Well, my black Muscovy hen started hatching ducklings yesterday, and she left one behind! Terry went out and the poor thing was pipping and by the time he got done milking it was out and very cold, so he brought it in, and I warmed up the bator, it's getting dry now and starting to move around a bit.

Thank God it's cooler today! I can actually see the mountain! Haven't seen it in months!! Gotta trip down to Walla Walla for a weight bearing Xray so Seattle will finally give me a ortho consult!! Yea, I'm not going there, too much to tell and suffice it to say, it's crap!!

anyway, hope it's cooler for everyone,
sorry you didn't go fishing CL wish I could go too!!

How about next time we all 4 go ????
Promise to clean the chipmunk nest out of the big I&O's exhaust port !!!!
We could just start the motor (a V-8) and blow the critters out..................

but I worry about a backfire....like when someone stuffs a tater on yer exhaust !

I am getting so impatient. I got the email saying that the first shipment had shipped and now I just want them here.

I can't wait to see my new babies and my son is so excited as well. In other news my friends chicks are about to hatch so when I went over to clean out the brooder and get everything set up I almost got my legs kicked out from under me by her home flock rooster. Apparently I have "male energy" and he thought I was a threat to the eggs. He's never done that to me before so that's probably what it is. He gets very protective of any broody hen when their clutch is about to hatch. Even if it isn't one of "his girls."

So I guess I need to make sure my energy is calm before I go over there next time. lol.

Gah! The heartache of losing our best friends and neighbors on Sunday is just too much! The kids are crying right now because they don't understand why God moves people in and our of our lives and why He "took" their friends; hard for kids to see the bigger picture and be happy for their family even though we get left behind. Hard on me too. I'm so upset and sad about losing my best friend right down the road and have to try and hold it together for the kids. Sad day. They just moved to Montana on Sunday and the kids really got hit with it today when they wanted to go play and there was nobody to play with anymore.
