Sure! I missed your call. Trying to fix a leak in one of the water founts Michael hooked up yesterday. I need a hex screwdriver to tighten the clamp.

Mary, I tightened the pond pump hose clamp hex nut with a simple tableware knife blade. It wasn't easy, but I got it done. (There were niches in the nut across the top; I don't know if the one you need to tighten is the same as the one I did.)

Nice video Mary. The beginning with jack and Diane, I kept hearing "feed me Seymour" from little shop of horrors.

Thank goodness, my production red adopted the babies that my Orp refused. I do not need to be dealing with raising chicks right now.

Arrgh. I ordered the 2013 import cream legbar eggs and the shipping was messed up. I was told they would ship on Tuesday this week. In actuality, they had been sitting already in my post office for almost five days when I found out on Monday.I wasn't expecting them last week so I wasn't watching out for them. Eight of 15 are developing and three of those are extremely porous.

I think I need to give up on cream leg bars.

I switched to Blue Egg Layers from the University or Arkansas:

I have 4 pullets and 2 cockerels. One boy is on the perch and one of the splash pullets is on the other side of the wire. The other Blue boy is on the ground with two Crele Penedesencas.



The Blue and Splash pullets in this picture are Blue egg Layers. There are also two Crele Pene pullets.



One of the Blue Egg layers started laying a couple of weeks ago. The little blue egg is it.



They are heat hardy and they hatch well from shipped eggs. I ordered the hatching eggs from BYC member caj1985. Jason has chicks hatched from her flock too.

Mary why doesn't your &^^#^* post office call to say they arrived? Jeepers

They apparently did and I didn't get the message. Like I said, I wasn't expecting them because the seller forgot to send them on Tuesday the week before and then told me she would have to send them the following Tuesday. She apparently didn't remember that she had sent them the day before telling me that!
