My new Granddaughter and her Mom!

Awwww <3

Good morning! I fell asleep in my chair last night and am paying for it! No idea how a recliner can beat you to death lol!
I had good intentions, feet were a little puffy so I put em up and kept them up all night.
Was actually a little cool when I went out, little ones seemed to love it.
That goofy rooster likes to glide off the perch to the ground now instead of using a step down route.
I worry he's going to break his neck, he isn't graceful in the least.

I have a couple who do that. I'm always afraid they're going to break their legs when they land on the pallets I have in front of the coop.

Morning folks.

Bitty put the kids to bed in an upper nest last night. You can imagine my surprise reaching in to gather my one egg from that coop and getting a Derp baby scream.


Again the chores pile up on me.
I will do what I can. It is going to be hot again.

I have 3 extra strawberries so will get those planted. Trees still need cutting down.....that should be fun. I will get the lumber for the pond no today too. I plan to get it cut and sealed then the space prepped.

The pet store for a shipment of my chosen fish......I am not ready for them yet!
I don't want to miss out though. They only get 2 shipments a year. This is number 2.

Wow, you've got a lot going on. Hopefully the weather will be nice to you so you can get everything done.

Since the pond is quite small and I will have to bring them in in winter I am going with white cloud mountain minnows.
They are about an inch long, eat mosquito larva, are silvery from above and very active.
Think of the neon tetra but light colored.

I know what they are. I have been keeping fish since I was 12. I read a lot of books. Came in handy when we had our chain of pet stores.

Several of mine do the jump and flop. I certainly wouldn't call it flying. I hear them jump down and yell "look out below" :::THUD:::
They always saunter off like nothing happened. I do say a little prayer for safe landing EVERY TIME.

I’ll try cleaning it off tomorrow. Poor thing had enough meddling with tonight.

If you leave it alone, the goo and etc will dry up and fall of by itself.

Definitely not good to sleep all night on a couch or in a chair. It gets worse the older I am too.

Hey guys,

A second keet hatched this morning. I saw a couple of the other eggs being pecked at from the inside. I opened the shell for breech keet, but it isn't looking good. It doesn't want to kick out of its shell.

Give it a drop of vitamin and see how it does. Sometimes it takes a day for them to get going. Is the egg sack absorbed?

I now have 4 keets, including breech chick. Looks like it kicked its way out and bled a little bit. The sack is absorbed but the umbilical is a bit swollen. I gave it a dose of straigh nutridrench to see if that will help. I need to move the chick that hatched last night and this morning to a brooder. They are trying to jump out of the incubator every time I open it, and the sides of the brinsea is so low that they might just succeed.

Preparation H is supposed to be good for the umbilicus sore
