Now I'm just waiting for my 2 younger Ameraucas to start. I think they hatched mid-May, so could be fairly soon. Or next spring.

Beautiful day today high 70. And now they are calling for snow on the weekend...huh? Today all the dogs got three eggs in their dinner, did the bob test and a couple were iffy, so that pack was getting too old. Depending on what I'm cooking, I seem to always go for the fresh ones first for breakfast, cooking takes the older ones...close to expiration date gets the bob test and dog food.
 
it was beautiful today here too, til just before dusk, the fog rolled in, the temp dropped about 12 degrees in a matter of minutes and is still dropping, we're gonna get slammed next week with Sandy unless something sends it off course... predicting 10 inches of rain in a 3 day period and snow. I need a replacement sump pump for one of the basement corners, it blew out last year with hurricane Irene... and I never did get another... I still have one at the front of the house, but I need to get the one from the back replaced tomorrow... never ends does it...?

I had about 15-20 minutes of daylight left when I got home to spend with the chickens... I felt so bad that it was so nasty out when it had been so lovely earlier and even tho' they were in the enclosure, they weren't out in the grass...

Girls gave me 3 today, another double yolker that tipped the scale, I'll have to get my digital jeweler scale to get the actual grams, the little chicken scale doesn't go that high, lol! no eggs from the EE's today. I did take a picture of the jumbo egg, but i haven't downloaded the camera yet...

Anybody going to be affected by the impending hurricane? Hope everyone is far enough inland to be safe. Don't want any flying chickens!

I am so not looking forward to what Sandy brings, last Halloween we had snow and lost power for three days. Many of my neighbors lost entire floors of their home, cars, businesses. It took over a year to get our post office reopened, many places just shut down and never came back. I have family in Jamaica, they got hit hard, everyone is okay, but they lost a lot of trees/windows/power etc.

I am wondering what to do with the chicks if we loose power/heat. I am thinking hot water bottles.

Well hopefully something changes and we don't get too much rain. Best Wishes to all in being prepared and ready. Got to buy some batteries.
 
hi Sallysec, I signed... my mom was born and raised in Nutley, NJ... it's hard to imagine living somewhere that you can't have a couple of chickens... I may not be fond of Middleburgh... but the county as a whole (Schoharie county) is nice and it is a right to farm county. I love that.
