You know Janey is already planning on getting a VERY BIG coop when we move to Texas and filling it with lots of baby chicks. That we will hatch from eggs, but not with an incubator, with a Silkie hen. Just when you think they aren't paying attention to you.... turns out they are busy turning into you.

And when that realization hits you right between the eyes ....it makes it all worthwhile doesn't it??

Good morning everyone! The great chickie wait begins again... Ideal re-shipping the replacement order yesterday, myers shipping the sexed polish next week. I hope they make it this time.

OK...... whats your status this morning?

a picture following delivery I think would be a great idea. we all need a "cheep thrill" on this snowy morning.

I know it's not great for the girls, nor for the chicks en route, but I'm looking forward to the blizzard today. It's my birthday and since I was a kid, I've loved having snow on my day. Of course, I wish I could bring all the displaced Sandy families to my house for a roaring fire and homemade soup...

Yesterday was Bobby's birthday, so I was extra nice to him. That means he has to return the favor today.

We had fun counting down the minutes until the birthday switch.

Right now I'm sitting in bed with wrapping paper and glitter and a bunch of presents. Life is good...

Carol, Here are 2 turkens I hatched out about 1 1/2 years back from purchased byc eggs. My silkie broody hatched them and 2 giant cochins out. all were roos but for 1 blue cochin.

These turkens were really HUGE at 4 months old and my friend out in Brooklyn has them. They are such nice birds.

Well the chicks arrived this morning. Another disaster. Most of them dead or near. 13 are just hanging on . I'm going to callIdeal this morning and see if I can wait several weeks and have them redeliver them. They must think I am some sadistic SOB. At the PO. If any of them survive they are going to be called Nemo after the storm.(I think that's what the weather people are calling this blizzard.

Happy Birthday Suzanne. And wish Bobby a very Happy Un- Birthday.

They aren't keeping them warm enough on their trip I guess?......the poor things.

Why they will not let people have them shipped Express overnight mail is beyond me. I'm also in the doghouse 'cause the PO called me at 5:30 and woke up Richard. Just what I need is to be trapped in the house with "grumpy". I won't even be able to go out and talk to the chickens.

Happy Birthday Suzanne! Hope you have a great one!




Sorry to hear about the chicks....one crazy winter. Hope that you have some survivors.



Kind of glad I am in Florida now looking at the size and scope if the storm. Wishing you all good luck and no power outages.
