Awww ML we missed you! I know what you mean about the withdrawals. I get cranky if my internet starts giving me trouble.

I have 2 Serama pips now.

1 more to go.

Hope to have babies by morning.

My gimpy BLRW, will not even try to get up *sigh* I hate this!

Aw i am sorry you have one thats not doing well, I always worry about that when my girls start to sit. Hope it begins to get up soon. I have 2 broodies now, My little frizzle was actually sitting on nothing so I found an egg that wasn't too cold and put it under her, the crazy thing..

Hi "allabout" missed everyone so much but guess what I did get my small coop painted

wish I could help you out but I don't even know where Oakboro is

 

[BookWorm243]

Good evening everyone!!
ML - Welcome Back!!

You were missed!!
SCM - Congrats on the egg order...you know I'm just a stone's toss from you if you ever have MORE than you need...

I can't wait to see pictures of the incubator FILLED!!

I'm saying an extra prayer for seller #2 to get in touch with you!! Can't wait to see the coop fixed up, because it's already looking nice!!

Still Jealous!!

BHep - Congratulations on a "perfect" 100% hatch!! I am saying an extra prayer for your little BLRW (what is that by the way?) to get up and have a stronger will to survive. Maybe she just wants to cuddle!!

All - sorry, I live the furthest East of everyone that I've met so far!! So I wouldn't be much help

Coop Update: the DH is once again reworking plans...now he's thinking making it 11x11 - so basically as big as we can without having to have it permitted.

I wish he'd just make up his mind. I know he's just using this as an excuse to deal with some terrible news.

Some of you knew we were expecting, but sadly, the baby "disappeared"... Went for our first check up and he/she was no where to be found (we were only at week 8, so somehow that makes it easier on me - that or I am in denial...not sure yet).

I know this is his way of dealing with the disappointment/loss. Anyway, didn't mean to unload, sorry. I did have a question,

are windows facing North & South okay for our area? We plan on having hardware cloth screens on our doors that open East & West so it can be opened during the day in the summer, but the N & S would be for winter ventilation....does that sound ok? The roof is going to be a gable (?? think barn) with hardware cloth up in the "rafter" area. What is everyone's take on that?

Edited to post his photo (drawing)

Note: the run is not drawn as a finished/enclosed portion so you could see details. It will be a fully enclosed 200 sq ft run. Comments? Suggestions??
