Wish me luck! I have a camp trailer near emerald isle which I am in right now. Bad storms a coming along witht he possibility of tornados. We are prepping buy putting the car near the door and getting the bird kennels ready to shoot up to the bathhouse so we all will be safe. Lets see....4 dogs, one parrot and one Wilma chicken and two adults in a bath house. Don't know if any other campers would want to join us

they would be welcome. Wilma has been a hit. Its like having a puppy she just stays right by my feet. Next Thursday I think she will be big enough to join her flock mates. I am going to bed her down Thursday night because I will be home the rest of the weekend to make sure she does okay and doesn't get picked on too much. Well all be safe I know the storms are coming from that directions. Keep all human and animal babies safe.

CONGRATS

on your 1st chickens...... OOOOO you are in so much trouble now !

P.S. The coop looks great !


Well lots of wind, no rain yet. Just a few sprinkles

OOo and remember I was so excited for my 1st Polish egg....... DD found a secret stash of 12 Polish eggs.

So since they can't be eaten..... they get to go in the incubator tonight.

can't be wasting a perfectly good egg.

Hope all is well BC. I laughed when reading your post, sounds like me when I travel, it is easier to bring evertone then try to find someone to watch them.

AND..... I today I picked up 4 White Crested Polish, 4 Silver Laced Polish and 2 Molted D'Uccles this am. 1 week olds.

We're hanging out getting ready. Columbus County is experiencing high winds. The clouds are getting darker and coming this way FAST! The place where we'll go if worse comes to worse is ready. I just hope we don't have to use it. A few years ago some people were killed by a tornado about 6 miles from us. Storms like this make me nervous and excited. I LOVE severe weather.

We live about 20 minutes south of Carrboro, what kind of chickens do you have on your farm. WE are raising Dominiques.
