good evening, I took a few pictures today.. but I left the camera up on the kitchen table and I am too lazy to go get it..

I transferred 1 out of 11 guinea eggs today.. the rest were clears..

all but 8 of the call duck eggs were clear also.. just to make sure, I cracked every one of them open.. nada going on inside..

I set 49 guinea , 8 Del, 6 turkey and 5 peahen eggs today.. I have to find out how long peahen eggs have to incubate.. I did a batch last year, but I forgot..

I picked up my seed potatoes.. 50# Russets 50# Kennebek.. Our verification came from Jung that they sent the seeds.. Nothing came today.. FedEx is bringing them..

The puppies eyes are supposed to open tomorrow.. they still look like baby piglets , yet..
Yes, yes, I will take pictures when it happens.. they really howl when they crawl off their mattress onto the cold tile floor.. that must really feel cold on their fat tummy..

UnkaDan, I know you are lurking.. You must be really busy with the GH and all.. and Tomski, I have 6 quail for you if we can get them to you. They are from TerriO's eggs.. and Deb ? anybody hear from her?

The guineas moved their nest again .. One of them still lays her egg in the coop. but the rest ??? IDK WDK NK .

total eggs set to date.. 557.. luckily, not all of them hatch..

Hello everyone!

I have had a pretty busy day and just got back from a trip to Gary, IN

Tomorrow DH has to go into work for a bit, so I will take the opportunity to walk through the woods looking for wild leeks/ramps and morels. Wish me luck (especially on finding morels)!

This morning I went out to open the doors on the chicken run and I heard one of my BR choke on a crow (the one set as my avatar)! At the time I wasn't sure who it was so I crouched down and glared in. It happened 3 more times and I was able to isolate the offender (I mean dinner). Each time he flapped his wings and crowed another BR (I think female) pecked at him! LOL, too funny. Little does he know that he will be in the freezer by tomorrow night (maybe Sunday), I'll leave that up to DH! I am hesitant to do my 2 RIR roos as well. I have optimistic visions that they will not crow and can be kept. Opinions on this anyone?

Other than too much travel and crowing roos, my arthritis is acting up again and I am very sore and stiff. Ugh! A good night sleep and a walk through the woods is just what I need. Well that and some "chicken time".

I have not named any of the chickens to date and need to get on that for the hens at least. Of our 10 straight-run selection, we have 2 RIR roos and 1 hen, 1 BR roo and (we think) 2 hens, 3 RS hens, and one hybrid unknown. My favorite is a RS, the lightest of the 3, and she always come right up to where I am and flies up into my lap to hang out. The chicks are 9 weeks old today and I hadn't expected any crowers this early, nor have we added on the nesting box. Maybe we should get a start on that, LOL!

The hatchling pics are great, keep them coming!

Hello everyone! I haven't been on here in a while. Busy with two boys, 2.5y and 8 mo. Crazy times! Just wanted to check in an hope that everyone is doing well. My cochins are doing well.... just broke a broody today. She is finally back out in the run. Though, picked on a bit by my roo. Silly roo!

 

[babylady4]

When I left for work this morning I thought I had 3 broody ducks..... but no, just two for now. Taffy is working on her own nest and will be hatching babies AFTER the bash..... silly duck.


Nothing else going on here.... contacted FM and SF about the Bash. I hope they can both come!

Just so you all know, I crack myself up. Oh, and I might be inappropriate occasionally...

Cind, thank you for posting that link. It looks quite interesting. Can anyone actually get cuteness overload looking at chicks? I never tire of seeing all those fuzzy butts. Too adorable. I think you are really going to like your Doms, even though they are really good at stink eye.

MLH, Defensive End. So sorry to hear about Buddy.

and to the Cheesehead thread, lilliesllamas! Hope you like it here. Lots of friendly folks, and a few delusional ones too, not mentioning any names Bigfam.

I'm kinda agreeing with TerriO. I can't really see a chicken tractor being too functional in the snow we usually have up here. It might be ok for a summer home for your birds?

I'm really trying not to comment on this one, Bigz, really I am......... But you already knew that, didn'tcha?

And I sure hope your Lil Boy is feeling better real soon.

It stinks when they aren't feeling good.
