I’m done with chicken names. It gives me a headache. I usually wait until they are 3 weeks old and by then, there’s a name for each one (personally).

I should be upset with you, but we all know my luck. To be fair, even though mom and grandma picked out the eggs, I have snuck and tweaked their choices. I'm going to try the new girls eggs since it has been proven it is the hens who determine genders. I'm also going to throw in the 2 cochin eggs. I have not yet tried to hatch a cochin egg for myself. I did manage to have 1 hatch when I let grandma fill the incubator. I let it go, but wouldn't you know, it turned out to be a pullet. I have 4 silkie eggs chiquita laid this week, I will not set them, I promised mom no more "fuzzies" this year.

Snowbird's fluffy butt. His is the only clean butt in the coop.

We're having the first fire in the wood stove today.

Nope, I put a stop to the house laying and she resorted back to the porch. So she will set on the porch this time around. I know what mom is thinking in letting her hatch. Really it is grandma who wants her to hatch again. Her health is declining steadily, she does not know it, but some of the tests they are doing is looking for cancer. She has been in congestive heart failure now for 15 years, that is also worsening at a rapid speed since the stroke. Yes, she still can drive us crazy half the time. The chickens seem to be one of the few things anymore that make her truly happy, especially the mommas and babies. I think it is terrible timing for me to have a hen hatch. I do not know or honestly think that she will be able to see them hatch next year. I pray that I'm wrong, but this steady decline is alarming.
