Hello all! Once again, we are preparing for yet another snow storm. Just when the snow was almost gone, here we go again. My chickens are really going to hate me tomorrow when they see the evil white stuff yet again after enjoying some freerange time for the last week. Sigh. More extras treats yet again!
Yesterday my 10 silky eggs went into lockdown. I am so hoping they hatch. They looked really good when I candled them. Having a bit of a problem holding humidity and temp in the bator but I think its due to the everchanging weather and fluctuating temp in the house. I think it is finally stabalized. You are my heros, rancher and tigrlily, having so many in the bators!! Some day I will be just like you! (I just need more coops, bators, and brooder boxes and of course, more chickens!) I hope you enablers up north arent going to get this storm. My lone silky is growing in leaps and bounds! Mumbles is 28 days old tomorrow and I hope she is nice to the new babies. I dont know if she knows she is a chicken though as she spends a lot of time with me. She is very good at the silky mind meld. I am powerless.
Welcome to the newbies up north! Its the beginning of an insideous addiction that grows quickly! There is no cure so dont bother looking for one!
If anyone is looking for me, I am the woman with the permanent snow shovels attached to her hands. We'll probably get snow in July too!!!
Toodles!!!
