The play sand is what they use in kids sand boxes no additives in it.

No additives (unless you have cats!)

Good morning pretty ones! I see you’re enjoying the day!

I was afraid to look, but in my stocking this year I found…. NO COALS! Yay, that’s the first time in forever that I haven’t received any!

Merry Christmas Alex, I hope you and the chooks have a good day.

How is your weather there today? Still chilly?

I might go to Walmart and get a Silkie this week!

Ewwww! That’s why sand boxes have lids on them so kids don’t play with stuff they shouldn’t!

Foggy. Nobody around here knows how to drive in fog. It’s dangerous to good drivers.

Hahahaha ok here goes:

Broody gals - in my case it will likely be someone other than the obvious ones - like say Blanche who has never been broody!

Hatch rate is 50percent ( Henny Penny hatched her 4 eggs - 2 pullets and 2 Roos).

Sneaky Broodies - well I think my Mum would have a bird if she couldn’t find one of them! And not really any place they can hide away, as for multiple broodies - ya, that’s more likely! But Mum is brutal about removing eggs hahahaha! And she is also adamant about no more chickens!!! So thankfully I don’t have a situation like @RebeccaBoyd does.

Can you imagine what my mother would do if Henny Penny or Marty came sashaying out with a brood of babies?! There would be some words!!!!

You know, I was trying to be nice since Karma kicked me. That being said I feel you and @bgmathteach are poking fun at me over my rooster dilemma. You really will when I give out the final update on the new hatches boy/girl ratio now that some very late bloomers let themselves be known as boys....my ratio was not nearly as good as I thought at 4 weeks. So, I have one broody hen, I'm not afraid of Karma. Come the end of February or First of March Wee Miss Marty is going to come strutting along in the barn with 7 chicks in tow. You just wait.

Fog can be worse than snow…
