Yikes! that's expensive.

Especially with two kids drinking 6 gallons a week between them.

@mlm Mike Here are my two pairs from Monday night and yesterday morning.

My 11 chicks are all doing well, eating, drinking and already little poop machines. In a perfect case of irony, true to my prediction, my Welly pullet is broody. After dissuading her a couple of days, I came home after being gone all day to find her pancaked down on goodness only knows what besides the three ceramic eggs in the nest for the new layers, staring blissfully out into space and screaming like a banshee at anything that had the bad judgement to go near her. She is 8 months old. I guess tomorrow I'll see if I can get some more bantam eggs from my neighbor and swap out the fake eggs and whatever else she is parked on for the bantam eggs. I'm at capacity with 22 layers now so I'm not doing any incubating or brooding of standard sized chickens this year.

To increase the irony, I went in the coop to also catch one of my 6 month old OEGB pullets as flat as a pancake on 3 more fake eggs and two Welly eggs. She was off the nest 15 minutes later so I pulled the fake eggs and gave them to broody Dolly who immediately tucked them under her and went back into her trance.

Like she couldn't have done this this three weeks ago. Silly hens, that's why God made incubators.

lol, good luck!!

Found something interesting to day, an anole tried to cross the electric wire.

thats too bad

GOOD MORNING, RACE CAR FANS! WE ARE REVVING UP FOR ANOTHER EXCITING DAY OF WATCHING A BUNCH OF "ADULTS" DRIVE AT TOP SPEED AROUND A TRACK. WILL THEY TURN RIGHT? WILL THEY GET LOST? IT IS ANYONE'S GUESS!!

I am happy to report that Chaos gives fabulous tasting milk

I have been giving it all to the boys, because at $5.00 a gallon the raw cows milk I was giving them was breaking me. I stole some last night for this morning.

that is just so strange sounding

I tried to behave myself

we appreciate that
