Oh my goodness that's terrible! Those trees caused a lot of damage. The weather is so crazy over there!
Good thing you've got a nice neighbor to help a little. Keeping you in my thoughts!

Congratulations on the babies! They're so oddly adorable :love and congratulations on DH's new job! :woot finding jobs has been a hit/miss for people these days 🙌
Thanks , I have about had it with storms. Heard another tree fall today, sounded like it was down by the river. It was very windy today.
 
Good morning folks :frow


Cappy, so good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the damage this crazy weather has caused. Hope you get power soon. Hang in there...:hugs

Jae congrats on the babies and congrats to DH... It took more than two years for me to find someone willing to hire an old man and give me a chance...

:frow Good morning Debby, have a great day

:frowGood morning Marie, have a great day
Power finally did come back on the 5th day.
We had a very nice sunny day today in the 60s! But very windy....heard a tree fall.
 
Hi everyone! I'm very behind. I forgot how time consuming these cockatiel babies are. I've had another hatch (there were some live eggs still in the nest which would've died so I put them in the incubator - I just can't let the poor little things die if I can help it even though I'm making more work for myself 🤪) and I've just today had to bring in the oldest one as someone had plucked it. :mad: It's one I want to keep for the mutations it's carrying so I was hoping the parents could just raise it instead of me having to. Best laid plans and all that!

I was going to just remove all the nestboxes and separate whichever pair I wanted to breed into a little aviary DH has finally made me, but in another nestbox there are a pile of eggs. I'll have to try and work out which pair is using that box and maybe try transferring them and their chosen nestbox.

At this rate I'll be hatching cockatiel chicks for the Easter Hatch-a-long. :gig

I have also sold my 6 oldest cockatiel babies (one is subject to a DNA test to make sure it's a boy). So that's been busy too. I sold 5 in the space of 3 days!

And we are buying a ram for our ewe lambs so picking him up on Friday. He's an older boy who will eat from your hand apparently. He's a Damara ram so we should get some colourful lambs from him, and he will shed his own wool so they are easy care sheep.

How are all the awful storms over there? There's been some crazy weather.

Here are my 3 youngest charges (there's still a live egg in the incubator getting close to hatching):
