She's lovely. Congratulations. ((((( ;-) )))))

I am 266 posts behind, long week! Miss Amelia surprised us by coming a bit early last weekend!!! She was born at 1:14 AM on Sunday, April 21 weighing 6 lbs 13 oz and 20 inches long. Forty eight hours of labor but she was well worth the wait!

I am SOOOOOOO happy! King showed back up early this evening. I was on the phone. It was pouring down rain and there he was. In the driveway just like he used to be. I tried giving him a couple of special treats but he didn't seem interested. Later I checked and he was back in the hen house like he used to be but rather than sitting on the roost he was sitting in the corner by himself. I guess my Brahma rooster must have convinced him he was the lead rooster. He looks awful. He was soaking wet and looks pretty beaten up but otherwise appears healthy. I really wish I had a place to put him and his two girls so he could just rule his little kingdom. I may have to see if I can find him some more ladies some where. Gold laced cochins of good quality are extremely hard to find.
It rained all day long today. I finally got out and fed the birds about 6:00 when we had a temporary lull. I had to dump all their feed pans because they were full of water.
I am so ready for some nice weather. It's pretty bad when the fencing guys can't even drill holes and get around with their heavy equipment in the mud.
Is the drought over or is this just a false sense of it before the rain stops and 100 degree temps return?

So where on earth would a rooster hide for three days? We looked under every building, every vehicle, and every hidey hole and didn't find him. I feel like my luck has turned around just with this one blessing. DH even went out and walked through the weeds and stuff looking for him. I just hope he heals and goes back to ruling the driveway like always.

So glad he's back. Maybe you can find a place for him and his girls.

Tomorrow is supposed to be warm and sunny. Fingers crossed.

Yay for King! Look on the Rare Chicken Breeds Auction, there are gold laced chicks on there for $10 each, I tried to have it send it to you, but you must have not gotten the notification. FB acts up a lot.

We're supposed to have warm temps for a few days & then I noticed cooler days again, gosh I'm ready for it to stay warm. There are still a couple 32 & 37 degree nights next week. At least the next few days are supposed to be warmer, so maybe if the mud will dry up a bit I can get out there & get a few things done. It sure was miserable & messy here today, ugh. My birds all looked like drowned rats & like they had been mud wrestling.

Trish those are gold laced brahmas. King is a gold laced Cochin. I do have a gold laced Dan Powell brahma though. He is part of my breeding program for brahmas. I had a female but lost her when the ghetto pen got sick. I am wondering if I put King in a smaller pen with his girls if he would do okay. He has always been able to free range. I know sometimes when I've penned some free range birds in the past they get depressed and refuse to eat. I am sure he would be okay if it were a big area but I can't afford to build him a big pen and house.
More decisions to make!
I've got to get on the phone and get a load of feed orderd. Then run to the coop to get it soon. I put it off yesterday cause it never quit raining. I didn't want a bunch of moldy feed. They said it could rain some this morning but it doesn't look bad out. I think I am going to run an extention cord to the green house across the driveway and put the geese in there. I am so sick of the mess and smell. I'm down to just one more goose egg in the incubator and I haven't checked to see if it is developing. It has another week or so to go.
I also need to find some time to go buy wire for the yard by tomorrow. Sometimes I just can't seem to stretch myself thin enough. I wanted to find some time to work outside while it was nice the next two days on the second hoop coop but there are just so many hours in a day.
