Cyn,
Best wishes for Charlotte. Hope she gets better or goes quickly, for your sake.

I met up with Jenn (revolutionmama) today. We live about 125 miles apart, so we met half way and made some trades. I have other Sussex birds from her, and I just adore them. Today I got Buff Sussex and Red Sussex. I can hardly wait to see them grown. She also gave me a care package; a cool bag totally filled with great stuff. She is a sweetheart, that girl! Wish you all could meet her. She and ChooksChick live near each other, and they just have tons of fun chicken projects in the works. Lucky girls! I envy them living so near each other and being able to rely on each other. What fun!

Beautiful day today, around 75*. Tomorrow is to be above 80 but windy, and I hope to get some outside work done. The grow-outs are, well, growing! and I see some Dels that I think are looking pretty good. My New Years Day hatch chicks are really looking great, too! I absolutely love the BCMs I hatched from Luanne's eggs. They are not only gorgeous, they are also very sweet and friendly. The 4 Cochin girls I hatched are sure getting fluffy. Boy, did I get lucky or what (getting all 4 female!) ! ! !

My brooders are full, but they empty out pretty regularly. This last hatch was done on a Friday, so I could not ship out. That was so stupid of me to set them at that time. I am back on schedule now. I was looking at my pen of little Easter Egger pullets, and see some really cute colors beginning to appear. Our oldest girls here are our 2 Easter Eggers. Today they were up at the house checking out the new baby. This is the first time we had Kayson outside, and the girls were very curious. Mike was holding Kayson and I swear those EE girls were jealous. They wanted lap time, and that baby was in their way!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Cyn, I am just so sorry. That is horrible. Give her a hug for me.

Look how big my Del grow-outs are! They are 9 weeks old now. This was taken yesterday. I got 400 pics at the minimum!

I am driving to the beach, and will be home the day I have to set eggs! I will be stressed this whole time.

You guys should be expecting a lot of pictures from Florida!

No, the boots are staying right in the closet... I refuse to take them out again. I was gong to work on a brooder box but it looks like I will start on my spring cleaning instead.

Char may be gone by morning. She wouldn't even eat strawberry or papaya I offered her. She is so weak and shaky. We did put her out for a sunbath, but that didn't seem to help. I'm clueless to help her and I know that Tom won't want to open her up to see if we can find the cause. At least, I know it isn't something contagious. She has no symptoms at all other than just acting like she's waiting to die.


On a brighter note...and I do mean brighter, check out this coop paint:
