My bator is hatching right now. Still only one out; but 2 of the ones that were pipped this morning are zipping and several more are pipped. I'm hoping I wake up to a lot of chicks.

I came home to halibut roasting in the oven. Smells wonderful

Nic cooking again? Pass me a plate please.


I had hot dogs tonight cuz I was too lazy to cook. The thermometer on my grill/smoker must have been filled with water. It exploded and sent glass shards into my face. One chunk hit my left lens. Thank God I'm wearing glasses today. A second piece sliced open my temple. I got hit a few other places and the blood just started gushing. I had one of those "this may be bad" thoughts as I ran up to my bathroom. Just a little slice across the temple bled a lot.

Now I got a bandaid on my face.

Oh, to make it worse I got royally beat up by a big piece of air drying equipment today. My body feels like I did P90x and then wrestled at least 3 times.

Oh my goodness!

I didn't know our hatches were due at the same time! Mine are just mutts from my coop - I'm "testing" to see if my Welsummer x Barred Rock are going to be black Sex-links (but, really, I was just wanting some chicks in the house again.)

Ella has been helping me bator-watch all day.

I can sleep just fine. Usually, I like to linger in bed and wake up slowly, but when I know chicks have probably hatched in the night, I bounce right out of bed to see what I've got.

I bought a really cool CD of rock songs with funny lyrics for the kids and one of the songs is called I Need A Nap. It's really cute! Now I'm singing it in my head

Mine is a test hatch too. I wanted to see what the new roos were doing. So far so good. The ameraucana looks like a splash. The EE is a mutt blue (white/buff mom and blue dad). One of the brown eggs is zipping right now.
Bator watching is the best!

Are you keeping the babies or selling them?

I'll probably sell at least some of this batch. I want to grow out some of the sex-links to make sure they really are sex-links, but I don't want to keep them forever.

Your cochins are due Monday.....

Oh.... I'd not realized so soon... (i've been attempting pacience). I'll set up the brooder in the playroom.

I'd decided to do banties in the back yard, but there was none locally (all 3 feed stores ordered LF).
