system?

On my phone, but not an app. Through chrome.

OK, on my phone (a Samsung S5) it says that the html reply box is in Rich Format and that the browser doesn't support it. I'll try posting a picture from there and see what happens.

Ok. Lets see if that works.

Yup, it worked from here. I have OS version 5.1 on this phone. It hasn't upgraded to 6.0 yet. Maybe yours is a different system.
