The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[LocalYokel]

I took a break for a while. It was originally just going to be for 2 days, but that's not what ended up happening. On day 2 of my break I took the brooder out to clean and give the chicks some outside time. It was a fairly nice day and they HATED the dog crate, but they were ok. That is, until 2 of them discovered a way to escape. They hid so well I thought the cats got them. I found one of them on Tuesday. My guess is that it came out of hiding at night and froze to death. I still haven't found the other one and I have zero hope that I will.

At least I'm getting a new bator Saturday.

Hubby's knee has a piece that broke loose inside it last week...the cartilage in the knee is slowly being damaged over time. He's being sent for an MRI and possibly surgery again (3rd time). Worse thing is he always gets pulmonary emboli (blood clots in the lung...twice already.)

they have that under control THIS time. 'Cause I need more chicken coops!!
(Oh...you know I'm just jokin'!!! )

Oh gosh...I couldn't agree more!!

Hey! That's stealing!!

On another note, the jumbo egg i got a couple weeks ago had a massive yolk in it.

My grand daughter cam in from collecting eggs and says "we got a big one".
Upon closer inspection i discover it's a flowerbed stone. She said April Fool !

She's a nut.

I made my own waterer for above the EcoGlow. I have been using it for over a year and would never go back to an open water source. It keeps the brooder so much drier and cleaner. The chicks take to it right away.


X 2 on everything...because you summed it up so nicely!!

(And because I'm so far behind.)
