Good morning! And you too! I'm happy to have had my meat birds out in the chicken tractor since Wednesday morning. They are enjoying it. Sorry to hear about your DOA keets that you mentioned in your other post.Good morning Henrietta, I hope you are well. Have a great day.
Good morning! You can call me Becky by the way. Sorry to hear about your keets, doa is never fun. I've never ordered chicks online so I wouldn't know about them being delayed but I'm not shocked they'd be delayed in Cleveland. Hope the remaining ones thrive and you can get reimbursment for the others. I'm glad it's warmer now, the temps are supposed to drop and bring in rain. My yard was finally drying out
Hi Becky, I'm surprised the four I have left seem to be doing well.
Mark I read that if the eggs are not fertile the Hen will know and kick them out. I know her Sister is probably put her eggs in the nest too and I am sure she is not throwing out fertile eggs as the back of her head has not been touched. The one that flew the coop is the real Mother for the most part. I had put a few white eggs in from other hens but I am not sure if they were fertile or not. I have never had a coon get into my coop, Thank You Lord!!! I have Nite-Guard lights on all sides of it and it is pretty well protected. Sugar is sitting tight on those eggs and she has never gotten to have any ducklings yet so I am just going to keep an eye on her. Thanks though.
Good morning Debbie, Thats great news that Sugar is sitting good! My female swan is setting on two eggs in the coop. Her name is Swanita, She is a sweety. The Cob is on the war path with strangers at the moment. His name is Baby cakes or BC for short. He gets all hunkered up when a strangers approach the fence.
I need another cup of coffee! 
Good morning(afternoon) Mark. Rained all night here, creek is high and backyard is muddyGood morning Becky, I hope you are having a wonderful morning.
It rained here also. I woke up this morning early and looked out the window and to my surprise there was a monster skunk in the west acre. It looked pregnant. Wow was she a big one. Cute as could be. I hope she made it home safe she picked around the grass for about 1/2 hour then headed for the woods across the road. I would have liked to got a photo, but I'll be darned if I was going to get that close.
