Ok Rancher, I put some pics up here: my page https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=86104-the-coop-in-progress

Let's see if I can figure out how to add descriptive narrative. Hope you all had a nice long weekend!

THE EGGS ARE PEEPING!!!!! No pips, but definately noise from the nest box. I wonder if the Momma hen is as excited as I am?

Very nice. I swear some of these chickens live in better digs than some people I know.

Anyone want any Ameraucana eggs? I'm feeling guilty eating them all, lol I had three dozen set aside for someone that I was going to put in the bator, but he never emailed me back and then something ate my broody off her nest, so her eggs and the last four duck eggs are now in the bator. I'm not setting up another, nope nope nope. FREE, you pick up, I only ask if you get a Lavender you give it back, since I am cursed with getting any to add to my flock!

My Buff duck hatched out seven ducklings, they are super cute!

I'll have to take pics of them.

I also have a couple of Rex brood does available if anyone would like to try their hand at raising their own meat, I can see if I have a young buck to go with them, and a Trio of Silver Fox too. I also have two Jr SF bucks, but I'm probably going to stick those in the freezer this week... I'm open to trades, I could use fencing, cages, a barn fan.

I also have a couple Lionheads (crosses and purebreds) ready to go.

I also have a pair of Khaki Campbells from Holderreads, it can be a trio if these will be the only ducks you'll have (I have a mink attack survivor that can go along free with them, or she can go free with her half bind Runner drake friend, the flock of ducks left him someplace yesterday, he finally showed up late last night!)

Email me at [email protected] if you're interested, the system never tells me about PM's.

I need to make some cuts since its getting harder to do stuff (I'm six months pregnant and freaking exhausted) and I sure hate to just eat stuff thats decent, ya know?

Thanks!
Dawn

I HAVE CHICKS!!!! OMG, is this what you all get so excited about?

When I went to work this morning I had peeps in my eggs. Now I have THREE CHICKS and one pip.

The momma hen let me lift her up, cuz she's a sweetie and I just had given her water right to her beak, and three THREE THREEEE Chicks fell out of her feathers. She stuffed them back under.

THEY ARE THE CUTEST CHICKS IN THE WORLD!!!!!

(And I have NO IDEA what breed they are cuz I bartered for the eggs and I don't even know the person I got them from. Arranged through a third party)

I am doing a snoopy dance around the room....This is soooo exciting. CHICKS!!!!!
