Soooo.........I was looking through pictures to find buff chicks for Dar when I found this pic of Kella and thought I'd post it.
Young Kella....the first week of May...about six week old

I think setting by the moon phases, which this is, makes alot of sense. It's worked for centuries in many cultures. Just one problem.........St. Patty's Day isn't on there..........

So, are ya gonna go with St. Patty or a different date?

I see the 20th is on there....with the Icees....they are always early so I could set on the 20th and still be hatching with everyone else.....right?!

They won't all hatch and half will be roos. She's down to just 6 new chicks!

Read your sig line Kelly........says it all!!!

Mary and Daron are right......once you do the "math" , you won't end up with 25!!



Kleo was in the nest box again yesterday morning

.....so......I took her off and put her outside where everyone was having their morning "scratch snack" but she didn't want to eat and kept trying to get back into the barn. I chased her out and put a pail in the box she was sitting in and left to go to work. She was in a different nest box when I got home. I took her out and put her on the roost. When I went out later, she was back in the nest box again.

I put her up on the roost in one of the sectioned off coops and closed the door. I may have to take more drastic measures to break her.......
