3 are out! 3 more pips + 1 with no action. All were active at lockdown.

No movement on the one that malfunctioned. Low temp I'm expecting delays...

Yay for your new babies! I just 'bartered' away my only Polish hen. A guy from Dahlonega came to get some chicks. He saw my Polish and wanted her really bad. I had thought about selling her anyway because she goes broody a lot and when she does lay, her eggs are only medium. His family owns the Smith House so we traded her for two dinners at the Smith House! That's like over $40! He paid for the 3 chicks. So, DH and I had a wonderful meal tonight and they had to roll us out in a wheelbarrow! All fat and sassy now!

Puff ball report

Met with @Tabasco Jack today and learned how to harvest and dress quail like a pro from a pro! I'm not going to say that killing each quail was actually fun, but it wasn't tough at all, and skinning and prepping them was a breeze. Jack has an excellent method, and I appreciate that he passed his knowledge on to me and Lisa (However, she just watched.).

My first Buff Orph and Flower hen/Islandic rooster egg hatched today. Can't wait to see how it turns out. I have a few more to hatch but this one is yellow with a perfect black beauty spot on it's head.

So happy to be back home that I started staining my chicken coop a driftwood grey & made tomato salad. God bless Georgia! But the top of Aspen Mtn is darn fine!

Ok everyone. Just found out that the episode of Coop Dreams we are on is going to be on August 11th! Have no idea what they decided to put in the show so just don't laugh if I come off as a big chicken dork! DH is even worried about some of his interview! Should be fun!

If you want a polish pullet just for fun, I have a couple to choose from. I'm happy to give you one.

Thanks, but not right now. I'm going to wait a little bit before I do chicks again.

In the meantime, I got Brienne the donkey to acclimate to me and halter break.
