What did you do today?

[Chicky Tocks]

I've been chickening all day. My two broodies were on 4 eggs and two of them have hatched and fluffed out. This is my first experience with a broody hatch and I've been totally in awe..in between the house and back all day long to check on the babehs and see if the others have hatched out.

Then I tried to introduce my 8 week old cuckoo marans to the 15 week old kids. They've been in a split coop most of their lives and all of the chickens have been able to see each other. Everything was going good until my mean old Duffy cockeral went in and started chasing and pecking them. None of the 9 others were mean to the cuckoos...just Duffy, so I put an ad on Craigslist for him. I hope someone comes and gets him soon or it's chop chop. I threatened to throw him in the pen with the big boy RueRoo and his girls. RueRoo would have shown him who the alpha roo is. Duffy's going to be a mean roo, I can certainly tell that. Nasty little boy he is.

Slept in late, celebrated my DW's Birthday with her family. Read several "Far Side" comic books. Spent some quality father - children time with my 2 awesome kids, went for a bike ride, hung out with my chickens, wrote some new blog posts for the upcoming week and now I'm hanging out on BYC with all my Peeps!

checked the chickens at 630, worked 7-4, came home exahausted (holidays are always crazy) so I fell asleep, skipped dinner with the guys bc I decided I didnt feel well, and now while trying to get motivated to start some packing for vacation I am watching Ice Age 2 with DS. what a fun day. yesterday was the same as today except I worked 7-4, went to a pool party, watched neighbors fireworks display. and went to bed!

... woke up late - still tired from Seattle trip to drop off Son #2 to stay with Son #1 and their dad for the summer... Son #3 and I spent the hottest part of the day on the internet ... swept up Pei Pei's and Bernice's poops from the basement ( cooler inside, spoiled chickens) and "fertilized" the yard with the poops... ate a late lunch/early dinner... sun came back out from thunder clouds, temperature is back in the 100's, so it's back on the internet for me! I MISS SEATTLE WEATHER!

Did some laundry, loaded the dishwasher, vacuumed the carpeting. Picked up the dog toys, am trying to housebreak my puppy. Went to Wally World to buy a new carpet cleaner (because of said puppy), sigh.....

On a good note, ordered 25 Slow Grow Roasters from McMurray. Should have them the week of the 13th. Found out my big chest freezer died, the 20+ cubic ft. are expensive!!
Grilled some hot dogs, yum. Puppy likes hot dogs with mustard LOL.
