My Avatar is Fred my Silver Ameraucana. He takes wonderful care of my girls. So far he fought a hawk and the neighbors cat! The lady next to him is my favorite hen, Bri. She and her sister lays the biggest bluest eggs of all my hens! They even come to my door, and call for me to bring out treats. They have me trained well.

Beautiful chickens!

HH- yeah, that's what I was hoping for too. They had some EE on Friday when I was there but I wanted to wait the outcome of my hatch before I picked one up. By the time I got there Monday morning they were all gone
So sorry about your hen. Down to 3 eggs? What kind of bator are you using?

I have a Genesis 1588, but, I only set 10 eggs to begin with this time.

My heart does some weird jumping around now and then that scares me, and I can feel it in my throat. Lots of times, I can hear it in my ears. Drives me insane. Doctor said my heart rate is too high, gave me pills for it. I havent started taking them yet- because something that slows down my heart scares me. I am waiting until I am fully recovered from surgery, then I will take them> I just need to know if some symptom I am feeling is from the pill or from something else. Doctor thinks I am crazy.


Whenever you get a chance for measurements/ price no rush, Chickenstock is not until June

Mom 2, take care of yourself!
I forgot to get the measurements again when I went out this morning. So I just went back out to get them. They are only a rough estimate as the nella brooder we made was from a crate my son brought home from work. I don't have a definate price yet because DH said it depends on the price of the materials, but he is guessing aprox 50 dollars.

I just replaced the fuel pump in my Taurus, the filler neck to the tank had broken and let crap into it and tore everything apart. How does having less that 50% gas in the tank screw it up? (I'm an engineer, Jim, not a mechanic!)

31 cents isn't enough incentive for me to risk another fuel pump. I try not to let the tank hit below 50% anymore. Times gas prices are up I have a 5 gallon container to tide me over.

Sunny and 49 here, and really windy, I don't remember high winds being in the forecast! Makes it feel so much nastier!

Um, could you have meant $4.15? That's what it is in my part of the northern LP, I can't imagine it's a buck cheaper up there?

Good morning Michigan, sunny and cold this morning, looks like it will be a beautiful day.
Gas is $3.15 here

And now for my highlight of the day! My order from Meyer Hatchery arrived today. I got 14 Golden Buffs (SR) they sent 15, and 11 Blue Andalusian (SR). They seemed in fairly good shape for a 2.5 day/2 night trip. A bunch were piled in the corner of the box and they seem to still be piling up under the light bulb though there is an over head heat source to the right side of the brooder (not in photos.) Got them all to drink and a couple started eating and a couple more started drinking like there was no tomorrow. I can't remember which color is male and female in the Golden Buffs (aka golden comets, red sex-links), anyone know off hand? I'm about to run back to the garage and check on things and research takes time. Also, I didn't think Blue Andalusians were sex linked, but I got 8 black striped chicks and 3 pale yellow with a hint of gray. Anyone know about them? See you later. Got to go chick watch now.

In the Golden Buffs, the yellow ones are males, the red ones are females. And in the Andulusions, which I have, there is no sex links in them. The Andulusions come in different colors, there are black, blue, and splash. In the next to the last picture I see one, that is drinking, looks like it is going to be blue, and I see a couple of splashes in there also. The three pale yellow with a hint of blue will be splash.

Anybody want a baby bunny? Found a den in the potato bed while I was turning it for planting today.

Managed to spear three of the four kits with the pitchfork, but the fourth is alive and I may be a hard donkey in general but killing babies whose eyes aren't even open is not something I relish and DH is worthless, he has a fit and has to leave the room when I put chicks down. LOL!
