Morning everyone!

Hello and welcome to all the new peeps!!! Hope I didn't miss too much, been a bit busy lately.

For those who understand my sense of humor, this TOTALLY had me spilling my coffee! I am SO doing this if I get the chance!!!

These are my two little sole survivors of the spring shipping fiasco, Cajun Spice and Brown Sugar, now 17 weeks.
I took these pics while they were getting into mischief in the herb garden. It's funny to watch them. They are literally
completely inseparable. They even walk side by side touching wings most of the time. Lord forbid they get distracted and
lose track of each other, total panic ensues!!! I have never seen two birds so totally bonded.

@penny1960
Dunno either... After all this time I alternate between "ah whatever" and peeking in all of the slow ones.

Check out Sally's assisted hatch article.....I kinda think that slow one needs some help. It has been trying for long enough that I would step in.... But then I pop the tops to check on slow ones.... I have issues....

Read the article, then you can decide.
