Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[meltel]

wrapping, shopping, cleaning today Had therapy and picked up my serama eggs-no sebbies yet

) took the post office pizza for Christmas for taking good care of my birds and eggs this year. Inlaws tomorrow night and Aunts on xmas. Nice quiet morning for me and hubby-best gift is that I have him home for 3 days!! @WVduckchick bet you're glad to get yours back home too!!! Taking wine and dessert to my aunts and wine and fettuccini alfredo to my inlaws (its bills & his parents favorite and just a small side batch). I usually have something here but me & house aren't in shape enough to host

Hoping they can find whats up with Mini's arm..... Now to really wrap before Bill wakes up

Liz can do all the running for me and Chaos's wet dog cologne is scheduled for on time delivery

But my sweaters I ordered wont be here on time for Xmas so I guess I'll have to wear the old standby outfit...

Could the meaties live with the 4 week olds? I'm of no help in cleaning the dirt.

Guess the meaties would snooker the 4 week olds - they are bigger than the 4 week olds already!

From what I hear about meaties, I would not want those in my house... but I'm not sure...

As for then pen, not much you can do about the possible eggs in the ground, deworming just purges the birds... just try not to ground feed at all or very much... maybe Kathy has some ideas???

the brooder is in a separate building, but still its not god to keep them indoors -Chaos mentioned the same a while back.

Thanks for your feedback both of ya. Think I'll go with putting the meaties in the pen and keeping the 4 week olds in the brooder (its 2*2.5m so not too small) for a couple of weeks more than I planned - i can always double the size of the brooder if I wish

If cleanliness is next to godliness then keeping meaties indoors is definitely not God...

PF - i put it down to very slowly evolving maturity

bbq time in 6 weeks. Book yer flights y'all!

Rav - yeah i have two pens now, but due to circumstances, i could really do with 3 at the moment. I got some 4 week old chicks and these meaties but only one pen - oops

ETA - forgot that i got 5 POL pullets yesterday as well

Ravyn already said it...chicken math strikes again...

. . Not even close! Just paying it forward.
That's a great Christmas gift!

Even paying it forward is noteworthy, so

Good for you and good for me! But if you post that pic again, Ima hurt you!

Hope your eggs get there soon.

Ditto on the meaties. If they're the Cornish hybrids they will eat and poop you outta the house.
