Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Or, precisely: dig out, dig out, no matter how deep.

My day got off to a great start; poured freshly-brewed coffee all over my leg trying to go down the stairs with too much in my hands.

Good evening everyone!! Congrats on the hatches!

My brood momma is still doing a great job. I love that I have NO chicks in my house. My favorite mottled little chick is possibly a girl. I had 7 blue SBs, 2 splash. 1 splash and several of the blues are getting some distinct combs. 1 splash, my mottled blue and a couple of others are missing any sign of a comb. They are only 3 weeks old, so I am not kicking anyone out just yet. But I'm hoping!!

I didn't really want to buy a new chicken coop. I want to someday expand my silkie pen. But, I belong to a farming co-op on facebook. You buy chances on things, and if your number is called you get the item. I bought a few chances on a coop. $20. I won it. So, now I have this coming.

This is much nicer than what my silkies currently have, so I have to figure out how to integrate this with their current coop. Not bad for $20.....

:congratulations Wow!

Well, that is awesome you were able to walk down stairs, had stuff to carry, and the ability to do so! Hope the rest of the day is that blessed

Anybody have a suggestion for keeping the milk in my kid feeder bucket warm for several hours?
It is like this one of my friend's. I don't have a picture of mine yet, but it has a lid.

Could have been ms too.

Maybe. I would have expected different symptoms and more than one bird out of the ~200 I've had being affected. Who knows.
