So, after we finished moving the birds to death row, my SIL and I decided to go to tractor supply because one of our waterers broke during the move and our galvanized feed pans are starting to rust through. Well, on the way back, my van started making a loud thumping noise. The belt is either loose or it is starting to fray. We made it to our local auto repair shop and now we are waiting on DH to pick us up. Such a fun morning. And I still have roosters I need to process. :th
 
Good morning all!:frow

So, no BBC's in my immediate future. Gonna have to wait till spring and hatch out some AC eggs. Oh well! I tried.

Mystery Chick #4 hatched this morning (or last night). :love S/he is a cute little Silkie mix with 5 toes each and multicolored down. This is the only one that has black legs! It's fluffing out in the bator now. :jumpy

I have one more egg left to hatch which is a Serama. That one is due today or tomorrow.
If that one hatches, that will be a perfect hatch rate!

I slipped the newest baby under the moms before. It took a little bit but now it's under the wings. All the babies are eating and active, and it's so adorable to see chick babies with mamas! This is the 4th batch of chicks I've brooded, but the first one I did with hens. No more stinky yoga room/chicken room for two months for me! Yay!

This has been truly exciting being on this chick journey with you. Thanks for bringing us along.

Fingers crossed that it’s only a belt.
 
Quick work day on the coop. Got the sillplate for the new wall down. And two studs up. Fixed a few more areas to really shore up where regular 2x4 construction meets 4x4. Then got two pieces of wall up!
I did get to use a hammer drill. My hands are still all tingly.

Just look at that blue sky and that beautiful surrounding. You’re flock is going to be so happy there!
