Morning Old Folks, sitting here with my second cup.
We are dry out 41.

Went to bed about 4:30 this morning. Woke up at 7, got my sourdough bread in the oven, and now I’m on my 3rd cup of tea. Sunny and 47 here already.

Good morning!

I sold all my Mille Fleur D'uccles, 6 of them, today. Made a short stop at the dollar store. It is chilly out there, feels like 27° . The goats are not going to want to stay out for long.

Good Morning OF! Coffee is brewed, sun is out, last egg has pipped a day early.
Yesterday was a sad day, had top euthanize one of Turtle Dove's chicks. Spraddle leg started looking and acting more like a slipped tendon and the chick didn't want to move. I did the only sane thing and stopped the pain.
But then the first of the last two eggs pipped a day early and was fully hatched by nightfall. Second of those two eggs as pipped.
@microchick These lil fluff bottoms are King Wheaties kids. The first two came out kind of like gray with white peppering all through the coat. Last one to hatch is Black with a nice big white belly and butt and a few other spots. Can't wait to see the last one to hatch. Then determine who's eggs was who's. He's in with mom, aunts, grandma and sister.

Wish you could double emoji the reaction on your post, @CSolis. Sad for the loss of the chick and happy that the last egg is pipping. Pictures of the new chick will be greatly enjoyed.

Sympathies on having to euthanize the baby with bad legs, I had to do that once with one that had a compound fracture in a leg after the mother got into a fight with another hen that had broken into her brooding area. It's heartbreaking to have to do that. But sometimes it's the only thing you can do.

Morning all. Mug of decaf in front of me. I have myself brainwashed into thinking that it's as good as 'real' coffee.

The problem seems to be slipped tendons with the little guys. It happens when they are hatching. A direct angle in the leg at the ankle gives it away. I can't seem to find an effective way to remedy that.

Decaf is yucky! The chemical process to decaffinate coffee I would suppose would be just as harmful.
