Oh, I forgot to add that some of my barnyard mixes are hatching as of last night. Perhaps I can paint them
black and sell them as pure bred. NOT!!!!!!!!!! LOL. A guy asked me to hatch some mutts for him for his kids, so I threw some eggs under a broody and they started hatching last night. I have to move them this morning to a brooder. They are in the chicken house right now.

AHHHHH....designer chicks!!!!
I'm going to talk to the kids today about "horn dog". Only, shame on me, I won't tell them the family he will go to will eat him.
Checking in with a couple of updates from my little farm aka my backyard.
Yipee!!! My first Silkie hen (or hen of any kind for that matter) who laid her first egg on the 7th has gone broody with 12 eggs in her nest!
I'm relatively confident the eggs are fertile. I cracked her 1st two eggs - one was definitely fertile, the other I wasn't sure about. The roo is black and hen is blue. Both are from Bobbi Porto so the chicks should be gorgeous if everything goes well and they hatch. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Next is more of a question about the coop Stormey is in. It is a predominantly open pen with 1/2" hard cloth floor and walls. There are a couple of paneled areas to protect against weather and wind. The pen sits 4" above a raised wood deck and her nesting box is a milk crate with hay in it. All-in-all, everything is open or has holes - the milk crate on hard cloth raised above a raised deck. I'm worried about her being able to keep the eggs as warm as she needs to with no solid surface underneath. Should I slip something under the crate/nest to help hold the heat?

One of my hatched babies.
Fuuny and true story....
So I'm out at 7:15 this morning getting my morning run in and I see a dog that is about 50 feet in front of me in the middle of the road. Well then I see a truck that is about 75 feet in front of me and the person driving is flashing their high beams off and on. So I assume that this is someone that knows. So the person keeps flashing their lights. Well as I jog closer and closer to the dog and after I put 2 and 2 together, I figured out that the driver was flashing his lights at the dog so that the dog would get out of the road. I praise the driver for being concerned about the dog's safety but I didn't know the dogs can recognize signs, signals and lights. I laughed all the way home. Lol
