Well I'm back. Antique machinery show is over and tractors are all back home along with the borrowed semi and trailer.

I have to admit I'm getting really sick of my fiance being.gone most of the week. Leaves Sunday night and returns Friday night cause his job is a hour and half 1 way away and he drives truck for a living. Am I being selfish by saying I'm tired of it? Been over 5 years of it.

oh man 50 would have loved to go to a tractor show................. he is an enciclopedia on tractors and work on them and all that ........tractors are as big as guns with him....I just find it so weird.. he has absolutely no farm genes in him from a line of city folk........but then he is like this tractor genius

@minihorse927 , Jungle Jim's has all those crazy fruits. Trader Joe's might also. Meijer's sells the pink lemonade lemons.

@seminolewind , We went to a pool park the other day for a bday party and DD was mad that I told her to take a shower beforehand. Then when we got home, I told her to take another shower. Pool water

I see all those people and some look like they are taking their weekly bath. There's not enough chlorine in the world to kill all that.

We got 7 eggs yesterday. The other day DD collected and left the eggs in the bucket back there, when we went back later that night to close the door, the hens were all having a feast. Egg all over their faces! So, I think we have some egg eaters. Going to buy fake eggs today after work & try to break them. If not, my feed bill for the winter is certainly going to lighten

5 new fluff balls in my house! I checked the last egg and it looked like a death during hatch...

I didn't see a beak in the big end so i think it was positioned wrong.

How do you think these will feather out? Dad is a black Orpington and mom is the EE (I'll attach a picture). 4 look like the one in the first pic, and one has a bit of a brown tinge to it.





She doesn't know she's a mom now...

And dad is a fairly big black Orpington, no pictures of him right now. So the hope is they'll grow a bit bigger then mom!

Looks like I deleted the pictures... If I remember correctly she was, brown/yellow black... I'll have to look through my facebook uploads when I get home tonight. Maybe there is one hiding there.

That fuzzy face is quite mean, I once tried reaching into a nest box once while she was trying to lay an egg. Lets just say all my other chickens try and peck at their worst, the EE hit the ceiling, feathers all puffed out. Normally she stays at a distance, guess she felt cornered.

Is it normal that I want to go home so I can play with the fuzz balls?
