INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[cabinchicky]

Perfect sense! I do that often!

Problem is it made sense to me too. Some things don't even make the list unless they demand it. Always in maintenance mode it seems.
I've got 15 new chicks that need a bigger grow out pen. They're ok for next few days.

In maintenance mode big time while I am on vacation, spent most of today dead heading planters/hanging pots so I have flowers after the 4th.
We were going to go to hog roast today but hubby woke up with ear ache and fever. He's pale and cold, had a hoody on with jeans and long sleeve t all day. Said it feel like it's going down his neck too. Got him to take Tylenol but won't do a warm compress on it or cotton ball in his ear. Really drives me nuts when I look up how to care for him then he only will let you do bare minimum of it. Just love banging my head against a wall.

First, thank you for all the bday wishes.

Second, if I keep this up I'll catch whites sooner than I would have expected.

Third, that's probably my 4th bday this year.

(insert laughing rooster guy here that MC has)

ROFL! Four birthdays? That's impressive. Hey, how about every day is Chaos's birthday? Then he can catch up to Whites faster!

though the duckgirl is trying to win longest multi quote

Yup. Either that or I just have something to say about everything, which could be considered a big mouth ......

..... ummmmm so lets say that's not the case ......

OMG I JUST REALIZED THAT MY DUCKS ARE HATCHING IN T-8 DAYS I REPEAT T-8 DAYS! wow i cant belive 21 days have passed

No babies as of lunch time. I'm leaving in the morning to spend three days in New Orleans. Hoping now she holds out til Wednesday.

I dreamed she had boy/girl twins, one black with white and one white with black (like her first set). They were curly like poodles.

LOL! It'll probably be while you're gone, but let's hope not!

Oh that was on that list last week and this weeks list was to take care of that list but since I didn't get this weeks list done last weeks list trumps this weeks list and moves to the top of the other list. Make sense?

I think it makes sense to everybody here.

And then there were 4. Smallest black one is the yoke sac problem chick. I am not positive yet but the one looks to have blue down on its wings, bit crusty the last two but not as bad as the first. Tried to clean em and didnt have much luck. Yes I need to put paper in need to get some. Guys burned my pile I had for the brooder.

Just checking, you do not mean sheets of newspaper do you?
To be honest, I don't put paper towels down anymore. I do watch to be sure they are not eating the bedding though.

Sometimes maintenance mode makes me crazy.

I was pretty sure I remember at least two of them. Only known him for 6 months.

So while I was debating which list to do the girls have been hard at work.

Broody and hens eggs for the day.

Yes entire sheets of newspaper, brooder box I am using is bottomless and on concrete floor of barn. Been using it for 3 yrs now. Just didn't get it swapped for this batch.I thinking he has earned infection.

So far no more peeps or pips. Think I may run bator till Monday for sure. These were shipped eggs and all looked good upon arrival. I let them rest after I undiapered them for 4or 5 hours before setting them. Had 21 and last candle looked like 10 and 2 more possibly. So I keeping my hopes up since they are popping so far apart. Once bator is empty I going to clean it and bring it upstairs somewhere and set quail eggs. Mmmm mmmm nom nom nom.

Amazing what a little piece and quite will do. My roosters are still here. Will have to build another grow out coop for the May chicks if they stay for awhile. Tomorrows list.

what do you build for grow out pens? Any pictures?
