Supposed to be Marans event there...

8 chicks transferred into the brooder (2 BCMs, 1 Cuckoo Marans, 3 Black Ameraucanas, 1 Blue Ameraucana, and a white Silkie). Couldn't see one in that crowded incubator!!! Another Cuckoo and a BCM have pipped .... hopefully, didn't shrink anybody making the transfer.

First BCM with our hatching buddy

And the ever so black skinned white Silkie arriving .... (furriest little legs I've EVER seen!!!) And this kid is running the show in the brooder so far!

so exciting! I can't wait to see what all you end up...hopefully you get at least a couple more cuckoos and bcms!

Aww! Love the bator supervisor there!

Watch for the other chicks to start picking on the lone Silkie. At least it doesn't have a vaulted skull, so that will help it some. Did you only get one Silkie egg?

Good Morning, Folks!

Possibly up to 3" of rain this week!

The drought is over!

Good morning Mel!

Mornin Everyone! Can't wait til work is over for the day. I think perhaps I might be doing 'spring' cleaning a few months earlier...but I'm on a roll, so I wanna keep the momentum going! Once this is done, then its time to play on projects I've been having to put on the backburner!
