Number 2!!!! He hatched at the small end...go figure! Again, another strong lil' bugger!!
Lisa or Cyn, what's the thing about leg color and sex? One of the BRs has black legs, and the other has pink...who's who?
Yeah, I worried about that the first time I took Emma out to meet the chooks a few years back. This was the dog that would stalk the sparrows at the bird feeders as a pup! lol! But, I took her out with me every time I'd tend to that very first batch of chicks, and later, to the coop. At first, I'd park myself on a folding chair, and let just Emma do her thing. Anytime she started showing too much interest in the birds, I'd just give her a low and serious "Emma, noooooo". I sat with her like this a couple of times, for a bout 30 mins at a time, and that was all it took. At the old farm, Emma was primarily an outside dog (she was terrified of the old hardwood floors thoughout the house...
), and not only would she not disturb the birds, but she'd break up fights, and tree any hapless racoon that thought he'd get a quick and easy meal. I'm really lucky to have such a clever girl...she gives the "b" word a good name!
#3!!! Holy Moses! That one came fast!! I last checked the hatcher 10 mins ago!!! They're going like dominoes!!!!
