Moved my ~week olds out to the coop a few days ago with a heating pad for warmth.

Kinda of miss seeing them but then sure don't miss cleanings brooder, the dust and the stink.






Before white towel an straw

My chicks arrived at 7 am this morning! Ordered 40, and got 47, to be shared with a friend. I've got bantam EE's, Belgian d'Uccle millies, standard sized white Chanties, three black Jersey Giants, and wheaton Marans.

All doing well so far, and who knows what the extras are. Mary

Nothing quite like the call of "Loose Horse" to bounce you outta bed in a hurry.  Grumble grumble!!    

That old broodmare is too old to be acting that silly.  

Hate those 4 am calls - Nothing wakes you up faster.

I submit that the worst -- fastest wake up call is a cat going "yak-yak-yak" on the pillow next to your head.

It wasn't 4 am, but it was about 90 minutes earlier than I had thought about getting up. Oh well, got the girls out and about early. Don't think that's going to happen tomorrow.

Yeah, that or a dog doing that.


Grrrrrr.... started snowing like crazy coming home tonight here, big fluffy and sticky stuff. sticking to about everything.out there. had to take my pen fence down because the snow was making it sag and it would rip up the vinyl up.

Huh-uh, been there too - the thought of several thousand pound beasts and an unsuspecting driver gives the horse thing a whole 'nother dimension.

Got about 5 to 6 inches here. had to shovel out to the coop, and then a little path for the girls. salted the path with mealworms just to get them out.
