The bluebirds are still negotiating about the houses. It's lovely to see them swooping around with their beautiful blueness. Can you tell I have never had bluebirds in my yard before?

Morning all. Going to be beautiful today. Too bad I am at work all day. Silkies are out now and dh will let the terrorists out later. Lockdown tomorrow for heritage rir and mutt eggs. Hoping for a good hatch. Silkie eggs hatching at the end of the month.

Have a nice day.

Yay! we are back. If anyone near Saratoga might be looking for some older hens that are still laying well send me a PM. They are pushing two years old but are not production/hatchery birds. To a good home that also won't eat them, please. The one group I am considering rehoming has three of annie's australorps, five EE's and one mutt (leghorn X BO). Very friendly ladies, probably because they have never had a rooster beating them up. Would prefer they go in a group. Just thought I would throw that out there before I go through the fun of moving them into the big coop and dealing with the pecking order problems.

Went to the TSC in Saratoga today - left disappointed because they were cleaning the floors and didn't have what I needed (kitty litter!), but if anyone is in need of some ducks you might get a good deal there - they have one tub full of ducks that are HUGE - those poor duckies have to be several weeks old, if not older. I'm not a duck person and I didn't see a sign, but they were yellow. I guess everyone wanted the cute fuzzy ducks in the other tub, not these older ones. ;P

I haven't seen any this year yet but I still have snow out there I usually always see them though so I am sure they will be back

Curious what happens if no one buys them - do they just keep marking them down until someone takes them? Never saw such big 'chicks' in a TSC before so I guess it was too cold for anyone to want the poor things. I don't do ducks, so I wasn't tempted - but hopefully someone else will be!

I do know they do mark them down but from there I don't know I do know I am going to stop to my TS on Monday to see if they got anymore anything in I went last week and the tubs were all empty

They had quite a few chicks at Saratoga TSC. I'm hoping to do just one hatch this year so didn't buy any. If I can find local eggs, that is. (don't want to deal with shipped eggs again).

I am stoked that all the chickens made it just fine through the winter - no heat, yay! I have two broodies already, but they are in a bad coop for brooding so no eggs.
