Ouch! That looks pretty though

we lucked out and only had about an inch stick..it was 50 here yesterday.It's already melting but on the way to the PO to pick up my chicks

there were several bands where there was around 3" on the ground.
Did I mention chicks

waited 4 months for these but they are here..beautiful lavender fluff and some black fluff and red fluff and buff fluff stripey chipmunk fluff so much fluff

I'm hatching some as well all is back to normal.A week without baby fluff just felt wrong..but now I have another break to get through.

Let's see some "pitchers," Miss Holly! Mmmmmm, fuzzies . . .

Oh, and if you're out and about with the camera, why don't you take some shots of your Cornish for me. I don't know what it is about them, I just love your Cornish! Guess I have a strange attachment to prehistoric-looking critters. (and if you knew the men I have been fond of over the years, this would certainly apply, LOL!)

Prehistoric

I'm rather fond of those men as well..my chickens though they are interesting at least.The chicks look more like a chicken but they are half RIR
I need to get my GF again so I can upload more pics...gosh they don't give you anything much free here

I'll get some of those dinosaurs soon..have Girl Scouts tonight so got to feed early..I'll have cookies soon and I know everyone loves GS cookies
Met up with Okla this morning..He now has 3 beautiful Black/Blue Ameraucana and a trio(hopefully) of Jen's bantam Ameraucana as well as 3 that feathered in with a bit of color
Then did anyone see the $30 incubator with turner on CL? I did and it wasn't far from my house

it's an LG without a fan but I know how to install them-you hand the top of the bator and the fan to the hubby

really needed the turner but having a 6th bator may be handy!!
Here is a baby Lavender Orpington..more pics tomorrow hopefully. I hatched a few EE and a FBCM a rock or two and a tiny little Cochin

Ahhh, that picture is adorable!

Thanks for the fuzzy fix.


Hope everyone is finally nice and melted after yesterday. It's so nice and mild here this morning - - feels like spring. Even some of the little song birds are out this morning chirping away. I keep trying to warn them about nasty February, but they never listen.

One of my nice retired neighbors stopped by yesterday to chat, and he does a huge garden every year on some farmland not too far away. Every time I talk to him I get all jacked up about spring planting. I'm ready!!!!! Let's plant!!!!

*sigh*

Oh well. He also kindly brought a nice bag of home made pork sausage, so I guess I'll have that with some home-grown eggs while I wait for spring.

I found a nice summery picture to post for your coffee enjoyment this morning. This was July 2009, and my mixed assembly of bantam chicks was enjoying the cool shade of my herb garden - -

July 2009 bantam chicks


Hope you all enjoy the (nicer) weather this weekend! It's a good time to at least prep your gardens so when spring comes you'll be all ready.

Oh man won't it be nice to see that green grass again,even if we have to mow it!lol
Got my Ameracunas all settled in .They are so nice. Thanks again Holly!
