NY chicken lover!!!!

[LadyHawkeAvry]

Well, the silkie is fine this evening. No clue what happened. I put her in with the very young chicks just in case - last thing it needs is to get run over by the chicks in the pool brooder after that ordeal. And Honey's son, who still needs a name, did two little crows while I was in the workshop. I've actually never heard a chick as young as him crow and it was adorable.

I'm glad your little silkie is doing better!! And how old was He Who Has Not Yet Been Named? Just the thought a chick crowing is just adorable!

About six or seven weeks, I forget his actual hatch date He was a random huge leghorn egg I tossed in the incubator when one of the girls started up in the winter randomly. I'm glad I tossed him in - he's Honey's last chick, since Honey was killed in the weasel attack. I posted a picture about a week ago, here he is:

Hearing that little crow was hilarious. He's technically a black sex link despite the coloring because apparently my leghorn is barred. You can see the barring just barely in this picture on his wings. That little comb has grown a lot in the past week!

Tesoro .... Italian equivalent to Honey (as in sweetie - love - actually means treasure) How's that for a nice name ?

Fired up the cabinet... It's now day 3 of the build, and I'm watching it slowly come up to temperature.... Next up will be building trays, adjusting humidity and temperature calibration...
I'm really happy with it so far, but an incubator this size could make me dangerous with respect to chicken math...

When I'm done I will likely do a build thread. It's the biggest incubator I have built to date....

Got half the coop cleaned out today. Going slowly because Lacie isn't a huge fan. I'm on the approved visitors list for the nest, but the shovel is NOT. She doesn't like it. So when she hisses to say she's had enough, I take a break and let her settle. She was a good girl about it though and I hand fed her some bread because she wasn't going to get off the nest when I was throwing it to the chickens and I didn't want her to miss out. The cemanis also had some free range time again while I was doing the coop and I got some good pictures of them. Also, apparently the fresh clean coop and the time outside has convinced one hen to lay for me! So when I get a couple more I'm popping them in the 'bator to check if Raptor is doing his job.

LadyHawk, I want to thank you again for the sebbie egg delivery! Lacie says thanks too. You've made her a very happy goose.
