My biggest one is a Hopi pale grey right now.

Picture!

Family member already left rehab.

Gotta do a ton of outdoor chores this weekend now that it's no longer 60 billion degrees out with 500% humidity.

Woke this morning to three chicks happily peeping in the incubator with one of our cats sitting on the kitchen countertop watching them through the milk crate I keep over the incubator, and the forth egg pipped. One chick is solid black!

I'm so glad that I went out last night at 10 and rescued them. While an excellent broody, Blackberry proved to be a dumb cluck when it came to babies.

Project this morning is to get the brooder set up so I can move them in as soon as the last one hatches and then get to work cleaning my bantam coop. I get the Egyptian Fayoumi hen tomorrow.

Penny, I wish I could have a couple of dependably broody Silkie hens. Unfortunately, they are the number 1 with a bullet breed when it comes to susceptibility to Marek's disease.

I swear that I would much rather hatch eggs in my Brinsea than under a broody. I'm much more dependable!

Yay for chicks and a new hen! Wishing you great success with them!

Good luck with your "gittin' 'r' done;" if I waited for those conditions, I'd get nothing done before, oh, say, about November. Try not to hurt yourself!
