Hi Everyone!!!
We didn't get much sleep all night. We have an incubator in our bedroom with silkie eggs in it and all night I was helping little babies! We have 6 little silkies Vicki that silkie we got from you is now the proud papa of 3 little ones that look just like him. 3 other ones are black!

In the incubator our son has we have 7 other eggs pipping!!! My hubby says I get so goofey about plain ole chickens.

I told him they were not plain, they were babies and mine!!!

MJ, I will look forward to seeing you some day. I will bug my fella till he takes me just to get me to shut up.
Sorry about the pup getting the chickens. When stray dogs got ours, they hid for 2 days before they came back.
Checked on the eggs today and the two hens that are setting. We have a bantum and an austrolorp. It was so funny. The bantum was on the big eggs trying to cover them all and the other was on hers. So I had to switch them around.

The frogs are singing in the pond!!!

Have a great day all!!

Rachel found Splash!!!! She was under the front porch, I had looked but she must of been tucked under the steps.

Rachel and I just candled the eggs, day 10. 4 of 5 cross colored Ameraucana bantam eggs have babies growing, real easy to see through the cream colored egg. The lavender ameraucana eggs were hard to tell. The shells are so thick the light doesn't go through them. So we are leaving all the eggs and waiting to see what happens. 11 more days and counting!!!

Myrna- sorry you didn't get much sleep with babies hatching! Our incubator is in our garage/rec room. So it shouldn't bother us, just the dog in his kennel and the cats, when our eggs hatch.

The problem with the dog yesterday was my husband just let him out by himself. Our #1 rule is if the chickens are out, dog must be with someone or on the rope.

Off to get some work done. Have a great evening everyone!

I do believe it was... a tiny little thing... red and white with huge floppy ears! The cutest one in the bunch!

Do post pics of your Nubian!

I just adore goats ....... wish I could get DH on the band wagon

That Silkie chick is ADORABLE!!!!!

I wish everyone happy hatching! My DS... and D does not stand for dear this time... shut off the power strip more than once (I've been recently informed by my Stepdad) and only a few eggs are till alive

I don't know if they will hatch... but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I think though that he killed off my Orps I had in the bator

But I still can't wait to see everyone elses fuzzy butts!

So sorry about the bator problem at your house guitarist!

The incubator was high last night when we got home, so I hope it wasn't like it too long. Hubby said he couldn't read the thermoter without his glasses, which are in his shop.

The kids are out building their Awana Grand PRix cars. The race is on Wednesday. Nothing like waiting til the last minute

Funny Miss Jayne on the dry ice! Probably be easier to just make your own And cheaper LOL

Happy to hear of Splash's return and of the peeps that are popping out of their shells.

I, too, want the recipe for the manicotti. Well, that a big lie. I actually just want to get on c2much's friend list so she will make me some.................
But, instead I will just settle on the recipe. Hmmmmm.....I do live close enough to MJ to deliver one, but I so, so love Italian food.

Is the name of the recipes Grizzly Adams Manicotti?

And I was feeling cool because I just started to cook with venison this year. We had venison tacos for dinner and will be having venison stew tomorrow.
