I love it!

but not surprised. I said just 12, 12 became 25 and 25 is now 35, 35 is near becoming 40, and 40 is inching to 50. Someone stop me before I make the news too.

I so understand what you are saying!

Each shelf (or row) holds 96. There are 3 rows, but row 3 is currently empty.

Oh KATHYYYYYYYY!!!!!

The lil scamps you sent me are stinkers

So the brooder setup isn't 100% how I want it... reconstruction is imminent once it goes to the basement though...

So I had a few of em up on the top to scamper a bit, and was leaning over into the brooder payin attention to a couple others... well... I think they got jealous

(carport, scuse the mess and pardon the jammies

)

Amy, love that pic of Chief, Maggie and the girls! It is absolutely darling! But, I've got to ask you, I noticed this before-what exactly are they roosting on? It looks like some type of styrofoam? I know that can't be it, because it would be gone in a flash! What is it with chickens and styrofoam??!

So dear, please do tell!! Inquiring minds want to know!

OH! Don't I KNOW it!!!!

That and pink craft faced insulation! These crazy gits will try to eat anything, I swear!

To answer your question, my dear Trish, that is some left over Tyvek like house wrap from building the house. It's a thick, heavy plastic like material. It just makes it easier for me to scrape poo up every morning and keeps splinters out of my babies footsies!

Underneath the plastic is just plain old OSB sheeting, also left over from the house.

Anything else you'd like to know my dear friend??

Kathy, you absolutely floor me! I had no idea you had one of them big cabinet incubators!

Holy Cow girl! 96 eggs per rack???!!

Times 3 racks? That's like...like...oh heck, thats public math and I just won't attempt it!

That's just one heck of a lot of eggs!

But you say that rack #3 is empty? So just how many eggs do you have incubating? I noticed a couple of open slots in the bottom one. Are those just gaps in the sets? Or do those open slots represent eggs that have already hatched? Inquiring minds would love to know! **Wanders off muttering....how in the heck do you even candle 233 eggs at one time?????**

Nicole, may I first say that I compliment you on your choice of night time apparel?

I love it! Wherever did you find camo pattern Jammies?

Second, I love all the Dellies clamoring all over you! Ain't it fun to get a chicken back rub?? So long as their feet are clean!

Love it! Love it! LOVE IT!!

It's trying to snow tonight, but it's just on the warm side of 33 and so it can't make up its mind if it wants to be rain or snow. Rumor has it that it's all going to turn over to rain along about midnight. Before midnight however, we're supposed to get about 2-4 inches of snow. From midnight to morning, we're expected to get as much as an inch plus of rain!

I'll only panic when I see the animals leaving, 2 by 2!
