Ah, YES, ok, now I see it. Agree - if that's the pancreas it looks bad. Good eye!

I know pancreases, mine is crap lol

Congrats!!!! Moving out day is always such an enormous relief. I still need to build my growout tractor for the littles (currently about 2.5 weeks) - I still have another week or two, but I know that'll be up in no time... At least with this new brooder I built it's easier to clean frequently... And I bit the bullet and bought some peat to put in with the brooder bedding (yeah, I know, horrible for the environment, but really good brooder bedding). They are LOVING it, digging their little brains out!

It is a HUGE RELIEF !!! Lol Coming home and checking the littles from the Easter HAL was so much easier and a HUGE weight off my shoulders, trying to keep up with the older ones messes and the flying about and trying to escape the brooders out there, etc!

Pheeweeeee!

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I dropped in. I'm almost 100 PAGES behind lol. Hope everyone is good and I didn't miss anything exciting.

It was a beautiful day here today! We were super busy all day working outside. I even got some sunburn! We borrowed my dad's truck and picked up a load of mulch. Turns out we'll have to borrow his truck again since one load was nowhere near enough. We also picked up some 6 x 8 ft fence posts from tractor supply to use for raised boxes and had 5 tons of top soil delivered. We didn't even get to that before hubby had to go to work. The chickens were quick to discover the new mulch and promptly started digging in it hmm.png I'm still waiting for them to notice the giant pile of dirt in the garden lol.

Tomorrow, we're making a trip that I really don't want to make. My Pappy has a friend that owns a chicken farm that he's just dying to take me to and show me. I guess this guy has 10,000 chickens (laying hens) supposedly free range. My aunt was there and said that they all have their beaks trimmed and have minimum coop space (not surprised). She said that I'm not going to like it. Pappy is so excited to show me but I really don't think he has any clue. It's going to be so hard not to cry but I have to try my hardest not to. Pappy isn't in the best health and has been in and out of the hospital a lot lately and I don't want to show that I'm upset over it all. Wish me luck. I'll have to report back on how it was.

Glad you dropped in and are well. The biggest news of the last 100 pages is that @NaJoBeLe
and his wife are having twins.

Thanks @kwhites634

Jack, if you get those eggs to hatch that I sent you after the PO lost them for 6 days, it will be a miracle. I can't even imagine what happened to them. One thing I do wonder about though is the condition the eggs were in when you got them. I had them packaged Sally's way & additional packing material. I'm wondering if their extended stay in MI included being in a unheated vehicle or loading dock. That could have caused the 3 to crack & 3 of them to be broken. Makes me still scratch my head. Did you candle the tops yet to see how the air cells are?

All right this time for real, Good Night!!!
