Official Squatch Watchers

[Redhead Rae]

Good morning everyone.

I am not feeling well today. Any time I get up and move I start feeling sick to my stomach. Fortunately, I was able to get Thing 1 off to my parents and now I'm logging into work. I really feel like I could use a 2 hour nap. Thing 1 woke me up at 6am. I think I need to get blackout curtains because he's been getting up with the sun.

Suzi you were like an hour away from me ....

Sassy when you go to Chattanooga, depending on the route you take, you'll likely drive right past me.

Its such a beautiful area

I am NOT good with condensed updates but......

Nunny got chicks closer to home since Meyers would not be able to fill her order she placed forever ago.
A broody is raising them. She is a good broody.....2 chicks managed to wander off from her though and did not make it.
She also has some very pretty hatching eggs and an incubator..... Chicky has Derp eggs she can mail her too....

Rae is making progress on the homestead. An ornery chicken obsessed guinea has been sold! Her house is still moving forward toward completion. T1 got stung on the finger by a nasty wasp but is recovering well.

Cappy has not told us how many Derps she got at Rural King.
Inquiring minds need to know!

Sassy's bird Henrietta is still not eating well.

Miss May got a stay of execution because she is up and about a bit more.


Of course I know I missed a bunch of goings on.

That was a great update. Thanks

Good Morning! @FlyingNunFarm what happened with your chick order. Did they run out or what?
@Redhead Rae sorry you feel sick but glad to hear the house is coming along
@CapricornFarm we need details on the number of derp babies

I lurv Nashville. Although the downtown area has changed a lot the past 2-3 years, and not in a good way.

Yeah Nashville is great but I wouldn't want to live there. My niece lives in an awesome apartment right downtown so there was always something to do within walking distance. She loves it there....its definitely a place for the young. She is 29 so for her its perfect.
We went to the Johnny Cash Museum, the Grand Ole Opry, Top Golf ( I had no idea what this was before I went, If you have never been you'll have to Google it), lots and lots of bars and even did an Escape Room. It was a blast but Im glad to be home.

I ordered 4 different breeds in January. Then the Thursday before I was supposed to pick them up I got email after email that breeds were unavailable. 3 of the 4! At first I was going to sub in 2 more chicks of an available breed but it just have me the creeps. Something didn't feel right about 3 breeds not hatching. So I cancelled the order.

I got in touch with County Line Rainbow Eggs. She's around the corner and explained my order was kaput and my mamma was waiting. So I picked up chicks from her on Friday.

I sadly lost 2 the first night. They squeezed themselves out of the crate and away from mom. She is happily taking care of the rest of them.

And now 2 young bantam Cochins want babies of their own. The joy of broodies!

How big is it? It looks like some kind of parasitic wasp.
She sounds like Marlene, on death's door one day perfectly fine the next.

It is very stressful!
This morning she ate some scratch and a bit of boiled chopped egg on her own. When I separate her she adamantly refuses to eat but in the group she eats a small amount.



Edited because autocorrect is stupid.
Not sure why the tater the quote is all messed up either....[/QUOTE]
She said it is kind of medium sized. Not huge like a big wasp.
I came up with a muddauber wasp and told her since she has a balcony with lots of surrounding trees to look at the bricks around her door for those tube shaped wasp nests. They might be coming in unnoticed when she and her roommate go in and out.

Today I’ll be running around again. Getting ready for a sister’s weekend. They are both a LOT older than me and keep reminding me of that, plus we haven’t seen each other in 5 years.

Looking forward to it and also a little nervous because they are like 2 bossy mothers to me. Lol.

We will go through Huntsville, Scottsboro and Kimball.

We have a Top Golf in Huntsville. The bars used to have really great bands and play country music. Now, every bar has 3-5 stages, the music quality is not as good and now there is a lot of techno, rap, etc being played in downtown Nashville. So wrong on so many levels! Maybe that just shows I am grown up since I don’t like the change.

Ok, feeling a good bit better now. Apparently, I needed to eat. That glass of milk I had as a stop gap measure wasn't cutting it.
