GOOD MORNING, SLEEPY HEADS. I HOPE YOU ARE ALL ABLE TO HAVE A GOOD DAY.
Good morning!!!! Lots to do today, needed that coffee!!!
You got some good advice, I think. So I'll just offer healing vibes.
Awwwwww..good morning...
I thought I would post my week old chick pictures...
They are all camera shy and turned their backs on me.
Last night/this morning, I dreamed that someone was in my backyard with two huge afghan hounds unleashed, just "looking" at my chickens because she was curious. I woke up when I started yelling and screaming at her, because one of my chickens had gotten - a Buff Orpington cockerel - and a dog was following her. (Not that I have any Buff Orpingtons...) Good grief - what a way to wake up!!!! (Yes, I checked, no one was in my yard.)
OK, so here's the thing. I know my chicks are just shy of a week old, but one of the Marans/Amer cross chicks is in there CROWING!!!! I SWEAR to you - seriously! I have had chicks (CCLs) that crowed as early as 2-3 weeks before, so I know what a baby crow is. How is that possible?!?!?!(If it is a crow, I guarantee it got it from grandfather Marans - some of the Marans brothers of these pullets crowed very early - they were also a handful.)
Woke up with a carpal tunnel flare (the price one pays for cutting all that HW cloth). I'm going to get some things done on the computer, then back to finishing those brooders. Then maybe I can get that little bugger and his friends into a bigger brooder and out of here. (It's getting crowded...)
(Hmmmmmm.... I wonder what the minimum order of Welshies ducklings is...)

This may be a little late to be of any help this time around, but if I have enough h/w cloth to make it worthwhile, I break out my side grinder (90* angle grinder) with a cutting blade; makes life a whole lot less painful...literally
Thank you.
