NY chicken lover!!!!

That's great advice Rancher. I actually found a lump when I was 20 and they did a biopsy. Luckily it was nothing but you can never be too careful.

The EE who goes broody under the deck is at it again. She's been there for at least a week now and when I checked this morning it looked like she had kicked out 2 eggs from under her and they were off to the side. I am assuming she did this because they weren't developing? I think I'm going to stick a rake under there when I get home and try to get them out and take a look. I don't really like this whole not being able to candle thing...it's driving me nuts not knowing what's actually going on under there. I can just see her come wandering out with 10 chicks following her...

Aqha, if she does parade out with a huge bunch of chicks she will be humming I did it my way.

Seriously...haha I really don't want any chicks right now is the frustrating part. However, I am kind of curious to see what happens.

Hi again NY chicken folks! Stopping back in to say we went and got our 6 babies from Nature Berry Farm in Macedon, and they are doing fantastic. this is really fun (1st chickens we have had) and easier than I thought. Nature Berry is very cool, and Jim and Sandy are very nice and helpful. We had a fun day. Took one hour each way, and the chicks were fine with the included heat packs. I wish we could go get more!



We chose these gals...
Buff Orphington
Silver Lace Wyandotte
Buff Wyandotte
Golden Laced Wyandotte
Black Australope
Partridge Wyandotte.

I am not sure of their exact age, but they went on sale on the 11th I believe, so maybe a week or so?

Metella and I took a trip today to a swan pond and we got to see some beautiful mute swans. I got some good pictures. Here is the female:

Here is the male guarding the nest while the female swims. They have two eggs currently:

I also got some new babies today, two pairs:

They are purebred Ayam Cemanis.

Is that the pair in Manlius? Manny & Fay?

It is! We met the person who donated them and got to chat with him for a while.

I'd love some green eggs to go with my blue ones. Must of my girls lay brown but some are so light they look pink

Eta:'have you ever tried coloring the brown ones? One of these days I am going to try it. I've downloaded directions on how,to use different veggies for coloring. Spinach, beets,etc.

I have and they look great! I have also painted them with a pearly acrylic paint, more like a wash...came out beutiful! The colored eggs, deepen the dye color.
