HI Everyone,
We still dont have our car back not a happy camper, pretty sure its around Bonney Lake area or was last weekend.

I hurt my back again, no big suprise here. I was to have this next week off on vacation but no they asked me to do a small route so I said yes.

I have 12 cute English Orpington chicks in my downstairs bathroom with I dont know how many more hatching this next weekend. Oh and also some Cream Legbar eggs due to hatch too

from our birds just cant wait to see what I get... I have a list going for them is anyone wants to get on it they can. Oh yes also my BCM will have some hatching then too, and yes got a list for them too... Have to say hubby isnt to happy with me right now cant do a lot of cleaning in the outside area that I keep them in when they get a little older and ya not to happy with me having them downstairs too. Oh well what can ya say...

Im going to try and get on later today and read whats going on, that will be after I finish quilting the baby quilt, its my first one and for my first grandbaby so Im trying to do a good job. I'll take a picture when Im done but you all have to be nice when you tell me all I did wrong...

Have a great day everyone.

ZGoatlady, I am so sorry your back is troubling you- that's the worst- life's too busy to have a bad back! So sorry about the car too. Give me a call when you can, I still want to meet up to get some mite medicine from ya.

Wanted to show you this....remember I have a "sport" Crele Chantecler ????????????
Wellll, he was lonely, so 6 mo ago I gave him a Black Copper hen for company...and hatched this out:







HE IS SO PRETTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE IS PRETTY-ER than his Daddy !
Here is his Daddy:







Notice, Daddy's colora are not near as VIBRANT, as the Marans' son, and Dady has that awful white on his tail AND a light (but barred) breast..........
COOL....so now I have a full blown marans Crele project AND a Chantecler Crele project...and will have scores of eggs I gotta hatch to get just the perfect ones.....................

wow! you better hide that rooster, or I'm gonna come rehome him for ya!!

robJ; I put her over on that side but made the mistake of leaving access to it for the other gals. She wasn't bothered by them, but went to the nestboxes. So tomorrow, she will get moved to the isolation room (LOL) after I clear out all the "stuff".
I'll put lip around the area under the feed shelf and fill it with straw, give her food and water and she what she does.
I'm not to the irritated state yet, after all she's a very young bird and probably a little confused.
She is very docile when I handle her though. At first she growled and tried to bite. I had leather gloves on (always, otherwise I'd lose chunks of flesh if bit) so I just let her get all the biting out of her system while talking to her. She hasn't tried again, so I guess I did something right?

Just found the sweet littlest one fast asleep like this:


Once he's out, he sleeps like a rock!

Looks like a Fabreeze commercial. Cute. Hope he doesn't get rug burn of the face.

Ok peeps I am finally home and (kind of) settled for the night. What s weekend!! Sales weren't too good. I did get to see several of ya. For anybody who came by and heard my near lack of voice..... Well yesterday was good by mid day today. I am able to make squeaks and that's about it. Now I also have a cough and stuffed up nose.

As for the show I had a good time. Except some how ended up coming home with 2 Salmon Fav pullets. Cool thing they are POL and we got a very first egg yesterday at the show and when we got home I found another egg in the crate. I also ended up with 10 chicks following me home. 2 BLRB, 2 ??, 1 CCL, 2 OE, 2 BCM and 1 Am x Orp.

I hope nobody gets this crud from me. It is not looking like this is gonna be fun. There were a couple others at the show who started to come down with similar.

I think they just need some doctoring- antiseptic spray, some antibiotic cream and a scrabled egg/grit/yogurt diet for a couple days? I'll see if I can fix them up. If you have any triple antibiotic ointment at the house, might make them more comfortable until I can get them some TLC. Q: are they on adult feed, chick feed, or medicated feed?

They are on purina medicated start and grow.
