Morning everyone.

We got a few inches of snow overnight.

I am really glad I brought in all my plants.
It is going to be another snowy day here.

Good morning.....no snow here but its cold

I cleared the snow off the greenhouse. It is cold in there as expected.
The plants I left in there look good still.
Just strawberry and onion plants are hanging out in the cold

Peas, radish and lettuce are all buried in snow.

I battled my way into the big chicken run. The lilacs were all laying across the path.
Everyone is fine. I got a broody growl out of an Australorp.
And so it begins........

No word on how it's doing. Last night he didn't think it was going to live long. He put it with a chick that also hatched.
Glad I hadn't sold any of the eggs. Bad enough I gave them to byc member. I feel horrible putting him through a footless poult. He has 8 more to hatch. One other had hatched and died right away. Another bycer has 6 one had hatched and was fine. I have 12 hatching Friday.... Worried they are too inbred.

Probably just a mutation. Not your fault.

First time I have had a birth defects
He said stumpy died overnight. Out of a dz he hadn't had a live one. But Faraday40 has. I have some hatching Friday so we will see what happens

Turkeys are hard to hatch. I did good with 9 of 15 hatching, lost 2.

Last year I bred hatch mates, hoping they weren't too related. The lady who hatched them from shipped eggs 12/12 , Said she was told they could be bronze, bourbon or palm.
I kept the 6 girls and bred them back to dad. Not sure which hen stumpy came from, but I will be looking for a new tom... And eating all I hatch this year

Last year I set 26 under broody and ended up with 11 at 8 wks

Good afternoon! Feel bad even saying it but it is a gorgeous day! Sunny and already 75 degrees, the kids are going out in half an hour and they are going to loooove it.

I refuse to like this post! And I agree with @oldhenlikesdogs

Cappy if they go with Ann for a middle name I suggest Kimberly for a first. It's a great combination.

I was also a large girl at 9 lbs 12 oz. Oddly enough due to my heartbeat they thought I was going to be a boy.

I don't know.....I named a derp Kim and all she does is poop in the water.

That's appalling tell Kim, if she is going to poo in the water, she is only going to get ice cubes and she can wait for them to melt.

It is probably going to hit 90° today here! Lots of watering to do.
