Did I do that? I didn't realize that y'all would have to go through hail for me to get a little bit of rain.

We got more than 1" of rain in about 45 minutes and hail. It was a mess here... Saw the opportunity to blame you so I took it

I got 7 Speckled Sussex and 3 they said were SLW but I think they are GLW... Between those 10, last weekends hatch and this weekends hatch, I have 47 new chickies :) My cousin is going to be here in a week to get his start to chickens out of all of them so that will put a dent in them... Your eggs are due to hatch this next week!

Hope everyone is having a good easter! Got fajitas on the grill here, i like breaking the tradition every once in a while!
HAPPY Easter! I hope every ones day was filled with happiness.

We had fried chicken, potato salad, cold slaw, a BUNCH of fresh veggies, and strawberries. Was very nice to have a bunch of cool food when it was hot at lunch.

Now I am freezing from running around in the rain rounding up chickens and getting them feed. Everyone is in their nice dry coops now.

Hey has anyone tried baked radishes? If you like radishes you will LOVE them baked. If you don't like radishes, you will at least not find them horrible, LOL!!!!! It is a new recipe I just learned, for the little radishes, cut them in quarters, for bigger cut them down to that size. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, pop them in a toaster over (or over) at 400 for about 25 mins. Quick easy, healthy and taste soooooooooooooooo good. I am addicted, I buy 3 bunches every time I go to HEB bake them all up and take them for lunch. They are VERY filling. So stop feeding those almost bad radishes to the chickens and start baking them (Don't tell your girls I said that, don't what a hit put out on me

I had a terrible Easter hatch. I only got 3 out of 28 set. 2 OE and 1 EE that I had to help out of the shell. I'm throwing that incubator away!
 
I love the names yall have for the coop buildings and things in the chicken coops. Eggcelsior and Broken Yoke Salon

that is just great!
:D I'm glad to hear it. It's fun. We have the brooder emptied - all the chicks are now in the Eggcelsior. We are sitting with 25 chick capacity. Really more than we should have given the footprint. However, we'll be having a culling before they are full grown and start having space issues. We still have exterior work to do and the "grown up" roosts to install. But, otherwise, we're looking good. I'm eggcited to be closing in on completion of this one. Mike found a GREAT place in Austin to get wire. The prices are phenomenal. Montopolis - it's at 255 S. Hwy 183 in Austin. Their price sheet is here. We'll be calling tomorrow to place an order for our runs. It's going to save a ton for us to be able to use them rather than Lowe's or Home Depot - and, they are cheaper ($1.26/ft) than CSN ($2.05/ft). They also offer a choice on a lot of their wires where you can go for cheaper (made in China) or spend a little more for American made. Pretty neat selling point.
