If i still had my meyer catalog id go through and name off all the yellow chicks. Lol
My BO chicks were a little darker yellow, not so light.

Dont worry, they have a bigger home on its way now lol. They grew faster than I thought they would.

Made my first "flock block" today. Didn't really follow a recipe but they liked it, just used their layer pellets, scratch, applesauce, molasses, greens, garlic, some herbs, and one egg,and oats. They loved it.

Anyone got a good recipe for treats? I can only find feed and mealworms close by.

I literally keep a butter tub in the fridge and just put in all my scraps, mostly stuff my kids throw away in the cafeteria. I fill a bowl up in the morning and one in the evening and put it in the yard. But the scraps include EVERYTHING.

It was their lucky day! Lol
Man...i need to get my oven fixed! Lol. I miss my baking Sundays
Thanks for the info!! Can you believe we dont have any HEBs up here?? Its one of the things i miss the most about the Houston area. Never thought id miss a grocery store. We DO have a Whole Foods here, where we didnt down there. Its a little bit of a drive but not terrible.

Hey I'm not sure where you are in hou, but in katy I have 4 HEBs within a 10 mile radius of my house.

Welcome from McKinney! How do you like your Mille Fluer? I had 3 chicks that didnt make it and Im still kind of kicking myself for not getting them replaced. Maybe next spring..

I made 3 mini loaves. 38 minutes at 350° in my oven. Yummy.
I can't bake that anymore until after the wedding. I have to get in wedding shape. Well at least better than I am now. I tend to gain in the winter. I get most of my exercise in the pool. Ugh I gotta get a dress for the wedding. Something simple and comfortable yet country chic. It is going to be a casual country wedding. Amy found her dress today with her Daddy. Perfect! Just needs altering and the bridal shop says they can fix it just like Amy wants. Yea!!!

My mystery chick. It arrived in the box with Wyandottes from Meyer as a "packing peanut". I know there are a lot of chickens that start off as little yellow fluff balls, but anyone want to take a guess at breed? And, I'm not so cruel as to hold the chick upside down. It appears my phone camera doesn't know the difference in orientation.

Awwwh so sweet. I can't wait until one of my hens go broody.
