Office Work.......

[Beth G.]

Good Morning Y'all,

It's a beautiful day here in CT. No humidity at all yeah!! I'm so excited I get to get out of the office at 12:30 to go sell eggs at the local farmers market

. I'm also waiting for my baby chicks to arrive from my pet chicken. I just called USPS they aren't there yet

. I was thinking b/c they are right here in CT I would have them within a day! Guess not.

How is everyone else doing today?

I have successfully addicted a new peep to the magic of d'Uccles. Better yet, her DH is addicted and mentioned having chicks in the future. I feel a deep swell of contentment within my heart.

Its Tuesday, Monday is behind us. 40% chance of rain for the next 3 days. If I'd watered the garden yesterday evening, we might've gotten rained on last night. We only get rain when I water outside...

Hey Beth! Yes, it's gorgeous on the Cape too. I rode my bike to work. Lucky you to get new chicks! Hope the delivery goes well and that all are peeping and pooping happily!​

WEgot, this is your week of contentment, that's for sure. Yay for your wonderful daughter too!

But you are a d'Uccles pusher.

I am not addicted to quack, that's for sure.

But Batty may be right when she says d'Uccles have the same hypnotic capabilites as Silkies. I dearly love my little featherfeet!! I stayed outside for 2 hours yesterday wandering around the pens dispersing treats and staring at each bird.
I'm going to sell my PQ goldneck trio so that I have more grow-out room for my teen birds. I can't pick the SQ birds out of the teen pen until September but since there's 18 birds in there I need to split them all up. Especially since I have 6 black d'Uccle chicks and about 40 eggs being incubated by either broody or bator (why do they want to be broody in the summer? I mean really? Isn't it hot enough out there??).

I'm glad DD had a good first day of band camp. But she worried me this morning, taking a book to read and not wanting to practice her music. We had a 'talk' before I booted her out of the car...
I made her the tortilla/lunchmeat pinwheels for lunch. I know they will be delicious because I ate the scraps/ends for my own breakfast! With an apple and a bag of sunchips it will be a fairly nutritious lunch.

I swear I have that same problem with my Garden too!! It's annoying eh? I need to learn more about these d'Uccles. I recently bought Silkies and really like them. Are the d'Uccles small like a banty or like a small chicken? I guess I could go check the breed button (dah me) brb.

Hello, I envy you with the biking to work! I biked to work several times last year but, this year with the Farm Markets I am exhausted and if not that I've always got something going on right after work... Poor me I know....

d'Uccles only come in bantam, and are a little bigger than a Serama. Look at my BYC page; I have some d'Uccle pics on there. They are eye-candy birds and mine are more affectionate than my Silkies & Showgirls.

For me, watering the garden brings rain more consistently than washing my car. Poor car...​

Hi, I just looked at them very nice! I need a few broodies so maybe next time around when I go to get more chicks I will look into this breed. I like the ones on the breed page that are blue/lav looking.

I want to try that - today I just brought leftover chicken and some cherries.

Crossing fingers for a good day at camp for her.
