O.O

Carl gave me the shingles... ROOFING! Not the other.

The only story I have for today to add to the "kids are awesome" is how my son insisted there were bear tracks all over his room this evening.

Awww

BTW groping chickens is not creepy.
And stop peeking in my windows.

Thanks Raz
I shall try to refrain...

I have a hen that is broody right now and a couple of days ago I took her away from her eggs to eat and drink for a couple minutes (I do this twice a day) and I accidentally forgot to put her back on her eggs (oops) so she was off them for about 36 hours. I put her back on them and today I candled the eggs and they were all definitely moving around. I always hear that the eggs can not live this long without heat so why are these still alive? The eggs were on their 12th day of incubation.


This is my single runner duckling. It is imprinted on me and is being very obnoxious right now and trying to eat the computer.

& Welcome to the new members!

Just read [skimmed] almost 200 posts on here since my last visit sometime yesterday morning.

Yesterday I saw a bald eage fly over our field. This evening we had a owl flying around.

I have a broody that will soon have chicks hatched. Monday I think. She went broody the same time as your hen Opa.
I also have a BR and a Delaware that broody is the "in thing" as of today.

We are celebrating Mom's day tomorrow. Makes it easier for my oldest son since he is married.

I hope all you mom's have a Happy Mother's Day!
Opa, please give Granny an extra hug for me since I cannot give one to my mom.

Keep the pics coming everyone!

I had a duck named Pesto... He lived up to his name and became a very big pest to my dog Gunny... Pesto would goose.. or rather duck my dogs butt... One day my dog bit Pestos beak and put holes in it. I felt so bad for the little stinker. He healed up pretty fast and I sent him to live with a very wealthy man that has a whole yard and pond full of ducks! Pesto jumped right into the water and never looked back... This guy had some pretty girl duckies for Pesto too!

I would love to get ducks again one day... after Gunny has lived out his days though.


How is Waffles the teen mom doing? Is she getting more pearl in on her?

The coffee finished brewing a few minutes ago. The cups are in the cupboard just to the right of the pot, hazelnut & Italian creamers next to it, and donuts are on the opposite counter. So help yourself and we'll sit here a wait for the sunrise together. The older I get the more I appreciate their beauty and significance.

Tomorrow is a pretty special day. I am fortunate that I can still tell my mother how much I appreciate her bringing me into this world. I know that this Mothers day is going to be a very special day for my first ex wife. Jobs, military service, school, and of course the distance that all entails has only allowed my sons to be together 5 or 6 times in the last 20 years. Since David has gone to southern Missouri to help his brothers they will all three be together tomorrow and I'm sure they will all go do something with her. In fact I think I will give her a call later today to wish her a happy Mothers day and thank her for such wonderful sons.

Everyone is talking about this blukote...
What are some other good Chicken Emergency Kit items?

Salt, pepper, paprika, oil, and a deep cast iron skillet.

The sunrises, or the donuts?

Well, I just woke up awhile ago to the inevitable - poison ivy. x_x Argh. Now, of course, I can't get back to sleep, even though I've only had a few hours. I just Technued up, though, and I am going to try anyway. Good morning.

The donuts of course. I can get light by just flipping a switch.

Good morning Michigan, cloudy and cool here but supposed to get warm and sunny later.

Woke to 3 silkies (white, black and buff) and 2 b/b/s Orp chicks in the incubator, with a few more pips - yay!
