Great Baby Belly Photo!

You have passed the most critical weeks, you are in the home stratch and will spend most of it in search of better air-conditioning. (Or you could just hop over to the wet side of the state).

I know--I told DH yesterday that it was about time to invest in another "window shaker" A/C unit for our livingroom.

I see no resemblence between our wonderful RFF and a bowling pin on feet (or as T HI would say wine bottle)

Thanks!!! I am feeling more like a 12wk old Cornish!

Looking great, Heather. I can only hope to look that good in 10weeks!

Most of my pre-PG jeans don't fit- I must be wearing my pregnancy low?? Don't know as this is my first too. *shrug* is that supposed to mean something? Boy vs girl (hoping for a girl)

So... found that some of the girls have ?mites? Near their bottoms. What should I use to treat? Never dewormed them before.

I got baby chicks from the BCM eggs that CGG gave me! WooHoo! Broody hen, who has been sitting on in that nest box for nearly 3 months now finally has some babies!!!
Today is day 20 on these eggs. (a month on plastic easter eggs and another 3 weeks on infertile eggs before she got these). I was not expecting it today! I went out there at 5:30 to open the pop doors and thought she seemed a little different when I gave her some water (spoiled hen, I hold the bottle for her). I thought maybe the BCM from Z-goat had snuck another egg under her so I felt under and found a fluffy chick and a cracking egg! went out again at 10 and there are now 2 chicks! Not sure of the other 2, I did not take a look. The mean broody is a nice mom. one of the chicks was snuggled up beside her and she let me pick it up, no fuss! She watched intently and then gently pushed the chick back under her.

I need to move them, but how? They are in a high-up nest box. I tried moving the nest to a pen a few times but each time the hen became so upset, violenlty flapping her wings in the cage. I thought she would be injured! They can't stay where they are, it is too high, and no way to contain the babies and keep them safe from the other hens. Any suggestions? Do I need to wait until the others hatch? Should I put something up to block the nest box until then?

LOL I am actually still able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans...I've not gained any weight anywhere other than my belly.

Which is now about 15lbs of total weight gain.

That's fantastic - and as hard as you work, you're not going to have any trouble getting baby weight off afterwards. You look radiant and beautiful, just as you should. And BTW, that's a very glamorous top for a pregnant lady - it's not maternity wear is it? Thank you for posting a pic of your progress - you look GREAT.
