I think they had several hours at 75 degrees, but I think they will be ok. Fingers crossed.

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Yea my body is, I can feel my hamstring burning.
As I wrote that I shook the can of worms first. I probably should of said after 2 the hats no longer fit, or something other than juggling balls lol
Window = the quote... right?
4 will get us thru the winter. Our average is about 12.5' +/- and last year in the beginning of November we had a good 2-3' already. I think we were about 15' by the end of the season.

This is what I get for leaving for a while, then trying to catch up. This is what I feel like when I try to make a comment on .. what's up, been said, or posted...if I didn't read the posts before.

And........this is a mule..yes I said it's a mule! Ok, it's a donkey.

I'm Thinking I might Have an EE Pullet that will lay blue/green eggs here.
Anyone think I'm right or am I Mistaken ?

I'm sure when sc moves that much wood, his arms are sore, too, but I don't think juggling balls is his specialty.


And we have pip-off in the bator.  

Back to bed I go. lol

He gets free wood all the time though, so his arms are probably used to it!

Yeah for pip-off! How many locked down??? Keep us posted! And post some pics!

When the eggs start hatching that humidity will rise all by it'self.  Megan, follow these instructions very carefully.  Sit down in a chair.  Bend both elbows to 90 degrees so that your hands are in front of you.  Be sure your palms are facing down.  Now, the next steps are very important!  Lean far to the left.  Bring your right hand, keeping the palm down, out to the side.  Then slide your palm onto the seat you are sitting on.  Tuck it under your right cheek. Now, lean very far to the right. Now, bring your left hand, keeping the palm down, out to the side.  Then slide your palm onto the seat you are sitting on.  Tuck it under your left cheek.  Now, you can sit up straight.  When ever you feel the urge to mess with the eggs, unless you have an Amy worthy reason to be doing so, repeat all of these steps.

This was great!

Well- I really never wanted to deal with a broody and I probably will be pulling my hair out before it's over-but I have to admit a slight excitement to see how it goes. If it doesn't go well, it's not going to be heartbreaking as I wasn't expecting it, though I would hate to have started chicks and disaster strike. So I guess I'm a bit excited but not anticipating much. Not one single of my girls that are almost a year old have gone broody nor the three silkies I took from my sister which I believe are 2-3 years old. My Black Jap Banty is 5 months and she's the one feeling the broody urge....lol. If she hatches it'll be funny to see her with the babies as most are standard. I know one is a spitz egg, so that would be cool if it hatches and is a girl. If she's still on them tomorrow and my spitz lays another egg, I may let her have that one too....lol.

WOOHOO!!!  

Well I'm looking forward to the updates!!

If you're on the internet you can't even believe half of what you see cause it's all photoshopped!! lol  I'm amazed at some of the stuff people believe. Next to Google, snopes is my best friend....lol

Snopes? What is that?

Mine dropped to 74 degrees for several hours today. They were room temp. Thermostat freaked out. It's fixed now. We shall see how it turns out.

Maybe it will just delay the hatch by a few hours. Should be ok.

I love the pellet stove...so far. We've only had it for one season. Hopper holds 3 bags at once. The only thing that I really hate is the daily cleaning. The last place we lived in, a nice little brick house, had fuel oil heat. I had to get a minimum of 100 gallons per delivery which was running about $400 at the time. With the heat set about 70 it lasted about 6 weeks. The pellets are about $250 ish for a ton here which is 40 bags. In the coldest part of winter that ton will last a good month-ish. (And it is warm warm warm!) Plus if I don't have the money to buy a ton, I can get them by the bag unlike fuel where you have to purchase 100 gallons and unless you want to pay an emergency rate you have to wait until delivery day to get it so if it's not scheduled before you are SOL.

Yup I'm oil here. Way expensive and we did run out once last year and had to pay the $50 emergency fee.

Wow.  I have never lived in a cold winter climate and can't imagine it!  I did get tired of living in the two-season area in CA (Beautiful winters, hot smoggy summers).

Here we get a dozen or so small snowfalls per year, maybe a few inches at a time, which usually melts in a day or so. There are actually 4 seasons here, which is great, although I kinda froze when it got to the point I couldn't wear flip flops last winter! (LOL)

Had to get used to the dog's water bowls freezing and bought a heated water base for the chickens. Took me a while to get used to it!

Oh I miss living in FL and wearing flip-flops year round!!!

And swatting mosquitos and other creepy crawlers, and dodging gators?

Yesterday, late afternoon, I let the chickens out to free-range a little. The white cockerel came up and jumped on my lap as usual. I petted him for a little, then went to do some yard work. As I was walking back up the lawn he came at my foot and started biting me!!! Actually just broke the skin! I was so mad at him!! What the heck is this about?? Did he not know it was me (he does have a large head of hair) or was this on purpose? Any insight to this behavior?

First week of school and already have a sick child! He's complaining of pain on each side of his lower back (like the left and right, right around his love-handles)...? And a high fever over night. Could that be kidneys?

Certainly could be kidneys, but not neccessarily; I'd have him checked out.

Sounds like your cockerel had a testosterone attack. Could be he'll continue unless you change his mind for him

Sometimes its hard to juggle that many balls. (LOL)

Never was a big fan of juggling, anyway. Balls are just boring, and as soon as you make one wrong move and let one hit the floor, the game is over.
I would be much more impressed if you were juggling pins

Nope! Ain't going there!

SC!!!???

LOL, Shhhh, he's sleeping. He'll jump through that window in the morning.

Not a doubt in my mind!

As I wrote that I shook the can of worms first. I probably should of said after 2 the hats no longer fit, or something other than juggling balls lol

Is that a dare? You think I can't throw hats through a window? Ask WV

I'm sure when sc moves that much wood, his arms are sore, too,

I've been moving my own wood since I was a little flock. I can do it with my eyes closed now. The only difference from then to now is I started wearing gloves once I turned 40.

Good morning, everyone
