...i haven't looked at the radar lately.....Have you found all your little boogers?...snots..whatever..., hope they all found their way back into the barn..Enjoy your steak salad!!
it is an inside (besides hanging out laundry), coupons and filling out Drs. paper work ..blah..although it has been nice, we got caught up on a show we do watch..what would do without "On Demand"?ahhahaha, the only way we get to watch anything cause we get so dang busy this time of year..well, from now until snow..hahaha...
Is anyone else here disappointed about those darn Pitt. Penguins?!? Thought maybe this year we would have a team to root-for, now I don't care
....will probably still watch, but not with the same enthusiasm....
oh my gosh..don't even get me started one these darn hens...getting ready to put one out with a 'for-sale' sign!! That darn Ginger...she just will not give up on stealing-sitting on the others eggs...
*I am doing the wet-cold sponges in the nest box right now,and cool water on her plucked bottom,(she did it,not me), but she has found how to get the eggs of others..and she sits on them at the coop "floor", we use sand...she thinks she is sooo slick that one, well..she will be in a separate cage by the end of the week if her act doesn't straighten up!!.

Ahahah mine just went broody, I had one go broody a week ago aswell she is sitting on 8 eggs and I have 18 In the bator, so I don't need anymore to hatch, I just need her to lay ahah from 13 including the one sitting, I am getting 5, for a while I was getting 10 or so a day but now it's 5 idk why? :/
You can try a cool water bath. It brings down her temp and makes her breast cool. That way she won't want to sit on a nest of eggs while all wet and cool. She'll know that she can't sit on the eggs like that or she'll ruin the hatch. Then hopefully she'll forget about it by the time she dries.
ok I'll Try that, I would of done it tonight, but couldn't find the bucket, and in the space of a day, she has plucked her breast raw, there is hardly any feathers left and all in the space of a day, I hope she just gives up and goes back to laying ahaha
Anyone in York county have any real young chicks for sale? My broody is on day 21 sitting on shipped eggs and I'm not sure they are going to hatch and I don't want her to be without chicks since she has done such a good job!

I give up. I am not going back to read 200 posts.
I have been working on cleaning the second coop in the shed. It was 6 X 8, but I took the wall down. When it (finally!) dries, I will make it only 6 X 6. I need more storage room.
Since I was too filthy to go in the house to take breaks, I began working on planting what I have for the garden. A few things will have to wait. I was getting too sore and just plain tired after five hours or so of almost constant work. Not bad for an obese woman that hasn't worked like that in ... A while!
The BBW are getting huge! 8 weeks now, and they are getting their wattles and their snoods are growing. Their noises are changing too.
The Bourbon Red poults are 4-weeks now. They had a growth spurt over the weekend, and they are pretty much red and white now. They stink to high heavens! I am cleaning their brooder daily, and switched their water to a soup bowl to stop most of the water spillage. I hope to get them outside tomorrow with a heat lamp. It figures that the temperature would go down to the 30's as soon as I get them out!
I tried to post a few days ago, but the message got lost. If you are like Stake (not picking. You are just the only one I remember) and can't wait to plant in the spring, go to Home Depot, and buy Wall O Wonder. About six weeks before the last frost, you plant your vegetable, and put a bucket over it. Slide the Wall over the bucket, and fill the channels with water. Slowly pull the bucket off the plant. The Wall will close in like a tee pee. The water heats up during the day, and keeps the plant warm during the night. One claim is that it even works in a blizzard. The 3-pack is $10.47 at my closest store. When the plant gets bigger, the Wall can be staked open.

i have been doing the wet-cold sponges in the egg boxes, and cooling off her now totally bare area, she is now half way "oven ready"
...gosh...anyway, I put cool water on her breast & underbelly..she is so hot!!! temperature....hasn't stopped her yet..she does take a break for awhile, but she is still at it! Going to do the separation crate thing this weekend, so I can make sure no-eggs are sat on and that the other hens get to actually sit in a box....it will take time, but it will happen..
oh my gosh..don't even get me started one these darn hens...getting ready to put one out with a 'for-sale' sign!! That darn Ginger...she just will not give up on stealing-sitting on the others eggs...
