ooh the tolbunt is finally zipping.... The ameraucanas are resting quietly 4 out and 1 pipped. the other 4 eggs show no signs of life yet.
took pix of the older Tolbunt and the lavender amer.s and the orps that are 3 weeks old. they played outside most of the day today without complaint that it was too cold. It was fun to sit on the porch swing and watch them scratch and squabble.
congrats on the turkeys hatching. I would like a couple of those but my man sez NO! I think he thinks they're louder than our bc maran roo. I doubt it when he wakes me up at 5am.
La Sombra, I'm sorry for your loss. I know it's not the same but if you're close to me, I have two four month old french blue marans that might suit you. They aren't copper but are just at the same stage as your baby. I experienced this year how hard it is to lose your favorite one.
tomorrow we'll spend the day constructing chainlink dog pens to enclose the hives in. too bad I didn't put them closer together. I'm not a happy camper about this darned bear probably in part because since I got stung just at the top of my throat under my chin, I look like I have gained a HUGE double chin which is also hot and itchy. grrrr.
