The Old Folks Home

4 new babies and the last one is zipping. Mom made a giant poopy and shuffled everybody away from it so I could clean up. Got her to move back into the nest and stole a quick look at the last egg.Hopefully baby will be out shortly. They are so darned tiny and cute. This hen is sitting on eggs laid by my two BBR hens and sired by my crosses.

I'm so looking forward to getting fertile eggs from my SWD girls and boys!

Good luck!

Last baby is out of the shell and the first ones to hatch this morning are out running around!

Betty Boop is a sweet little hen and is dedicated to her babies. She did let me pick one of them up with only minimal fussing.

These bantam crosses that I got from the Amish neighbor have been great chickens to have around. Big personalities in small birds. I just took out a pile of bones from a rabbit I'd had in the freezer since last year and cooked off for the dogs out to the chickens to finish off. Our Australian Cattle Dog with degenerative myelopathy continues to decline and isn't eating as he should which is hard to watch in a dog that has never met a meal he didn't love. I have been mixing scrap meat and canned dog food with his kibble to entice him into eating more. He really isn't falling for it but did make a dent in his dinner tonight.

There is just something so wrong on so many levels yet something so funny about seeing a 2.5 pound hen galloping about with a meat denuded rabbit leg in its beak and a string of eager comrades following her in hot pursuit.

Pictures of the new babies tomorrow!

Folks, there's actually good news happening. Dollar general has renewed its lease and is now under new management. The scuttlebutt is the C.O.O. came out for a regional visit.... and fixed what was wrong with the store. It's now clean and properly stocked. I got to talk with the new manager and she said sales are already up almost 30%. And there is more news.

It seems we have 3 other businesses may be opening soon. Just like in nature, the business world abhors a vacuum......
