Don't know that was the problem. I thought they were due a week ago. And the broody quit so I candled and noticed that all the chicks were still alive. So I have them in an incubator with a 40 watt light that gets a consistant temp of a little over 100. No fan. and I can't get the humidity up very high so I guess I am Dry Incubating.

So far its just the one making noise. They are sitting on a wet wash cloth and have sponges surrounding them and a jar of water.

That will only work if it stops raining. He loves to go out and stomp in the puddles, then he comes running back into the house with feet that are wet enough to mop the floors with. It wouldn't be so bad if the puddles he was stomping were clean puddles. He also loves to shake hands, and he doesn't mind resting his great big sopping wet foot on my behind either.

He is a big brat dog. He also will forget to close his mouth completely when he is done getting a drink of water. He will get a drink and then leave a trail of water behind him. Or if he thinks he can get away way with it he will come over to me, and will dry his face on me. I can tell he knows exactly what he is doing. He will look at me with a certain type of look, and I just know he is going to try to do something naughty.

It's a good thing that I had a clue as to what I was getting into with the big beastie.

I will help out here, given that Z, and I live in the same town. This of course will assume that I can get everything in my station wagon. It's a good thing that I can stuff an amazing amount of stuff in a relatively small space.

HA! You oughta see my cabin if ya wanna see a bunch of stuff mashed into a small space !!!!!!!!!

Well, I will try and get on later. Got 2 orps to wash. If the weather holds out I will be ther tomorrow night. (monroe). Is anyone else going to coop tomorrow night? I need to go and read all the details again.

Does anyone have leg bands? Anna Ballard told me I could buy some there if I need to. I just dont' have any idea what it is I am doing. LOl. So confusing, but I am so excited.

Weather was pretty nasty today and Snoqualmie was closed for avalanche control. I will be coming over Stevens....but they were suppose to get some 7 inches of snow today. So here is hoping I make it over tomorrow.

Can someone PM regarding bands if you have any or are more knowlegable than me (which you all are). Thank you.

I have brass bands, have to be put on adult birds with a crimping tool.
You are welcome to use but I get there Sat morning.

Sounds to me like you both were meant foreach other & know exactly what the other is thinking. LOVE
