 Hooray!!!  Is that good for sizzles?  Post a pic! Do you know how to download pics from a flip phone?  I don't want to use my digital camera as I have about 350 pics on it and I don't want to have to download all of them for a couple of pictures.  I want to post a pic of the chicks I bought from you. I threw a pen up outside for them this morn so they could get some sunshine and excercise.  They love it!!! My mini schnauzer will sit and watch them for a long time.  I think she feels motherly to them.  They aren't afraid of her either.  So Cute!!

I'm not real sure about the pictures from a flip phone. I bet they are thrilled. That hen just started taking the 4 everywhere on the property but she always brings then back to the horse barn to sleep. She has made one heck of a mother this time around. I'll take pictures of the sizzles once we get back home.

Anybody looking for a start of a pretty fair sustainable home meat/egg type birds. Been working on these a couple years now, and are coming around. They are not going to produce a carcass as fast as the commerrcial broilers but the males end up pretty massive, with out the leg issues. They will breed naturally, some of the hens will go broody, lay a nice brown egg.

I will be sorting out the this years young birds shortly, keeping some back to add to the breeding pen. But it really would be a waste of some very good genetics just to sell these off for someone to throw in with a mixed flock and not utilize their potential.

Some of the youngsters.

I must say I am in love with the concept of broodys. I couldn't find my connector for my brinsea brooder so I put all 5 of the babies under her and they are all happy as can be. It also means I only have a silkie right now in my small coop. Hmm. Think I will be putting in my other silkie and showgirl in it and then add my new roo to it. Kind of excited now pure bred silkie eggs in the incubator.

They are very nice! And so pretty! You've done good!

Too cute. Well I checked my showgirls and they were all quitters. But I still have 5 new little fluffys and a new paint silkie roo. It has been a good day overall.

Hey Cincinnati folks, how bad is that storm looking so far?
Of an original 20, I only have 9 eggs still kickin' in the bator (including showgirls! and not including 34 quail eggs) and it's only Day 6! I'd hate to lose the rest to a power outage.

Is everyone in bed? Busy attending to their lives outside BYC? Lost power? Breaking out the hot water bottles and thermal blankets just in case.

Nope, were alive and have power here. Even if the power goes out, I've got a great big generator. We are set.

Got 3 sizzles, I think the 4th quit. I've got one BLRW put and the other 4 pipped already.
