My Hovabator has shipped today! Woohoo!

And...I burned out my mixer today.

Now I have to get a new one. I hate researching appliances. I also hate not having a mixer! ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!

My friend came to pick up her flock of Lady Gouldian finches I've been babysitting, and went out to look at chickens first. She'd never see the bantams. I had to drag her away from the lemon-blue OEGs. She was in love. And the newly hatched bantam chicks just enthralled her. Her hubby is not a chicken fan (allergic to eggs, and can't even stand the smell of them, poor guy), so she doesn't get to have chickens, but she adores birds of all kinds. A close-up photo of the feathers on my lone Speckled Sussex is her screen saver picture. She's an artist, and some of her art featuring some of my birds has hung around the world. It was so much fun to watch her just standing in front of those lemon-blues, staring, with her mouth hanging open. She thought the creles were pretty, and the BBRs, but the lemon-blues stole her attention for good. She'll be back with her cameras!
 
Thank you for you support. Not exactly sure what got them

they were picked clean, only things left uneaten were the neck & head and the wings & feet. The cage was 4x6 with 1” hardware wire all the way around and wood slats, but its crushed, wood slats ripped away and wire pulled away from the frame. Any ideas on predator?
You didn't happen to take pictures of the damage to the coop and pen, did you?
 
I was going to take the rest of the eggs from our broody since no more have hatched and DH said we should give them till Thursday. DH is also planning to let Hazel back out with the flock Saturday. Is this a bad idea? The chick would be a week old then. How young can the chick be before joining the flock with mom? I shook one of the eggs and it sounded like something heavy was in it. I am betting it is a dead chick that quit developing or something like that. Guess we will see Friday when we take the eggs away and leave the brooder box open so Hazel can leave if she wants to with the chick.

On the way home came across an adorable lop eared bunny on the side of the Hwy.... Pulled over, DD picked her up and she is dirty, skin & bone, she is happily eating and drinking . So I guess we have a new rabbit.
