Good morning Kris

Good morning! @Kris5902 Have you thawed out up there yet? It sure got cold with that big dip in temperature!

Belated condolences about Rosebud.

There is still some slush in shaded and cooler spots, but most of it melted. We dipped to freezing again last night. The chickens are not impressed

We did last night also, and tonight is supposed to be a hard freeze. Thursday we should be back to normal, though.

Better New's: My hatching egg's are shipping from Florida today and should be here on Friday. I have the tracking number on them now.

What kind did you say you got?

There will be 18 of the Black/Blue/Splash Naked Neck's, and 6 of the Black Copper Maran's.

I have two black copper marans in the brooder right now and I am working on getting some more blue/black copper marans. Send us some pics when they hatch...

If any of the Black Cooper Maran egg's hatch, I'll more then likely be selling them. My interest was in her Naked Neck one's. I ordered and paid for 2 dozen, but she only had 18 of those collected, so the 6 of the BCM's were thrown in to complete my 2 dozen order. The BCM have feather's on their leg's, so I can't really use them in my NN flock. These BCM egg's are pretty dark in color by the picture that she posted for me, so they shouldn't be hard to sell if any of those hatch.

Less rain would help too, here at least! I would love to see some pictures of your tractors. I find when they get a little stuck getting a hand and pushing the back while pulling the front helps. Part of the issues I’m seeing is also the entire bottom runner is twisting from the weight of the roosting box end and the lack of length on the inside of the tractor

This one I made on the large side 6'wx11Lx5.5'h and I can just lift my tow arm up and get it the "Tractor" . Its just a lawn tractor and not a "real" one. I made it for Del-Dot (regional joke) real name was Delores. anyhow here's a picture of it right after I moved it out of the Garage. Still hadn't put the hardware cloth on yet. Last Pic is Del-dot her first night in the tractor. And yes she was afraid of the dark so she got to have a night light
