No you didn't lose me to the barn yet. It is waaaaaaaaaay too nasty to brave going out there yet. I did take a quick trip out to the pens & back when my grand daughter called & said a piece of roof blew off one of the pens. The winds are terrible out there. My husband went out & moved my car out away from all the big trees. One is breaking. When it rains like this & then we get alot of hard wind the Almond farmers around here have alot of losses. Almonds are shallow rooted & the softened ground gives them up easily when the hard winds come. I feel bad for them.
I stopped to but biscuits & sausages in the oven for my husbands breakfast. He sleeps a little later than I do usually.
I will look & see what other pictures I have stored. I think all of the ones I actually have in my uploads are "My Guy" when I was trying to get him online for some critiques. I ended up emailing them to a couple of people off the forum that I had actual regular email addresses for.

These are the 2 girls I told you about, although it isn't a very good picture. I will see what I can do about more later today.

Well, all but one went into lockdown. I didn't candle, just visually inspected, and found the one to have some beginnings of leakage!

That one got removed and candled. Looks like it quit around day 10. The rest all looked good, so let's hope they are! C'mon blue chickies!!!

Can't wait Debbi!!!!!

OoooooOOOOOO Raven!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you candled yet? I set eggs too for the NYD hatch and am going to candle right now. Had a day of temp spikes when DH decided to keep the woodstove going full blast.....couldn't get the temps down no matter what I did. We are good temp wise as of now....or atleast until DH cranks up the woodstove again. He doesn't believe in a small fire just enough to take the chill off.

Okay....just candled and removed both of Charmins, they were clear (must find out what is up with Charmin) and removed all three Wellie eggs...all had development but must have quit around day 5. Can't see a blippin thing in the Olive Eggs but all have good air cells. The pullet eggs from the first GFF girl to lay are all moving right along as with Chloe's eggs (Blue Copper) and some Splash Copper eggs are doing great.

New Year's Day. The ones I had originally set for Christmas Day I let me neighbor take them, last I spoke with her they were all doing good.
LoL....I have another batch I am collecting right now to toss in.....

Okay my sweet husband went to the barn & got the camera & took pictures for me. I will try to post them. There were too many eggs to get them all so I grouped them up & had him take a couple of shots. I do alot of the hummingbird ones because so many people like those sweet little hummers. I am on the hunt for more chicken images. The one I tried to draw of My Guy leaves something to be desired.........LOL
