Thanks! I was just looking for these! hows the pup?

She's doing great. Growing big. The shipping was fast on those. Shipped one day, I got them the next day.

Tarantulas fed, roaches cleaned and divided into 2 bins. Now to figure out the mealworms. May dump them into a rubbermaid tub and start taking the beetles out and placing them in a separate container.

Fodder system will be here this week. Will have to make room for that. Garden seeds are sprouting. Need to get more tomato varieties though. Compost pile is done thanks to the neighbor. I need to make a list of things that need to get done once DH gets home. Hope he is well rested. The next month or so is going to be crazy around here.

where did you buy a fodder system at?

Well, this has been an interesting morning. Both good and bad.

I had to put down my one Mille Fleur bantam Cochin rooster. He's always had raspy breathing. It was nothing contagious - I think he had a round of pneumonia before I got him and was never treated. Well he got worse this winter. So bad that any little bit of exertion made him pant and the raspy breathing could be heard 30' away. I felt it was time to just put him out of his misery. I had a severely cross beaked bantam Ameraucana chick hatch last weekend. I have never had to put a chick down and I stood there bawling. It was the sweetest ones (it's that how it always happens). It would sit on my finger and let me rub it's muffs and it's fall asleep there. -sigh- It's beak got really bad in the last 3 days, and I knew within a short period of time it wouldn't be able to eat. So, I did what I had to.

The good is that I have hatched my first batch of chocolate bantam Orpingtons! I am so happy! I also hatched one black 100% English bantam Orp from TKay's eggs. The one I thought looked weird from the beginning quit, I believe. I have 2 new MF bantam Cochins and a couple of my Ameraucanas, too. I thought the one chocolate chick wasn't going to make it. It didn't absorb everything and it was shrink wrapped so I had to help it. It made it, though!

Now, hopefully the duck eggs hatch...

Half-Pint Homestead. I'm no good at building anything and we have so much to get done in the next month or so, I didn't want another building project. So for me, buying one was the best option.

It is but no biggie.

Speaking of CCL eggs, I have 18 eggs cooking from my birds (for someone else). Anyone want to take a guess as to how many White Legbars I'll hatch from 18 eggs????

I will say 10 will hatch out.

I need to get a list of scents from you. And can the detergent be used in a HE washer?
