Another thing to look forward to, after the ducks have been re-homed, is the return of the grass in our chicken yard. I was looking back at photos from the day we brought them home, and I noticed how the grass had been almost completely replaced with mud.

Ha-ha!


1st Day (lush, green, unkempt grass).

A week ago (taken from a different angle)...mud-city.

EXACTLY what happened to my run. lol.
I took the loss and put down hay in the run and just let them out to free range in the evening lol
I rent so I don't want to destroy the whole yard lol

My advice is go and have a great time. Deal with it when you get home. That will definitely keep your hands and mind off of whats going on in the bator. You can remove chicks or yuck eggs when you return. They don't usually hatch at an exact time and sometimes not even on the expected day. They might still be in hatching stages when you return. GO enjoy your husband and children. Lots of chickens in the world but time with our families can not be replaced.

Your advice is awesome!

Plus, it does keep me from messing with them. If it works we'll have to plan a family weekend for every hatch weekend!

We just bought our home last summer, and this is a 400sq/ft fenced-off section of our yard (courtesy of the previous owners...it used to be her dog run). I don't mind the loss of grass, really, but after our ducks are re-homed, I have a feeling our chickens will enjoy grass again (eventually).

My dog pen was green and grassy, then the dogs went back there and it is mud city. I think that a yard that is small suffers more for pets walking,eating, and potting on it then if it were spread out dome more. Let's hope my yard is big enough to support all these chickens, ducks, and geese, lol

Yeah they are in Waller,TX. Haven't heard back from them yet.

That is too far for me to drive for some chickens right now. Plus I need to work on my 2nd coop, and I just got 2 3 day old goslings, I am picking up 5 ducks soon, and next week I am getting a 5 month old BA Roo for my flock. I have way too much in the air to drive that far, leaving my animals alone while I am gone, to pick up pullets.

I can NOT believe I am saying no to EE pullets!

And look what happens when I leave to go to town to take my son to the dentist! My hubby was in the hammock, playing video games under the tree in our front yard. Lol
