Oh my, that poor Borg chicken!

anyone want some chicken for dinner, it's be fresh! Stupid extra buff orphington roosters are about to meet the mean end of a boom stick. Took em out of the coop since there are only 3 hens and there were 6 stinkin roos. One is already in a pen since he is a flogger, he is already on death row. The other 4 in the yard are a pain in the you know what. Three of em are running my poor bantys to death half the time. They are quicker than them big ole dumb BOs though, and the other thinks he is a stinkin duck! He moved into the duck pen and roosts next to it. Then in the mornings he eats with them and then he tries chasing down the girls to have some fun, till my pekin drake runs after him

Stupid chickens! I see a WHOLE lot of chicken and dumplings in my future.

I know that there are lots of you that need rain - wish I could send you some of the 4" that we got last night (in about 6 hours). Our ground is already saturated and my poor chickens may as well be pigs. The rain was accompanied by constant lightning and thunder. The only chickens (not chicks) I've lost have been to lightning and thunder storms. They must get really frightened and fly into something they shouldn't

Luckily, because they were already roosting before the storms hit, no one got hurt. It sure has been a crazy weather summer. Rainy still today - makes it a good day to make jams/jellies

About extra roosters - my poor daughter. Every time she picks and names a chick in ends up being a roo. She's named all of our roos so far. Not sure what I'm going to do with the young ones I have yet because she is so attached to them.

I hatched out six bantam ameraucanas for my daughter and 5 turned out to be roos. THey are starting to fight each other and I sure don't want her one little hen to have to deal with that many suitors so I am gonna have to make her choose which one to keep and then start getting rid of the rest. Two are lavenders but one has a single comb instead of the normal ameraucana comb and the others are blue and black. If anyone close needs a bantam ameraucana roo let me know. She will probably keep the lavender one that has the right comb and maybe a black one to go with her blue hen.

I was only running one then I went and claimed like 6 things of eggs.....

I was suppose to stop,but the eggs kept calling me.....


Incubate us......

I was going to stop too. I have six turners in my cabinet incubator and could put 4 more in it if I don't use it for a hatcher too.I have one shelf right now that I put fresh eggs in that are shipped in case they started developing during shipping. Well, all six turners are full and I have eggs stacked in one turner. I haven't had time to candle those less that 10 days so if I do that and put 12 into lock down today I should have room for those that need to go in the turners today. A big batch goes into the hatcher Thursday. There should be about 65 in the hatcher Thursday and the 12 that go in today should hatch Thursday.

My motto is "All or nothing. Nothing in moderation"
