Guy, glad yer 'maters made through the storm and all the peeps too...worst part about spring is all the bad storms...don't mind the thunder showers..but hail stinks a bunch!

Was wondering about a few contest at poops. Kinda like the fair. Prettiest egg, darkest, smallest, biggest, oddest, etc. I know the kids would love it. We could set up a table & let people vote??? Any objections? I could organize it & set up a table. Maybe we could give out prizes for winners.

Forgot to say Matthew plays AAU basketball and has practice from 6 to 9 each monday. The things we do for our children lol.

Same here. I spend a few nights each week with my son at practice plus tournaments
and league games each weekend. I love it but it can be tiresome..

Good Morning Okies, I am back from far, far away land~ it looks like everyone is really having fun hatching. I have some set under hens, have to see what happens. Worked really hard yesterday so I am looking forward to returning to work today so I can rest. I should be picking up my bee's this morning but once I do, I will return everyone's PM's.

Can't possibly catch up this morning, but wanted to drop in say good morning and I hope no one got hurt in the storms last night.

Morning everyone. I am so sleepy. I put all 14 chicks in my room. BIG mistake. I don't remember my reds making this much noise compared to these brahmas. lol. But Oh well. Doesn't take much for me to go downstairs to the couch. My dad came in the room last night to look at the chicks that Mitzi gave us. He brought in one of those huge mosquito looking bugs, idk what they are called. He was cracking up watching them. They got excited at first but then when one let go and it flew they all got scared. Bless em. The little lavender am's grabbed it ad then it was a fight. Too funny.

My blue silkie didn't make it. So I have one white silkie chick and it makes me sad. So my dad said he's buying a fan and a turner for the incubator....I think we are going to need to build more coops. He said the next auction I go to he's going.

Mitzi, that black am's is the calmest bird. He walks up to me and lets me pick him up. I say him, idk I haven't bothered looking at wings yet. But I'm just so in love with it.

Mitzi I can't believe you are upgrading already! I hear a cabinet incubator in your future next.
The plants being cut off at the ground could be cut worms, go out with a flashlight & check the plants now that it is dark & you should see them. Also have had lots of aphid damage & seeing cucumber beetles. I have had damage to everything I planted in white plastic mulch but no damage to stuff in black mulch.
Went to the Walters auction tonight. DD took 20 chicks & we bought an electric smoker & some other stuff. No birds. DH offered to buy many different birds but I didn't see anything I couldn't live without. Overall it was a good crowd. Mike took a good haul of eggs & birds home. Saw buster there too.

Yep - looked and cut worms it is - time to spray.
