Feel better Vicki. Yues, I'd say baby trumps stomach upset

Try drinking some lemon juice in some warm water. I know it sounds like it may be harsh, but when I have an upset gut, it's usually due to lack of acid, and the lemon juice stops it dead. Now if you have an ulcer, I don't advise that one! Get better.

Hope you feel better Vicki, upset tummies are not fun. Trust me I have years of experience in this field. Try the lemon like Debbi said....I use peppermint too and mint is FABULOUS for upset tummies.

Well those are some diehard hornets! A few were left that I could see, so sprayed the wellhouse again, wait some more. Weather man just said we are going to get our first killing frost in the next few nights, so that should take care of a lot of bugs, and maybe my snakes. Wonder if there is any way the wellman could put a sucker pump on my well line? That would be great when the power goes out. The water level never seems to drop completely, unless the power is out for more than a few days. Losing water is much worse than losing electricity, that I can live without just fine. But as for now, when I lose power, that includes the water. Luckily, I had some bottled water from the last outage saved, time to get some more in I guess...

This bird is a Birchen split for gold/silver that is what creates the lemon coloring you describe.

After another look at the comb..it also looks like maybe he has a sprig near the blade or possibly it is a carnation comb.

Hi!

They should be pretty darn easy to tell at this age...sounds to me like you have 4 boys and a girl but photos would be great if you have any.

Vicki~

You asked if I am still single test mating and the answer is yes.....but I don't feel like it is going to do anything to help the situation.

Just popped these in the 'bator this morning.

The first of the Blue Laced Wy's crossed with the Barnie are in here and a few Wellie eggs too that I was saving for someone, but the girls didn't give enough to ship them out. Also a few pure Barnies in there.

My broody is due to have chicks today. I wonder if I will see any pips when I get home. Didn't see anything yesterday.



How is everyone that is hatching doing? We need chickie photos!!!!!!!
