Featherz--looks like squashed chick is a fiesty little thing! I am happy for you and the chick!
Sachasmom--You have a full plate but God never gives us more than we can handle. Bad Kitty cant help himself. He was hardwired to hunt. Besides, you know you would miss him. Sorry about your hen dying. I hope you finally got the coon that has been killing your cheeps. There is a good thread on here on how to help an eggbound hen. I had one and soaked her in warm water for a while and gently massaged her. The egg finally came out and she has had no problems since.
Cass--Heres hoping that things start looking up.
Off to albany today to pick up my youngest from the airport. She is coming home from college and we are excited to have her back. My oldest daughter is going with me while the other half stays home to go get lumber for the coop and to cook a fabulous welcome home dinner for our daughter. Number 2 daughter is in Oswego checking out that college as she wants to go there for zoology. Dont ask. Its been colder this week so the terrorists have been spending more time under the heat lamp. However, as soon as the prison gate on top is moved, at least two are up on the top walking around.
Candling tomorrow and hoping that the majority (if not all) the 14 silkie eggs in the bator are fertile and growing. I think the colder weather has snapped my wannnabe broody hen out of it. She doesnt puff up and bawk any more when I open the door on the coop and take her egg. I am hoping she will go broody later this spring and hatch out a few for me.
Have to mow the lawn today. My silkies are having a rough time getting through the long grass! lol If it gets any longer, I will have to put those long marker poles on them so I can keep track of where they are.
