I went out to take new pictures of my birds, but the puppy wanted his picture taken. I gave up on the chickens, but here's Tommy!

Beautiful dog.

Thank you. I'm lucky to find someone to help me. I can't imagine wrestling some of these bigger girls on my own.

I'm lucky enough that the biggest birds here (for now ) are the twenty pound turkey hens. I can still pick them up, but any bigger and I wouldn't be able to put my arms around them. For health checks though, I straddle the turkeys. Their wings are strong and feel like you're getting punched if you get hit with one and the legs?! My little royal palm tom put a bruise down the length of my tuckus and thigh because I didn't pick him up securely.

I have some fighters. All of the small breeds and bantams I'm not worried about. It's the large girls like the Orps that have some fight to them.

I just put my order in for 10 Bantam Silky Ducks from Holdreadds.

I am so excited I can't hardly wait.

Also found a lady close to me that I am picking up 2 Silkie Serama Roosters and 6 silkie serama hens this Saturday.

Swindledana's eggs arrived today, she packaged them beautifully, but the post office did a number on them, 1 broken, 1 massively cracked and 4-5 detached aircells. They've been sitting upright in a cool room since 11:30am. Can I set them now, but not turn them, or do they really need to sit until tomorrow before setting?

You can set them, just don't turn them yet.
