Here are some better photos because we actually got a bit of sunshine in the afternoon, though it was still windy and very cold.

This one is so cute.

There is a 7th but it is still drying off. I had to put it in the brooder because it was yelling its head off in the incubator and making the ones in the brooder yell too. It looks like it will be a partridge coloured one. The original birchen eggs I bought were at the project stage, so there's still odd colours that pops up (plus I've crossed them to my BBR rooster to try and get gold birchens).

There's another egg pipped in the incubator and a few eggs to go after that.

Hope you've all had a good nights sleep. I'll be off to bed soon. Our daughter will be 14 tomorrow which I can't believe.

Such cute chicks, thank you for sharing the pictures Jae!

And a happy early birthday to your daughter

I had hubby go to the neighbors to get some tomatoes. I went down to the garden to pick my 2 ripe ones and both were rotten on the bottom.My cherry tomatoes don’t ripen very fast.
Do you ever can tomatoes? I know you did them in pots this year.

Good morning all.

Good morning DMC

I've never canned tomatoes but I'm pretty sure @rjohns39 and @Grammy60 have.

Thank you Mad, we had a great weekend with the boys. June is the kitten's name. She is fitting in with the petpets pretty well. She is still a little wary of the dogs, but she no longer runs from them.

She put them on a roost for the first time last night. It was quite a ruckus; she wanted them to have the entire roost, not just one bar. The other hens were not interested in giving over their space. She finally gave in and let her family roost with the dark brahma girls.

Congratulations Jae! They are beautiful. I hope you are blessed with a good ratio of pullets to cockrels!

Good morning Sue, Deb, DMC, Mad, Jae, Ron, Sour, Mark, and Bob! I hope I didn't miss anyone.
I opened the back door earlier to let the cat in, it feels like a steam shower. We had the most beautiful weekend, with 80s temperatures, but we are back under a heat advisory now, until Tuesday. Temps high 90s and high humidity.
The chickens are handling it pretty well so far. The hubby is too. He is working on clearing an area, for a wading pond.
You all have a wonderful day!

Morning Janie, glad you had a pretty weekend!

Good morning peeps. I saw baby pictures and couldn't help but to drop some of my own in.
Fabio and Astrid. Fabio is the senior rooster of the flock.

Little Napoleon was also permitted to come in and feed the chicks with their mother.
