sad about the pencils but they will get over it. lisa congrats on the bigger coop! that is a nice size run too. i got to meet red today at cal ranch, very nice to meet you red. i swear i have seen you there before but who knows. i nearly walked out with a duck today, they were too cute!
Yeah, it's hard sometimes to just walk away from them. I
almost walked out of IFA yesterday with the sweetest little BA ever - then made myself get the Wyandotte I came for. And it was good to meet you, too! You're taller than I expected, hehe. Seriously, I appreciate the help with the trap.
Aunt hattie, it sounds like you're having a lot of fun with hatching eggs. If you happen to get a picture of your silkie, will you post it here? She sounds cute!
Well, upon making sure everyone was safely in the coop tonight, we found out that Jerry had somehow gotten his head stuck in some chain link and.......he didn't make it. Dead as a doornail. Am I really that bad of a chicken keeper?
Poor little guy. I guess I don't have to worry about the raccoon getting him now, but seriously, enough is enough.
On a better note, though, I got two more of my chicks out to West Valley, and I'm so glad to have them here! Of course, that means more pressure on me to get the run done, but hey, I have my babies where I can see them every day. They're the two pullets I got from Hector, and MAN, are they getting big! Hector, I'll get some pictures uploaded as soon as I can. My computer is in pieces right now while I fix an overheating problem, but once it's back up and running, I'll upload photos of the girls! I'm really excited, too, because I was looking at the Delaware, and her tail is getting wide. I think I read somewhere that it's a preferred trait to have a wide-tailed Delly over a narrow-tailed one. Er....not sure that makes sense, but yes.
Okay, now to go and stalk these fabled pictures of Lisa's coop............
