CYN. An oak fell here too. My hb cut it up and we have some nice firewood from it.
Me and a HORNET of the ENGlish type, think hugh, clashed. My face looks like a wrinkled pancake. Eyes and cheeks all puffed out. It got me just above the temple in my hair Sat. pm. I am more swollen now than then. Oh!!!!!!! did it hurt.!!!!! I have lived and mostly slept from the Benadryl ever since Sat.
18 weeks, Yikes soon it will be egg laying time again. I can barely wait. I just do not see the bright red combs yet though. I am thinking more along the lines of 24 weeks than earlier. My hb keeps asking me why I am not having eggs for bkf anymore. I told him when mine lay I will. Store bought eggs are just not as good. I am spoiled.
Kathy, I want to see those little babies when you finish the hatch. Oh how I wish we all lived closer together than we do. My olive egger is beautifully marked. When I can fully see again maybe some pic. Love you all Gloria Jean

Oh my gosh, Gloria Jean!

That is just awful! Thank goodness for Benadryl. Hope the swelling and pain subside quickly..... well, it is not very quickly, is it! Gosh, that has got to be miserable!

11AM hatching update:
31 have hatched. Only 7 are light. That is 22.5%
I see at least 20 more pips.

Ouchie, GJ!


Ok, here's the $64,000 question for you: how many times do I let Shelby and Maretta fly out of Rex's pen before I stuff their sorry behinds into the covered bantam coop? Shelby just sailed over the fence, yet again, and Suede was out running loose. I happened to be standing right there to collect her before he saw a pretty young thing available to him, but good grief, what if she does this when we're not home? No one else flies out of their pens.

I can certainly relate, Cynthia! My Blue Copper Marans girls from the layers coop are in love with George, I swear. Every day they fly the coop to go be with him, and lay their egg in the project coop. Crazy girls! I also have 2 Easter Eggers that do the same thing.

Seems to me, that once they start that they never stop. They teach the others, as a matter of fact. Good luck! OH, and they do come back home to their own coop to roost each night.

Any more that look Buff Kathy?

20 more pips could mean a lot more yellow, good luck!

8 more hatched ...... 1 yellow.
I think there are 1 or 2 buff.

45 have hatched. 10 are yellow (or light). I think 2 are buff. This one dark one is different though. It has not just a dot on the head (like a barred), but on the back, too. I called "The Trader Show," today to advertise free chicks. 2 people are coming for chicks tomorrow; 20 chicks each. I will be rid of the dark ones quickly.

awww that one is curious Kathy - are you keeping that? I would be curious to see how itturns out

 

[jeremy]

Keep that one Kathy! Keep it!

Well, I wish you were closer and YOU could keep it and let me know!

No, not keeping any of the dark ones. Gotta stick to my plan of keeping only the lights.
