Had no pips before I left for work. Hopefully I didn't kill all of them. I was stupid and confused the set date with the eggs I have to Pearl so I didn't adjust the humidity on the right days.

For those of you who have had Berkshire View Farms process for you, is it easy to find?
I'm dropping off some roosters tomorrow morning and I'm trying to decide if I should give myself a bunch of extra time to find it

Sorry about Powder Puff, Breella

She was very pretty.

A question for you all with dirt floor coops - how does it work? What do you use for bedding with the dirt floor? I'm trying to determine what direction I want to go with this new coop.

well, I would not do deep litter again on my dirt floor. cleaning it out in the spring was just was too much for my husband and I to do. (18 foot x 6 foot) (part was duck and part was chicken)--its back breaking work -especially this spring with the extra rain and my coop flooded.( I gave my 20 year old son-in-law to 50 bucks to shovel it out) we have since dug out the inside of the coop from 6 to 16 inches down and put in drainage pipe and put gravel back in over it. we also did it in front of the coop dug it out 2 foot down and continued the drainage pipe. I am in the process of putting sand over the gravel in the coop for easy cleaning.(couple bags a week). It will also make it easier this year to put a heater under the water to keep it from freezing and not worry about something catching fire. we extended the back of our shed to make our coop.


sand will be easier to rake clean and put DE in..

I may have a mess of chicks soon to rehome if anyone's looking - have three broodies who have been hiding little nests of eggs from me and I do NOT need any more chickens. I'll let everyone know what comes out when they hatch.

Oh, and one little EE rooster, but he's too young to go out yet.

Well I think I read in the bible that unless you have a big feast and a bunch of drunken relatives it doesn't count. Oh and I almost forgot there must be a brawl and the cops have to come too.

We got married by a JP and had a small party after with just family. Then took off for Virginia. 37 years ago this month.

Congratulations and I wish you many many more years together.

Congratulations. We didn't have a big wedding either, just a JP, some friends and family. We hit 12 years back in July.
