If anyone is interested in getting into fawn silver duckwing, I will send you a pair for the cost of the box and shipping.

Sooooooo tempting! But I've got a ton of birds line up for Saturday...

It's baby day! So my chicken math has reached full blown insanity. I went to only get whatever female Oegb they had which turned out to be 3 of a mere 5 chicks. And you can't just buy 3 babies... so I got another rainbow of 13. Sebrights, frizzles, Cochins, japs... and one black silkie...

After yesterday's roo rehoming I'm at a head count of 26. And I'm brooding outdoors with the big kids to boot.


I think I've officially lost my mind.

Only 26? C'mon girl, get back there and get some more.

Don't tempt me... my husband will have me committed! And I almost rescued a Cochin with very badly splayed leg too, but it didn't look like it had much fight in it.

--And completely off topic, how large of an umbilical scab should I be concerned about. Just found one on a buff jap I snatched up, a bit smaller than a pencil eraser tip. It's pink and dry, but I worry about infection.

That sounds fine. If you're worried, you can put some Neosporin without pain reliever on it.

Thank you, I'll check it again tonight. I'd seen tiny ones that looked like little poo flecks, just none this size on such a small baby.

Pink and dry is good.... Just keep an eye on it.
It is a bit concerning, eh?
