G'morning peeps!! Thank goodness it is Friday!!!!! Anyone got plans for the weekend? I'm hoping to survive it considering the amount of work that still needs to be done.

Cream Legbar Club meeting tomorrow morning, meeting people with some chicks, livestock auction tomorrow, and the list goes on!

Quote: My Tiger Bronze have been ordered since last September, I believe, and they should be here in May. I am getting six of them (the limit). They were my favorite too. Porter's is only two hours from me.

I just love them, but I have 13 adult turkeys right now and 60+ eggs in the incubator. I'm not sure what I'd do with more, what with having a 15 poult min and all. I just wish I had gotten them in last year's order. Maybe eggs from you next year????????

Is anyone other than me worried about the PO x-raying these packages since the boston bombing and ricin crap? I was just sitting here thinking about that....

Update. I'm finally starting to feel a little bit better and will be investing in some new welded wire to fill in the gaps where the raccoons came in. I think the thing that really made me feel better was yesterday I had 5/6 Light Sussex hatch from Greeneacre and this morning, I woke up to 7 Crested Cream Legbar already hatched, 1 more CCL pipped and 2 more pipped eggs from what I think are Rhodebar eggs all from CPL and BM6. I'm going to brood these guys inside until I can secure the pens a little bit better since I DO NOT want a repeat of what happened with the raccoons.

Thanks! When I had all those chicks hatch, my heart melted and I remembered why I began doing this in the first place.

It just took some perspective.

I've come to realize, I will never get rid of raccoons completely out here, so the next best thing is to beef up my pens more to try and prevent this from ever happening again.
