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.
