Silly Sally, weeds don't count!!

Well, I had a bountiful weed crop as well... Green beans still going at it faster 'n I kin pick.... Flowers are beautiful.... Cucumbers are okay, but the zucchinis are the BEST!! They're getting shredded and frozen for winter, along with the blackberries.

Zucchini muffins for breakfast.... Yeh, I'm so naughty.....

I think our chicken obsession is rubbing off my husband. He just told me he wanted a couple malay, or java chickens, because the hens are "brutal and will protect the flock better than any rooster."

Well, a chick hatched. Unfortunately he looks to have the same issues that we had with our hatch last spring. There was a bunch of yucky gunk that came out of the shell with him and his navel is bloody. His abdomen looks swollen too. I think I will try and take him out in a few hours and get him eating and drinking. I think that helped the chicks I had last Spring. They all survived, so I hope this one will also.

My husband assured me that he cleaned the incubator thoroughly with bleach, so not sure why we are still having this issue. I guess that explains the poor hatch though. :-(

OMG!!! THEY ARE SOOOOO CUTEEEEEE

Thank you

look how cute!!!!!  what kind? 

They are Muscovy. Hopefully, we can name them friendly and not so skittish.

I think the silver one is a boy just based on how big he is. The two new ones are 3 weeks old (as of Saturday). I'm not positive how old Cocoa is but I'm guessing now 2-3 weeks just based on size.

Oh no! Why do you think it's the incubator?
