Hi SallyAnn!

 

[Sally Sunshine]

I'm not counting the minutes yet. Just give me time. I have put my mature roosters in with the hens and pulled the young cockerels who were trying to kill one another and driving the hens crazy. I left my mature Buff O roosters with them along with one of my Welsummer/Buff O cockerels. They will be a year in Feb and have completely overthrown the two year old Welsummer roosters who were until this past month, ruling the roost with spurs of iron. Since I want fertile eggs I figured I'd better go with the alphas since I want to hatch out some Buff O eggs as my Brinsea's initiation.

Now I just need to wait for the Buff girls to start laying again and then I will start counting down the days, hours and minutes till the first of March. Til then I have to settle for weeks.

ohhhhh!!!!

I cant believe you didnt SET YET!!! lol is it not buggin you at all? just look at that thing..... amazing miracles it sure does!!! sighhhhhh

Where we are at the meter gets "read" every other month the other month it's estimated. Sometimes it's high I have noticed a slight increase while running but nothing that would be alarming.

Also rates go up here all the time so it's hard to tell what is increase and what is usage.

I think it's odd because we got new "smart" meters.....

Our bill was up there in the summer but thats AC. now its almost double what our higher bill was!

Something isn't right...

@Sally Sunshine about that sapphire... He sleeps on the second rung, so always covered in poop. Also someone ripped his wattle vertically; it was already healing before I caught it, so I need to get a pic of that for advice. There's a hangy bit. This was my last pic of him:

Today I figured out where to put everyone to get me breeds and mixes without needing new pens. With the OE marans and the EE/cochin in the broody suite, if I round up the stray honas and put them back in the old coop, then put the HRIR quad in the ugly coop, I can leave the EE, CCL, OE, and other hens/pullets in the main coop under the sapphire and the EEs (until they get rehomed).

Plans are to start incubating these mixes by the end of January.

Kari is the hatched one. The egg is named Torvi.
