Oh my goodness @kurby. Just too funny (mommy help) crack me up! Congrats on the
l o v e l y chicken. She is a looker for sure, I hope her sneezes and rumbles clear up quick and all is good and well for a very long time. I love that you took her in. ♡ AND congrats on the pretty new layer!

@GoatsandGuineas terrific new layers! Most exciting getting those colors. I am shoked at your Temps...:eek: just shocked.

I've got at least 3 new layers the last week plus. The latest-latest is a little buff girl so her sister will be next. I have gone from 2-3 eggs to 10 a day almost over night lol. My 3.5yo Ameraucana has been laying 4 eggs a week for well over a month now and I even caught my 4 yo in the nest box 2x's this week. Just madness.

So, fired up the ol bator. I put it in my closet because I have to work on the back deck the next few weeks- long put off chore. Hope I don't regret it, it is not a big closet lol. I am sure I smell like chicken no mater what anyways.

I have been pondering getting a second incubator (360) for sometime now but my friend is selling his awesome 6 tray (x48) cabinet incubator. DH is definitely frowning upon it but I may go against his wishes and just pick it up. I think I need it and it will be worth the Hu Hu we will have over it.
K. Better get after my day. Happy Aloha Monday all!!

Thanks. Normally it isn't this cold early and it's dry. But the cold hit early and more moisture than normal. So between that, my birds staying inside, and above freezing... it was a recipe for those nasty critters.

Yeah, I had the perfect storm of crap back in November after numerous rain events...they got an Upper Respiratory, Impacted Crops, and Fowl Pox...all at once!! Was awful! Nasty critters is right!

Also, I love your retirement plan!! I have similar goals, they just also include goats and mini cows :D

Sorry for your loss. It is no fun loosing animals.

Hey, I know what you mean. I am in Real Estate.. so when I come across a nice property I can't help but day dream.

Oh man, that would be SO hard haha. I would want all the properties haha. I have been looking at the big coops too, from Cutest Coops...and barn designs for the goats haha. It's way more fun than working :D

Have you seen those Carolina chicken coops? Those are pretty darn cool.

Yes!! They have some AMAZING coops! Choosing the best one will be so hard! I also like the idea of using part of a barn as a coop...which could be super handy, especially if they shared a pasture! But I also really want one of those awesome coops that look pretty :D Such is my life...the practical clashes often with the completely impractical!

Haha, you can have practical that looks pretty. As long as chickens do not have a chandelier in their coop.. think most designs are practical:lau
