I'm already at work, lol! I'll text you on my break and we can set something up for tomorrow or Tuesday. They are the perfect age to be in with the chicks I got yesterday, so they're no trouble to hang onto for a day or two. They are all fluffy and vigorous! I didn't manage to catch the split, so it's in there somewhere, but it looks the same as the others so it might be pure.

 

[Metella]

Yes - it may be pure - but it won't really matter to me as I am only going for real blue egg color

OK - that's funny - I must have just missed you ....

Let me know ahead of time some times that work best for you -as the truck is down for repairs again and I'll have to drive DH into work if I want the car

We had a visitor at our house today .
Chicken alarm went off ...Im looking around to see what Bobby / others are fussing about ..
No sign of anything ...so I go over to where they are looking ...
Chickens are either running away from it or wanting to attack it
A small woodchuck is wandering in our yard .So cute ...stubby little legs ..short little tail


Doesnt seem to know where it is going ..so I pick it up ..
By the back of the head thinking it may bite ..it is about the size of my 2 hands ..
It acts cold & has a sniffly / runny nose .
We have 2 wood chuck holes behind our house .
I put him in one of them he crawls right back out ..to me ...Im oh no hes bonded to me ..
I pick it up it ..it just sets on my hand..I have Gloves on
So I Go to the other hole ..put it down in it ...he hesitates then go down the hole ..
I hear this terrible growling ...Im calling the baby ...come back baby come back..
Then it stops ....no screams from the baby like it is being attacked ..
Then I hear little sweet mmu mu muu sounds ..I think Mom Recognized it & was comforting it

we had one living under the coop. It would be in the yard grazing while the chickens just went about their business.

Well I came home from the NH chickenstock with 6 dozen eggs (2 of them mine though). DH fired up the frigabator this morning because it's the only bator big enough to fit them all. He kept telling me we need another breed like a hole in the head, insert sinister giggle here.

I'm going to get the girls outside today and check out my gardens. Hopefully the raspberries are sending new shoots, rhubarb should be doing something, asparagus too, and I planted greens a couple weeks ago. I picked up broccoli and cauliflower packs friday too. Yay for sunshine!

my rhubarb and raspberries were doing okay when we left. I think I have maybe two raspberry plants out of far to many planted.

I thought I'd share our new chicks! My parents picked up some Barred Rocks and Americanas. The older chicks are mine, some lovely French Black Copper Marans!

Yes A few clears, and one was cracked all down the side, started to develop, and may have quit so I need to candle it tonight, but most are looking good.
