hi Max...it's Auntie Melanie!

I moved my chicks all outside to the outside brooder coop since its starting to turn cool I want them to have a chance to acclimate more easily. One end of the coop is nice and hot and the other isn't so they can go back and forth without shocking their system so much. I have some odler chicks that have been out for a while and are used to getting put up in there at night. Well they were mad and wanting out so I decided to leave the little door open for a while. I think one of our roos went in and killed a chick

One of my only 3 Apenzeller Spitzhauben (cute little splash mohawk chicken) that I hatched myself. I could kick myself. It was such a bad day otherwise I wasn't thinking straight. The 2 year old woke up at 1:45am - 15 minutes before I was due to go to bed and then stayed up till 4:30am - one hour before we had to get up and get his brother ready and to school. So I got 1 hour sleep and then had a very cranky, screaming, half naked two year old I had to drag to the car and wrestle into a car seat. I so wasn't thinking "one of the roos will kill my chick while I am gone". *sigh* Then we came home and I had to carry my shoeless 2 year old (he's nearly 40 lbs and I am disabled with back, hip, leg and foot problems from 9 years in the army so that alone HURTS) and then I fell up the porch stairs carrying him. I managed to NOT drop him but ripped up my entire body pretty good. And then I found my dead chickie

and have also concluded my ENTIRE flock of over 100 rare/endangered birds - most of which are between a week and 2 months old - are passing around the fowl pox virus thanks to the recent rain and bloom of mosquitoes after our record breaking dry spell. I.CAN'T.WIN.... UGH!

And 2 days ago my dogs ate another chicken - a golden laced wyandotte roo. Luckily I hated that roo and he bit me every opportunity he got. But that makes 20 chickens they have killed since April. They went under the crawl space under our house and out the other side through a wall to get to them. So - more fencing in my future with my messed up body - fun....

today has got to be better

hi Max...it's Auntie Melanie!

Max is sleeping. I can finish. Shhhh, don't wake Max.

Everyone should have a turkey but you'll need to have a carpet cleaner too. Max loves to run around and play. Right now she is learning to fly. I have a large plactic bag full of yarn in the corner of the room. Max runs to the top, I think she likes the crinkle noise too, and flys down. Last night she did it over and over again. She also likes to find the highest point when she's looking for me. Sometimes the highest point is my dog. I hear Max calling me and wallk around the corner to see Max standing on my sleeping dog's butt.

Hi...my broody girl is sitting on her second clutch. She is an Australorp the eggs are mostly shipped Silver Penciled Wyandotte but I have a couple of Delaware eggs in there and two that will be dual purpose sex links. Hatch date the 24thish of October I will candle this weekend

Good Luck to everyone. This broody girl did a great job with the 4 EE eggs I gave her the first go around and so I am hoping for some success. I did HORRIBLY when I hatched with a bator so this is my new preferred method.

Last one just made it out! One loss so I have 9/10. 90% not too bad.
Still upset over the one. I missed helping it out By maybe 20 minutes.
Grrrr

I saw spiderwebs of life when I peeked inside today but, I also found a whole bunch of detached air cells

I get to candle all my shipped eggs today.
Hoping for spiders too.....
