LOL! I see how it goes. You all wait for me to come out of the closet first and then it's like heathens from a burning stump. Errr, is that ants?

You're a trend setter.

I was also raised Catholic but it just didn't stick. For a long time I knew only that religion wasn't important to me and as I got older and read more about philosophy, I moved toward agnosticism and finally realized I'm just a plain old atheist. My world view is one of secular humanism. With a goal of using reason to find ways of helping humanity reach it potential, I'm free to learn and adopt beliefs that make sense to me, wherever they are found.

Cadbury's first egg! 1.6 oz, a beautiful blue-green color, and right in the nestbox.

I love that chickie!

way to go Cadbury!!

My Chante Roo has been trying to mount the Chante hen lately, does mean mean he knows something I don't know? Can he tell she's laying or about to start or something?? Ive caught her once on a nest box, inspecting, but she didn't do anything. She is 34 weeks old.

I hope so for you. My silly rooster is enamored with my 2 lazy, good for nuthin', slacker BOs who are a whopping 37 weeks old. That's 10 weeks older than Cadbury for those keeping score. He struts, grumbles, dances, and just plain chases them around the entire yard. The best he's managed to do is grab their back feathers. He totally ignores my 2 laying girls. Good thing for him, he's pretty because I'm not sure he's got it in the brains department.

I don't know what was going on the other morning, I let them all out of the coop and when I finally got out, there was the 6 mo old JG Roo with hackles all flared out looking something nasty and he was toe to toe with the Chante hen. Had he too tried to court her and got scolded or something? Wow, what a display it was, and ME without camera at the moment.
He IS crowing now, by the way. Never heard a peep out of him before last week. I have no ladies of his breed for him.

I do the dry incubation, meaning NO water at all in the first 18 days, then I boost the humidity to mid-70s to 80s. It has works well for me.
Go chickies Go!!

Congrats sj3364!

I got a lot of things done today on my coop. I got the door done to the calve's pen, now it will be so much easier to bottle feed the calves. lol Also made a feed trough for them too.

I think that the roof support is 100 percent done, but my dad will have to check to see if it is good enough to withstand the snowload.

I stopped at the shelter today and looked at the dogs, to get one for my husband to ease the pain in his heart from losing Billie. There are so many nice ones!! I couldn't pick, so came home and told him to go get one, I know it's the only things that will really make him HAPPY.
