Cute goat babies! Er... Doelings.

Talk about bad timing joy! Those babies just had to come early!!

Jeremy, if you have hatched 14 kabillion ameracauna eggs then surely you don't have room for more orps and I should get them! Heehee to go with my 14 kabillion faverolles. Ha

14 kabillion is right, I've got so many chicks, I don't know what to do with them all... and get this, literally they are ALL pullets except for 3. This year I actually wanted some cockerels to grow out and choose another breeder from. What luck, huh?

I'm going to have to start culling soon, for the most obvious faults... lots of chicks eat LOTS of food.

I think one of my Blue girls may be going broody!

I took her off the one egg that she was sitting on and put her on the roost with the others, if she's still persistent tomorrow I may give her some eggs...

One of my Joy girls has been broody for a week now. I have been trying to break her, without success. She is so darn big I could put a whole incubator full of eggs under her. Maybe I should reconsider this.......

That's what I'm thinking Kathy.

I've got 14 eggs collected right now, all Blue Wheaten Ameraucana, that I could put under her and still have room for more!
