I just had my white Sussex and black maran hatch 1 1/2 eggs. I say half BC she squashed the one after it pipped externally and is really due tomorrow. I had to salve it to stop bleeding and such but its still breathing and chirping and the first one is under the light recooping. The first 1/2 white Sussex and bm.

Two of my mixed-breed babies. Both are half speckled sussex. The roo is half French black copper marans, and the hen is from one of the white layers that live with TD. I'm hoping she lays well, like her mama.

I did a count of birds with hackle or saddle feathers last night and came up with 8 of 22. Way better than when I was going by combs and had 15 of 22 looking like roos.
 
Our garden is finally starting to put out it's produce :D Right now we are bringing in a few green beans and cucumbers. And plenty of hot peppers. They are loving this weather. So I've made some pickles etc.

But here is the big one for me. Our friends fig tree did good this year and he brings most of them to us. His wife won't touch them and he can only eat so many. We make jams and things and give him some of that and I usually give him some of the others I make so he has a variety. We also have him some plants and cuttings he wanted. It's nice to have garden friends!!! Anyway he brought us 5 of these bins and I think that the tree is done. They are really tasty figs!!! I processed some already and had to freeze some because there is so much. Already 30 cups chopped figs :clap from the first 3 bins and then he brought us those last 2. Made 2 different things with them today, plus made candied ginger so I could make Peach and ginger Jam. I'm going to have to ban my kids from the kitchen!! I asked my youngest if she wanted to taste the Apple Kissed Fig Jam. Next time I turned around she had finished it!!!! Only half a small jar (1/2 cup) that I didn't can, but still!!! Haha! She said, "Well, it's good!" :lau
