UPSTATE NY chickenstock OCT 3rd Sunday!! -The aftermath and hatching

[mame1616]

Some pics - Thanks again to Nat for the party and hosting - and my FABULOUS blue and splash orp girls! Thanks to Gretchen for my AMAZING Fav couple and BLR pullet, and Renae for the ADORABLE little white whatever-she-is. Not regretting my moment of weakness with her. Thanks to Jeremy and Don for their advise with the processing - yucky and fascinating at the same time.

OK, so Arwen was soooo happy with her new MF hen and he baby Porcelains yesterday. She carried the hen around for quite a while.

Nat, I think the one OE baby is a roo. He runs and pecks the crap out of your hand when you stick it in the brooder!

I left the porcelains run around the shop yesterday because I was just too tired to chase them and when I took the kids back after school, the little buggers had jumped back in the brooder. They are now in a covered brooder.

My chicken sitter flaked for the weekend

but my wonderful son took care of ALL the birds (all like 50 of them), collected eggs, fed and watered, without even being asked or told to.

So, he got the pay that my chicken sitter was supposed to get.

That sucks that your bator is being wonky, Nat. Oh, did Bob come back this morning?


Chickenstalker- I have 6 MF d'Uccle eggs already, should have a full dozen by Thursday. Do you want them? If so, just cover shipping and I will get them to you.

Glad Arwen loves them, they are perfect holding size too!
Yeah they are active! They did the same thing to me, hopped in and out of the brooder as they pleased.

I cant believe your sitter flaked! Thank goodness for children brought up right! Gold Star for that boy!
You guys getting all this rain too?

Yeah, the sitter flaking really peeved me off! He was the one who came down and asked if he could take care of them to make extra money and then didn't show! WTH???? Thank goodness my kids both love the chickens and love to help take care of them.

Yes, we are getting rain, too. What is up with this? I am soooo sick of it. My yard is a swamp and my chickens are getting peeved because they can't get out to free range.

We are soooo lucky to have a sitter who's great. Most people don't want to watch this many dogs, cats, chickens, and so on..
