Thanks for the info Betsy. We only have one coral blue, but lots of royal purples this yr. Maybe that changes things up. I seriously stopped expecting coral blues since I wasn't hardly hatching them last yr. I still haven't hatch a buff dundotte or a white this yr. hatched several of those last yr & this yr I have buff dundotte & white hens laying.
Oceans the chick was prob a wk or 2. I don't think she took anything more than 2 wks old to poops.
Army wife sorry you lost the hen.
Also hate hearing about the dog attack! Are the dogs still loose? Or are they now properly contained? My dogs run loose, but we are almost a mile from an other houses & if anyone ever told me my dogs were causing problems @ their place those dogs would be in their kennel or on the chain. I will say my dogs do chase the cattle, but only if they come to the fence line-- they quickly go tell them to get back to their side.
My girls will be home in 2 hours. School is letting out early for a funeral. This town makes me scratch my head, the funeral isn't for a child or school employee so I don't get it. They are having the funeral at the school. So what if the kids were suppose to have their annual field day & the highschool is doing semester test. I really want to go back to homeschooling & DH agrees. This school is a million times better than Lawton or we wouldn't had tried it, but I am so frustrated with the way things are done here. Oldest DD has there end of the yr filedtrip Monday for reading over a million words & they still haven't announced where they are going! Sorry for the venting..... Man the school makes me crazy! I only show up there now to pick up the kids or pay for lunches, since everytime I go I just get more frustrated. my kids prefer going to public school for the social aspect of it, when we were in Lawton & I homeschooled we had at least 3-4 events each wk where they had social time with others. I do think that would be hard to pull off here, chicken auctions would be there only social time. That & church but since moving we havent found a church that DH, me & the kids can all agree on. Seems if one girl likes it the other doesn't or DH doesn't. Only 5 more days of school then we have the summer to decide what we will do for next yr.
Planted the last 4 flats of tomatoes yesterday. Will plant some other seeds today. Still have a few flags of herbs I started that need permanent homes. Just can't think of where to put them that the chicken, goats or husband won't hurt them.
