Hello Miss Lydia.

The hen is doing very well, she stopped sneezing only few days after I started the antibiotic, and she has never lost her appetite during the "sick" time, so I still question if it wasn't just allergies.
The little chicks are growing very fast and they are a very happy family. The broody hen is an excellent mother perhaps a little bit to zealously. She is still very skinny, because she gives all the food that goes in her mouth to the chicks. I tried to give her some of her favorite snacks hoping she will be tempted to eat, but she always gives it right back to the chicks. So I just let her be and do her thing.

to macadam...I'm all the way over in Johnston County!!

Bhep - AWWWWWWWW...that's all I can say. SO cute!!

Can't wait to see more!!

SCM -

I am so sorry they were duds. I know you were hoping for cochins too!!

to the seller...I hope it rains duck poop on them (

I'm laughing at a mental picture of that!!)

I'm hoping the rest develop and hatch for you!! A special

for the little man!! My DD seems to be fine today!!

She did get to see a doggie & a bunch of chickens which she wasn't really interested in...until the Roo started "talking" to "her" and then she was HOOKED!!

Em- So...how LONG does it take to hatch Emu's anyway? Seems like we've been waiting for...FOREVER!!

I don't mind the wait...it's a good chance to learn patience!!

Coop Update:

Windows are picked up and we can measure and frame them tomorrow IF

IF the weather starts to cooperate!! I love that there's rain (watering my veggies, refilling our well, etc...) but seriously...I WANT my barn coop to be finished already!!

Hmm...and I was just talking about those patience I still don't have....hmmm.

A special

THANK YOU to the BYC'er who sold us the windows!!

You know who you are...after all, I talked your ear off today!!

LOL

Now thats not fair Em, I want the fawn colored one too and she can't give one without the other

arianna so glad to hear your hen is okay and that the little family is doing well also, I have chicks due on the 4th, I am so excited.. went and built a little ramp going into the brooder my frizzle is in and put a piece of a board across the front so she can get out but chicks can't till they are all hatched, don't want to take a chance on one of the other chickens getting a hold of one..

those are some cuties Beth, loved the way that little duck is looking at the camera.. Are they your calls or are you hatching calls? can't keep up with you..

 

[Miss Lydia]
