Yay! glad to hear he is home!

Thank you! Me too!
Grandkids came out yesterday. While I was out with the boys, they helped me with the chickens, My daughter and the bigger girls were doing laundry, vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom. The little girls were amusing hubby.
So much stress was relieved having that help. I didn't do anything but rush through feeding the animals and I only came home and did that every other day, I filled them up. Wasted food but I didn't want them hungry. I even had chicks hatch and they all survived.

Glad your family is close and able to help out a little, then you can concentrate on the things that matter

Received my stuff from anderson (so cute) and eggs from sonew,which made it here in perfect condition. They are beautiful! Thanks

Ray_n_Debi - glad your husband is home. Sending prayers for quick recovery.

Update on eggs in incubator - took the advice offered and once the power came on left them to warm back up. We were without power for about 22 hours and it was mighty cold in the house. Anyway, I gathered my courage this morning and candled them - OMG! Almost everyone is moving and alive! 3 are pipped internally even! I have them in my bedroom with a space heater running to warm the room and they are now on lock down. I am stunned and overjoyed that some of the babies will survive. I sent my only baby brooder with the 2 wk chicks, so have to quickly construct something today. Things are looking up. Roof is replaced on shop, hubby just got home with new garage door for it. Still much to clean up and it's snowing this morning LOL but it is working out.

Thank you all so much for the well wishes. Our friends and family are being a huge help also, each day things just improve.

I'll have to come visit! We love to travel. Thank goodness for chicken sitters. There is always a day I take off shopping and stuff while my husband judges the antiques from 1940-1965. That will be a nice visit.

You are evil showing pictures of green grass. It is just a muddy mess here with snow in the forecast today.

Pauletta, when you go to Davenport, you will be 1 1/2 hours from me.

Oh my goodness, lovely chicken and wonderful grass! Mine is green but not that thick. My chickens would love it.

These are the chicks that were hatched Jan. 5. The two silkies are from cuntryuppiechick. The dark one with the red streaks is her mystery egg, believed to be a sex link/silky cross. The top part is regular feathers but past the wings is all silkie fluff. I assume it's a he. It's a shame too because it's such a beautiful bird. The barred is from my sex link roo over a btw jap.



Here's a better shot of Alvin. Cool, huh?
