Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[rebelINny]

Would some of these happen to be from eggs I sent?

I also meant to write that it gives me great hope for the ones on 4/7

great look a like choice

and what breed is that chick?

That is a Frizzle..and someone said that they thought that the first chick was prettier...I thought so too!
Oh, and I got the eggs from RedRoofHens..haven't seen her in a while, but see she's still on the internet selling.

I have BO because the hens are so sweet and the boys do get beat up by some of the other roosters so they have become segregated for their safety. SO pretty, that shining gold.

I love my buffs too, they aren't really anything I need to keep but they are just such awesome eye candy!

Swedish Flower Hens: Start 13: 1 egg cracked, 12 remaining
Cream Legbar: Start 4: 1 clear, 1 blood ring; 2 remaining
Blue Laced Red Wyandottes: Start 14: 1 blood ring, 1 quitter, 12 remaining
Silver Hamburgs: Start 3, remaining 3
Ameraucaunas: Start 12, 2 clear, 1 quitter, 9 remaining

That is going to be a beautiful flock!

I'm so excited. I get to meet Mary (NotAFarm) tomorrow. Why, you ask. Mary is kind enough to rehome 2 trios of her Icelandics to me. Thanks Mary.

Good for you! If you like the Iowa Blues, you'll love these!

That's right, Jim will be providing a new home to Mahonri's dream rooster, Dreki (and five others)! And, here is a picture of Dreki that I will be PMing to ChooksChick for the Flapper Contest which opens today.

That's awesome! I know you're sad to let him go but he'll have a great home!

Thank you! Whew, got the blood work back. His white blood cells are high, vet says because he's going potty lots, he probably has a bladder infection. So, on antibiotics for 10 days. He's actually eating a little bit! He's back to following me to which ever room I'm in, but not himself as of yet. The vet says give the meds a few days and hopefully he is back to his bouncing off the walls doggy that he is.

I am so glad to hear that your pup is better!

It is bad enough when tragedy hits the flock, but dogs, especially inside dogs, tend to own our hearts completely.

I was worried about you and the possibility of heartache.

I'm so happy that things are looking up!!!

You know it is not going to be a really good hatch when the boxes come in looking like this

I talked to USPS today. THere service could be quite a bit better . . . and I'll leave it at that for now, so I am on the look out for a regular supply of quality boxes and "major foam"--do you purchase or scavenge??

I use specially made foam from fowlrus- pm her and she'll send you some! It fits perfectly into the #4 shipping boxes you get free from the PO, which I then put into a #7 box with MORE cushioning around it. Anyone who got eggs from me have pics?

I need that recipe.. PLEASE

Simple: Tuna steak smeared with miso, baked. I like to leave the miso on for a couple of hours or so beforehand so the flavor really reaches in, and I love to serve it with fresh greens and lemon-almond basmati. MMMMmmmmmmm!

Ok, going to give this a shot..my look alike...don't care for gaga..but when I picked my chick out for the look alike, I thought for sure I would find a similar hair do from that particular person.

Perfect!! More folks!!!

im serious but dont know the price it might be wayyyy out there! 77535

I pm-ed you!

Perfect flapper!! Let's get the shots going, folks!

I don't have pics of when I opened the boxes but here is the small box (which was inside the larger box)

Here is the foam inside the box. The little inserts cusion the ends of the eggs.

And the results of such great packing

Happy last day of March.

I am trying to get some things in order for the hatch, before the work week starts up again.
Set up the brooder
Glue the black sheet back onto the ecoglow (Brinsea says super-glue will be fine)
Clean dusty feeder and waterer
Buy feed
Find an old branch to throw in the brooder, along with a dish of sand

Tonight, candle the eggs and throw out the duds.
Anything else I should be doing? (Besides laundry, etc.)

Oh, and change the calendar.
