North Idaho / Eastern Washington

things are going well around here. Mark is painting our Hay shed and then my duck house. one of my drakes was hanging on the fence a few days ago, he is better, but still limping... he is just like a man, he wont stay down & rest in his pen area, he wants out w/t ducks & he keeps getting out.
im getting 1 more SGD tomorrow morning, i have a cockrel. Mark is making more chicken coop pens for me, since i have so many that need to be seperated. i can hardly wait til it is done....
where did you go camping? we could all go camping in our back 40 acres and feel like we are camping, if you know what i mean? How is Mason? cute as ever!! give him a hug from me.
yay for new coops. I can't wait till we are on our property and I can set up breeding coops. The last place we went camping was at hayburn state park. Just out of Plummer. r are all about finding free places to camp but I made my husband get us a little motor home so it makes it more enjoyable for me.
 
Hubby wanted to go away for the 4th, but my son from out of town wants to come home for the 4th, (which is good, I have eggs hatching the 5th) yeah, I am home!

Yes my life revolves around hatching!

Yes, campers or truck bed campers are nice, that is what we have. it is hard for me to make the bed, but other than that, we love our camper & camping. we havnt gone for over a yr; i have too many animals to go anywhere now. i would have to hire someone to feed, water and take care of them. My sister just told me she is getting married April 2017, so i will have to plan for at least 1 week of being away. i have time to find someone.

At the risk of sounding totally stupid, you use abbreviations for your chicken breeds. that I do not always know what they stand for. Could you please spell them out? Are these bantam breeds or large fowl?

I have hatched some Tolbunt Polish recently that are the cutest things! Also my Gold Brabanters are getting so big. I will try to get out and take pics soon. I seem to be drawn to crested breeds right now and ones with puffy cheeks and beards.. LOL

I just hope that what ever is going around here killing my birds doesn't get these babies. I have a couple of new medicines that came in from Amazon that I am hoping does the trick. I am waiting for the Oxine to get here and will clean the coops from top to bottom.

I have two hatches in the incubator and I've got two more going in tomorrow. The husband keeps looking at it suspiciously and asking, "Are there more in there?"
