Quiet around here. I'm in Michigan at the moment. 1700 mile drive in 2 days. Death in the family, but it is good to see MI again. My husband is at home learning to run incubators and a hatch over the phone. Poor guy.
Well, DH has gone to the gun maker's fair in PA. So I have a mini-vacation! SO much easier to keep the house clean.
I have to make a lemon-ginger cake with lemon curd filling and lemon mouse buttercream for a friend's mom's EIGHTYith birthday. I'm going to Penzey's to get fresh powdered and crystallized ginger just to make sure they get the full flavor benefit. Oughta knock their socks off! She is paying me with a bag of organic flock raiser! What a deal!
hoppy - DH took the camera or I would post a picture of one of your chicks that must be a cockeral because of size but, otherwise, I don't see any secondary sexual characteristics. Your boys late bloomers? "He" is REAL pretty. He isn't real fluffy butted like the other two, who I believe to be a pullets and are about half his size.
brindle, cute pics, cake sounds yummy, if it's easy, mind sending the recipe?
as far as late bloomers, about 8 weeks, you should be seeing 2ndary signs on the boys, as far as crowing, that's really late. I had one boy that never crowed and he died at 7 months old- dang weasel!! (there was another older rooster around so that may be why)
should I get started on the mail system?? eggs shipped from WA state 2 days to maine. eggs from KY to maine, going on 5 days hmmmm,
lovely heat we've been having will probably be a zero hatch, so much for the cold pack.- grrr
I've started a new webpage called "stained glass rocks!" its about my memorial stones.
