I missed you all last night. I just got done with reading all your posts! Good grief!

I will put all my tidbit comments here:

#1 I LOVE that incubator. Love Love Love. It's not only huge but a beautiful piece as well.
#2 Happy New Year!!
#3 DG- Are you getting it?
#4 SM- I hope that kidney stone "resolves" itself. And your daughters too. And I hope you got your power back on!!
#5 Julie- Goose eggs?! Awesome!!

About my silkie/cochins: I didn't know that ad was still up on CL, so when that guy emailed me I thought I would let a few go. There was really only one that I truly wanted... but when he got here he thought they were all beautiful and said, "I'll double the price you want if I can take that lemon girl too."... Um... okay. So I let them all go. And if this guy wasn't so flippin excited about getting them I wouldn't have. But I know they will have a great home.

The guy that has taken them has already friended me on Facebook, sent me pics of his coop, and a pic of lemon girl. He will give me some eggs from her when she starts laying. I feel good about it.. really. And like my hubby says, You can hatch more!

And he's right.

He is really great. I've had some kind of poultry in my kitchen for a few months now.. He may "complain" about them, but he really does love them.

I lost one of my big ducks last night. To my dog. It's a long story, but it ends with my daughter not securing the door good enough.

Not a great way to start the year.. but since I always like to make blessings of the bad, I will say, Beaker and Bunsen are getting along beautifully with the one lone big girl who suddenly would like a friend. But still, kinda sad.

I'm getting ready to move him to the brooder. I was SO excited that he got out on his own!!! Man! I finally might have gotten this right.

So sorry to hear about your duck and your dog, but again on a happy note so glad to hear she has accepted the 2 teenagers.

It was a very hard lesson learned for my daughter. But it will be alright. I'm just glad it wasn't a true predator. Like a coon.
