Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day! I'm back from my visit in Virginia, and before Memorial Day is over wanted to thank my own husband for over thirty years of service in the Army Special Forces, wearing that Green Beret. Kudos for my man!

tell him thanks

Hello everyone. Haven't been on in a couple days, had a busy weekend, with friends and family. The weekend was great, until today, I lost 10 chicks in less than 2 Hours, I believe it was because their food, which is in 3 pound jar, got wet and then molded a little, and I believe these ten ate the molded food. I scrubbed the cage, food and water jars, and everyone seems okay now .
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend.
On a happy/annoying chicken note, can someone please come help me treat my birds for the broody bug I'm officially dealing with my 15the broody of the year. Also I have found myself with a pet hen. My gold lace polish Fraggle, has developed the very annoying and cute trait of following me everywhere. She flies out of her pen, to follow me, flies up onto my back or shoulder when she gets the chance, and is always under foot. She will sit in my lap and allow me to pet her, and love on her. And today, while we were cooking out, the front and porch doors were open, I was in the kitchen, getting burgers made, when I turned around, she had waddled in and was roosting on a kitchen chair just watching me silly girl

Good morning folks

it's funny how we can't wait for the weekend so
we can relax and rest some from the work of
the week and yet by Monday morning we find
ourselves in need of some rest to get over all we
had crammed into the weekend

hope everyone had a wonderful weekend

hope your day is a good one

Thank him for his service and thank you for standing by him.

On a side note, did he like your patio?

I still was wondering when/ if I should separate my broody hen or leave her in the nesting box?

Good morning, Happy Chicken People!

Moores6, if you move her, move her at night. Have everything already setup so all you have to do is move the eggs and her. Moving them in the dark helps so they don't come off the nest. Make sure you check on her the next morning, as with the daylight she might try to go back to the old nest (leaving the eggs). If this happens put her and eggs back in old nest and try again in a few nights. Good luck

Good Morning Everyone!
My DH LOST the hubby of the day award yesterday. He did cook/take care of the kiddos so I could get a nap in (YAY) because we have a little one who REFUSES to go potty at night in the bathroom and will instead hold it and scream for mommy...several times a night. <sigh> Anyway, so he comes back inside from doing evening chores (another reason he got the hubby of the day award...before it was ripped from his hands) and tells me this:
"We may have a dead duck tomorrow"
"WHAT? WHY?" -Me as I start racing around to get my barn shoes on and grab what few medicines I have for chickens, silently praying they work on ducks too...because these are my babies.
"Well, when I took the compost out to dump it into the pile, Cadbury decided he wanted the pineapple core, and ate the whole thing"
"What do you mean he ate the pineapple core?"
"He just ran up to it, grabbed it and then was furiously working at getting it down. He ate it all though"

"And you LET HIM?"
"Yes, well he seemed to be enjoying himself and he was awful cute."
"If we have a dead duck, I am NOT talking to you for a very VERY long time! AND you are on poopy diaper duty for the rest of our diapering escapades!!" <sigh> it was the best threat I could come up with on such short notice and after suffering such shock. LOL
I am HAPPY to report that Cadbury was fine and well this morning, but I am still NOT happy with the hubby for his neglect...I think as punishment...he should STILL be on diaper duty!! LOL

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!
