Hi Maggie, I'm sending you a PM. Tina
Welcome to all newcomers I might have missed!
Last week's visit with both Matt to pick up birds and Jeanette the next day to deliver others was fun.
I've switched up my coop and now have 5 adult silkies, 3 of which are gorgeous girls from lichick. Good grief and the 3 munchkin silkies she brought for my girlfriend here were adorable. I am getting such an urge .......but am behaving myself really. No brooders have gone up.yet....................
The added Cream Legbar has really turned into a treat! Such a curious, friendly and bold little girl at 5 weeks o;ld and already outside living like an adult. She just made herself right at home and hangs out with my broody silkie of all things. She comes running when she sees me and loves sitting like a parrot on my hand or arm.
My broody snow cone now sits on some mighty big eggs . Swedish Flower Hens and a couple of Basque. The more I learn about these breeds it is no wonder they are quick becoming favorites. Like little ninjas they are creeping into new places.I can't wait to see them hatch out. I actually grabbed up 3 eggs yesterday and candled them. It appears all 3 are developing at day 4! I hope the rest are doing as well.
As always it is a lot of fun seeing other list members and making new friends. I don't get to do it very often because I live really far from most everyone on here. It really gives me a lot to look forward to each day. Takes me away from my "real world" of every day cares and concerns, and allows me if even for a short while to escape into a place I really enjoy.
I can especially appreciate you all after this trying, roller coaster of a year. I feel like I am finally clearing the dense and sad fog in my head and finding some joy again. Go figure.....chickens. They for some reason keep coming back to lift me up in one way or another.
Thanks peoples. I can always count on you to raise my spirits.
Warmest wishes to you all............
Maggie
