Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Morning Dutch, sadly no, hubby is still very bad off. Walking is a chore, and we have a battle ahead of us. He is far too young for this crap to be happening.

Continued prayers from my family.

Celtic if my birds are half as beautiful as yours, I will be well satisfied.

Ya'll keep me laughing on here, the more you insult each other the happier you all seem to be. It makes me feel right at home.

Beatrice had an awesome night, I let her graze for about 20 minutes when I got home yesterday on some very fine grass, then she ran everyone else out the pool and had it to herself for about 30 minutes. She got out of the pool and began preening in the late afternoon sunlight. She did a few wing flaps. I cleaned her living accomodations and put her up. She took a dim view of that. I fed her some well watered down feed and refreshed her water bowl. Then I took care of the rest of the critters. When I checked on her before bed, she had normal, fresh green grass poop in several places in her enclosure. Hallelujah! She had eaten some of her food. She was "talking" to me non stop. I also discovered in one poop spot a brown, rubbery, piece of either paper or bedding. I couldn't tell which. I even retreived it and washed it off. Don't laugh! Its not that funny! I couldn't tell for sure what it was but it looked kinda like a big corn flake. I decided not to do any taste test! I went to bed and slept like a baby for the first time since this started. This morning she had finished her food up and was begging to get out. Appropriate poop was much in evidence!!! I of course, had to come to work. I am so happy that she made it. This afternoon, I am going to let her stay out longer and put her up one more night and tomorrow I will try to put her back with her flock. She is one tough little cookie! She is smaller now than they are and her skin is hanging very loosely but I bet she catches right up. She is still telling them that she is the BOSS! If ya'll want me to I'll try to type up a summary of this event and how I treated her (with appropriate credit to all my BYC friends who gave me such sound advice along the way) so we will have it for reference somewhere in case someone else needs it. It may not be neccesary but you never know.

Thanks again everyone for your support, especially you Janet! You were always just a phone call away!!!

Good news. Fingers crossed for continued improvement!

Oh and I forgot for GQ:

Pics of my Holderreads order that came a couple days ago.

Silkies, Cayuga (they sent 2 extras so that makes 5!), and 1 Appleyard to add to my trio. I ended up getting 3 Blue fawn, 2 grey, and 1 snowy silkie.







You can see my one chicken that hatched in the background. Who now thinks he's a duck.

Uh-oh. I feel silkie duck envy coming on. So stinkin' cute!

Hey...I hit my 4yr anniversary as a member of BYC!

Congrats Dutch!

DG just for you, our Lilac Ice American Goose (right)

Tempura battered deep fried bacon (2 slices) over a grilled summer corn salad, with a chipotle mayo sauce and a slice of lime to squeeze over the top.

Been quiet lately. Most everyone must be done hatching for the season. I'll be done next month sometime. That incubator seems to magically fill up again.

Hi GQ!

Hey QJ, I'm like you, still hatching eggs. In fact, I'll be putting more in soon. I might have to think about selling some birds soon!
