Just after I put the one chick in the brooder, I went back to make sure I got the bator lid on tight. Cheep, cheep, cheep!!

One more has started to pip, so by morning, the little chipmunk may have a friend!

Congrats on the eggie Vicki!! You know we need pics of that once the batteries charge!

Gotta get those pictures loaded up ASAP. BYC is doing the big change up starting tonight and will likely be down ALL day tomorrow. I may have to get a phone number so I can keep track of your Silkies, Debbi!!!!

REALLY glad to hear about the second cheeper!!!

 

[Debbi]

Me too! The little one in the brooder looks so small and lonely! BYC will be down ALL DAY tomorrow????

What will we do????

Yay! My camera battery is all charged up again!

I'm not sure exactly....I would say its either one of my splash copper girls or a BCM...they are the darkest layers I have here in that pen. I will say tho...whoever it came from is in with Gigantor and Big Boy!

Guess what else I found today?! I was looking for my blue copper girl (you've seen the pic of a couple of times on here)to shut her up for the night and I finally found her behind the barn! Guess what she was doing? She is hoarding eggies! I know for sure its her laying the dark egg in the pen she is in! YES! I'm gonna set the eggs just for kicks, but its possible if the eggs hatch that they might have a few different fathers...we'll see...they might have to go find new homes as mixed breeds, but we'll see....there were 4 lovely Marans boys in there as of a couple of weeks ago...so its still possible to get some goodies...perhaps.

crap!!! And tomorrow is a day I'll actually be around most of the day....grrrr.... I'm thinkin maybe this will mean that I'll get a lot more done outside then haha

I've got to get a color chart! They should've been sent with the club dues, but no. I had two girls squabbling over the mail box on the porch today!

Found one big egg in there, nice ruby color, say 5+, and then I forgot to look again later. Bet there is another egg in there. Now, let's just hope the cat isn't sitting on it!

Supposed to rain here tomorrow. Oh well, I usually stay off the puter here when it rains. If there is ever only ONE lightening strike, it usually hits right here! That's how I lost my last puter!!
