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. 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.

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):

The Storms were terrible!

Luckily we were out of them here.

Enjoy the new babies!

We have a wind alert today.

We had a high wind warning in effect Monday with gusts up to 75mph. Parts of I80 were closed due to the crazy wind. Glad that's over with, it was freaking my cats out!

Our gusts will not be that high!

Did the wind cause the branch to fall? That's too bad about the woman losing her life.

The arborist was not sure if the wind caused the branch to fall or if it was poor trimming of trees. It was windy yesterday too though.

The City is behind on inspecting trees. This was a 100 pound branch 40-50 feet up in the tree.
