In addition to babying the sick baby ... looks like Robo has some eggs that may be arriving today.  Supposed to set up an incubator at a school today to get it ready for eggs on Wed.

Do you have the egg situation covered, or shall I drive the sixteen I've got to you?
 
Hey everyone!
I slept in this morning because the peanut had a dream about a worm on the lawn trying to bite her (first hamsters, now worms -I don't know how this happens), and we were up a few times last night. I'm headed to round up food for everyone because we're all just about out at the same time: house critters, farm critters, and people. I also need shavings to finish my new coop assignments. It's 3 pm, so I have to hustle (spent part of the morning pow-wowing with the water dept over the mystery problem with the water, and it set me behind). Another cup of caffeine should do the trick....
 
Ugh ... every single one of Robo's new eggs that arrived today has a detached air cell. It will be ok ... it will be ok ... it will be ok ...


zoo ... I'd love to have them if you are sure you don't mind the drive. Between sicknesses and schedules there is simply no way that I could get away.
 
Ugghhhhh...... Am I the only one who's chickens won't eat anything green besides grass?

Mine didn't when they were younger. But from about a year old and up, they eat almost anything given to them. They LOVE tearing apart soft apples and pears though! Not quite rotten, but not hard and fresh anymore either.
 
Hey Chick! My Silkie babies are growing like weeds only had 2 successful hatches out of 6 eggs. Am trading them for a cpl Marans :) I come home and none of my hens are laying eggs!! They all missed me I guess.
 
Whew, this weekends renters included 10 adults and 13 kids. All the kids ranged from 3 - 7 years old. At first, my DH and I were worried that they would trash the house and yard (and it's happened before), but these kids are all really sweet and well behaved and get along really great! Today we did a pirates treasure hunt for them and they had to solve clues and walked all over our 25 acres! (Parents love that we tire out the kids so they go to bed early!) At the end, they dig up their treasure (that the parents give us in advance) They all had a great time. I also had a mini chicken class and they all got a chance to hold the younger chickens and asked all types of questions.....mostly like "do these eggs have baby chickens in them?" NO, I don't have a rooster to be their daddy....,they need a daddy to make a baby chick." So, they all leave and run up to my husband and ask him if he will be the daddy to my eggs so I can get baby chicks in my eggs!!!!! hahahahah.....kids are so cute......(sometimes!)

And! I was sneaky and got two baby chicks today! A speckled sussex and an Easter Egger that has a few feathers already. Very unusual coloring. White with orange. Hope it will be a lacy looking color. My DH will shoot me when he finds out! But, I just sold my true rumpless Araucanas pair and a guy is suppose to come tomorrow and buy my Serama roo and I found a guy to take my EE roo and the Serama girl is leaving next week. I also may sell my POL Silver Laced Wyandotte because I already have one. I also have an extra Black Australorp that I could part with. And, so I needed to replace them with a breed I don't have, right?! I am suppose to be downsizing! But, with the predators around here, I could lose a bunch in one lump sum! So, I need to have enough now, right? Just in case I lose some later, right?

YES! EXACTLY! I AGREE!

I'm actually trying to find out from abmaddox how well roos sell during the summer at Buggy Town. I'm about to hatch out A TON of eggs for myself. I need many, many more laying hens, and with the number that has disappeared just this spring, I plan on breeding more than I need just for the predator problem. But obviously, I don't want more roos, so I'll need some way to get rid of them. I know she's already offered to process them for me, but selling would be just as good. :)
