Just dropping in to say Hi! I have not left just been really busy. This evening we are going to pick up a dog kennel we found on Craig's List--my big excitement for the week. We have so many baby chicks right now and I hope to get time to share some pictures soon. We have more Dorkings in the bator along with Faverolles, bantam Wyandottes and some sdw OEGB's--My finger are crossed Joy!! Of course there are a few guinea eggs in there too!

I have not had time to read back through the thread but I did see that you lost some chicks Amy and I am sorry to hear that. I really hate when someone disappears around here and I do not know why. I lost a one eyed guinea hen I had for 3 years and I am really bummed as I do not know what happened to her. She was such a sweetheart. Hope you find out what got your babies!

I sure hope today turns out better than it's starting. Woke up and started getting ready to go tear down an old building so we could use the materials for coops, but everybody who said they would help called this morning and cancelled (Ugg).. Hopefully the day gets better.

Oh my! I know how excited ya'll were last night...How did the day go?

Yeah we were.. We really could use the wood and materials.. We are in desperate need of an additional coop, but we'll make do a little longer. Thankfully when we contacted the woman this morning she was very understanding and is willing to let us start next weekend instead... I'm not going to stress over it cause it only gets me upset and stressing out.. It will work itself out.. After all that was said and done it's been a pretty nice day. We were actually able to salvage the day and get some things accomplished around the house and coops thats been needing to be done during the week.

Thanks for the offer. We greatly appreciate it, but we can't do it on Sundays. The people we are getting the wood from don't like people to work on the Sabbath. We would so take you up on that offer otherwise..
