Morning all. Sad news this morning. We lost one of our wellie pullets over the weekend.

We were at our cabin in Tawas for the weekend and when we came home we found we were one hen short. Have the 6 comets, 5 wellie hens and 3 wellie roosters left. I guess that make the wellie eggs in the bator right now all that much more important.

I got talked into taking a white call duck name Buddy, so she is buddies with him for now. I guess I will be looking for a female call come nest spring.

Anyway, did you say you have campbell eggs for hatching?

Well the sneek the turkeys in a night started very well. Everyone was calm and or asleep. Turkeys went right on the roost and stayed all night. At least they were still there this morning. I went in and opened the chicken door at 6am. Some decided to keep sleeping half went outside along with my big turkey hen. MJ you are right all the chickens looked at the poults like I never noticed you before and went on their way. Well when the hen came back in she noticed them and knew they were not supposed to be in the coop. She poofed up, hissed, made some other weird noises and went for them feet first. Almost got one down. No pecking or chasing she just wanted them gone or dead. So now they are back into the big brooder and will stay there till I get ahold of the processer to see when everyone can go in. The roosters are getting way to rowdy now too. Taking feather out of some of my pullets. 14 weeks is long enough. I do like the crowing. Big guy gets to stay.

yikes. hissing is not good. sassy. sassy, sassy, sassy! want me to send Little Daddy over for a chat?

i just had an awesome visit with two really nice BYC members! i will save it as a secret until they reveal it! they are kind of 'lurkers' and didn't know about the Michigan thread.

Whack the ground up a little bit for the chickies! They LOOOOOVE having the dirt turned so they have better access to all the wormies! We've been known to almost chop a few heads off, by accident, because they get way to excited and don't want to wait.
