Erie,pa!!!

Welcome from Bucks County! The exact opposite end of the state!

Awesome! I have an entire drawer empty in my cabinet. And 2 more drawers are emptying as I type. I have over 100 eggs in lockdown with the first 6 chicks already out & 5 already in the brooder. You can unload as many eggs on me as you like...lol

Looks like my blue copper marans roo is the daddy of the first 3 blue/green eggs to hatch. All have lightly feathered legs & are obviously not silkie mixes, so that means these babies should be olive eggers...plus, 2 are blue & 1 is black...so pretty good indicator a blue roo was involved. My other blue roo is barred & clean legged. None of my feather legged hens lay blue or green, just cream & chocolate. I love when it's so easy to pick out the baby daddy...lol

If only it were that simple to pick out the baby daddy in real life!

Yea, really...lol

Total waste day. Lawn tractor broke down, push mower won't start. After messing with them, tired so I end up just sitting.
People from cl say they want something and will come today, then don't reply. They are really starting to p*** me off. It's like waiting for the cable guy.

I didn't get anything done today thanks to sciatica. My bf keeps wanting me to go to the ER, but he's not here so I'm not going.

So one of our bantam mottled cochins has a pink comb and may have the early beginings of wattles . My wife will not be pleased if we have a cockeral/roo. At nearly 3 weeks tomorrow how likely is it to be able to tell pullet vs cockeral?

So, I can't tell my bantam cochin and my oegb eggs a part. When I saw 6 embryos in the bantam eggs, I just assumed that they were the bantam cochin's because I've NEVER once seen my rooster on top of my oegb hen. The babies hatched, and they're all black, except...

Actually, two are all black with a little brown on their faces, ^that one is red, and the other three are typical little penguin-y mottled or black split bantam cochin chicks.

Have you ever been so tired you fell asleep with your feet in the air?

Played musical chickens yesterday
Combined my 2 pens of layers together
Cleaned the 2 empty coops
Moved a trio of sumatras and my b/b/s orpingtons minus the broody into them
Moved the first of three triangle tractors outside and put bantam Wyandottes there
Converted the 75 year old playhouse into a grow up pen and moved all fully feathered chicks out there
Moved my 5 new runners(not Pekins like DH thought) into the duck pen. What happens happens.

1 triangle slide in production, 1 hoop coop to be built for meaties asap, 1 brooder cleared for meaties, 1 brooder ready for whatever hatches from the school (2 batons going there)
