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

[Razadia]

I turn 23 next year. Does that count?

When it gets cold I feel a LOT older. I can see it now.... I'll be 50 and unable to move my fingers.

thanks Viejo Loco close but, no cigar. I'll be 65 in July.

Ooops I goofed, Viejo Loco you WIN YOU ARE OLDER THAN ME- three cheers for you. I don't read well due to my cataracts and my math stinks (chicken or otherwise). I pass the torch to you.

i'm like 20 something pages behind. anyone want to give me the rundown? sooo...my rooster that we were going to eat but I couldn't because he is the sweetest thing ever, died. I think from wounds he received from an attack over 3 weeks ago. I'm pretty upset. I'd rather us eat him then him die a cruel wasteful death.

But on another note, put an ad out for some of the chicks I hatched....wow. everyone in the world is wanting to buy chicks. Too bad I only hatched 17 out of the 100+ I incubated. I'm kinda upset because I messaged the seller of the quail eggs. I told her I incubated them in 3 different incubators with eggs from all over and had eggs hatch from everyone except hers. None of hers even developed. She asked what I expected her to do. I told her that I am not allowed to expect anything but hope that she would kindly make a suggestion. I know its risky to hatch shipped eggs...but to have 0 of 30+ eggs even develop with that many incubators and that many eggs is ridiculous. Whatever...I don't need quail anyway. I'm in love with my singleton serama. And frankly so is DH. He wants more! holy cow..didn't think i'd hear the day that he wanted more chickens.

And...after my roo died, Butters my hen called and called for him and seemed pretty upset. Then suddenly, she's obsessed with my husband. Follows him, coos at him...WATCHED HIM FROM THE WINDOW! What the heck? I didn't know chickens did this. And he claims he hates them...well you better believe that butters gets more scraps then my dog, and suddenly my chicken scratch is disappearing at an alarming rate. I see him outside smoking and talking to the chickens. I have infected my husband with chicken love.

 

[Papa Brooder]

Can't believe that this weekend they'll be 2 weeks old! I have a white Icelandic that is already eyeing the top of the brooder looking for a way to escape!... and they've already got wings!

yeah i just went out to the brooder to find two chicks roosting on top of the watering system about 2 feet up. Glad I put the top on last week or I may have had some chicks swimming in the bucket!

This is the sweetest thing I have red all day!

Once my DH started throwing scratch . . . I stopped. My husband is infected ,too.

I bought direct TV here at my farm & since I've got chickens I never go inside. I'm always outside watching my chickens. Their little butts are to much its definitely a bad addiction. I now have three giant chicken coops, 3 quail pens, & 5 gardens I think I'm gonna disconnect the TV. LOL

I've got to ask: What is the temperature of "cold" in Montgomery?
