Hello from Tampa!!


Floridachicken1958- That stinks, only 203 roo left!!! lol

We had some Hawks flying above (2) and later some voltures...3 of them!! (they creep me out! lol) Good thing we have that big tree on the backyard and the DW got me a hommock...so I was out on my new "toy" watching the girls. 2 of them decided to jump on with me too! lol

Okay, Juan - you left yourself open to this one...maybe the vultures were checking to see if you were edible?

Your hens are smart, they know to stick close to the flock keeper!

Sorry!!! Been so busy btwn last night and today getting everything in order I should have done days ago...here's the update:

We have a baby!!! Well, it hatched out last night, but I didn't get around the boards until now...So, without further ado, here is what is supposed to be the result of an EE hen and a naked neck roo...(baby doesn't appear to have the "naked neck" like I've seen on other babies)...Oh, and sorry for the crappy cell phone pics:

Baby is doing quite well today! Eating small amounts, but I'm sure that will increase the next few days...Momma hen, Beaker, is such a good girl...don't think I could have asked for a better Momma! We have ventured into the yard a few times, and I'm guarding her like heck from the other hens, that are very curious...My RIR hen already grabbed her and tried to sling her (of course the one moment when I was looking away...little brat), so the "big girls" are NOT allowed around the chick for the moment...(they are all out in the yard, but I keep them at a distance...)...Oh, and another egg is in the process of hatching! This baby is a first generation Olive Egger baby (EE hen X BCM roo)...I have to get ready for work in a little while, so I'm crossing my fingers all goes well while I work the overnight shift...there are 8 more eggs in the nest, so I'm excited to wait and see what happens...hopefully I'll come home to a another healthy baby or two in the morning!
