Morning and Happy 4th to all!

Still no new hatched chicks, dang it.

Yoke sac chick passed last night.

I'm sorry you lost the chick! But congrats on the ones that are still doing good.

I don't know why anyone would paint the inside anyway. No real point in it that I can see. I've yet to hear a chicken complain.

I'm going to try whitewashing the inside of my coop with hydrated lime. This was in the helpful tips thread a while back.

Good morning all!

Last night my daughter and I had dinner with a friend. On our way home, as we were coming over the hill into our valley we saw about 10 cars stopped on the side of the road (no stopping allowed on this road). We pulled over a little further down the road to see what what they were looking at. The next town over was just starting their fireworks show. We got to sit in the car, all alone, several miles away, and look DOWN on the exploding fireworks. My daughter doesn't like loud noises, so with the car closed up tight, we could only BARELY hear the booms, so I turned the radio on for her. As people were traveling over that road, they would see the fireworks and pull over. So, by the time the show was over, there were a LOT more cars than when we started.

Now I have to go out and deal with broody hens. 2 that are broody are sitting on unfertile eggs. Every single egg I've gotten from that pen has been infertile. I'm going to move them into a protected area and give them a couple of eggs that are about 5 days away from hatching. The silkie broody that is already moved into a protected area seems to have kicked out an egg and broke it, so I have some clean up to do.

Happy hatching everyone!!!

Quote: I found that mine had kicked an egg out, too. I knew better than to try to put it back under her (my chain mail suit of armor was in the house), so I set it in front of her; she pulled it back under her again...it's still there.

I weighed myself a bit ago. I somehow lost another 2 1/2 lbs.

No way am I touching that one! Nope! Not never! Not in this lifetime
