I guess I had better hurry up and get my garden beds built, duck run built & start some veg.
Spring has certainly sprung....somebody just need to turn off the rain for a while.

Hasn't rained here in days.

But now, today, is suddenly cloudy, and tonight is WINDY. I can hear doors banging around, plastic flapping, wind chimes clanging, and the trees billowing out there. Crazy stuff.

OK, also wanted to say that hatched already among a stampede of other chicks, appears to be 2 black ameraucanas....and their beard /muff so big and fluffy that the baby may have chore to see.
Beautiful BBS Ameraucana chicks...WA-4HPoultryMom!!!

YEAH!!!! When are you coming up here woman?!?!!?!? Or maybe we can meet down south next week after the 15th? I have to coordinate with Cowgirlgrace to pick up my blue/black BLRW due to hatch on the 15th plus some Barnies!

AND I am soooooo excited ALL over again!!!! One of my bantam cochin pairs I have set up left me a BEEEEE-U-Ti-ful little egg today!!! This one is from my gorgeous blue pullet. And I got another Orp egg today. And I cracked open one of the other Orp eggs and it was most definently fertile! A big ol' donut shaped blastocyst! So we used the first two Orp eggs for eating and I put today's and the cochin egg aside and will start another batch cooking when I have enough eggs saved up. No only if my Lav Am would lay for me! I'm also going to start collecting Olive-Egger eggs too for the next batch for the bator.

Done that before when I did not want a bumper crop to go to waste. It did not feel good, so I bought a dehydrator to deal with the rest of the crop.

sorry, TMI

When I frist moved to WA in '93, I lived in a 1 bedroom, 3rd floor apartment just down the street from that place. Since I would only walk there, I never bought much at a time, yet when I made a pie chart of my spending at the end of the year, I saw I had spent more at Molbaks than I had on all my food; groceries and going out! My tiny balcony was always crammed, and my cat frequently knocked pots from the railing to the patio down below, once nearly hittling the tenant who stepped out for a smoke at 2 a.m.

Did your cat have something against the other tenant?

I once caught my cat trying to leap to the neighbor's 3rd floor balcony, around the privacy wall. Didn't work so well. I caught her by the tail, on the way down.

Russ- BTW, Molbak's is a nice nursery.

Could be! Ivan did not like many people, and he hated smokers! I didn't know anybody in this state when I moved up here. Some friends came up on their bike from California to visit me for a few weeks. They insisted I needed to get a cat before they headed out again, so one day I dropped them off at "Bent Bikes" for some used parts for their motorcycle, I went to PAWS and got a used cat for a companion. Poor Ivan, his cage was marked "mean, bites children, hates men and dogs, does not get along well with other cats" and he was named "Ivan the Terrible"! I thought the poor kitty would get snuffed! It was right when the war crimes trial was going on for Ivan the Terrible. He was stressed out, his fur was really dry and falling out, and he just hugged me when I pulled him out of the cage. The part about him hating men was definately true! He would his and spat, his back arched and all his fur on end whenever a man walked into my apartment (unless the man had long hair). And if he felt someone was getting a little to close to me on the couch, he'd jump on the couch between us and rake his claws on the person! He especially hated men with dark curly hair that smoke. That was bad news for my dad who did not dare turn his back on my cat, but dad loved my cat because he knew no one would be able to get too close to me as long as I had that cat! Ivan was a wonderful cat, but he was not very good for my social life!

Ooops. I kind of accidentally on purpose bid on a Brinsea mini advanced fully digital incubator. We'll see if I get it. I'm currently the highest bidder, but that could change at any time. I'm not sure whether I'm hoping to be outbid or not.
