OH! :lau they are strict teetotalers, so that would open an unnecessary can of worms. :hide
Topaz nips my feet. I guess treat her like a cockerel and pin her down, then carry her a bit? Pinecone bites at me when I add food or water, so I'm carrying her around, too.
I made it! Cooked all my meals, made eyes at all the boys. This has seriously been one of my very favorite groups. :love They are so sweet and polite. And now I'm done! I have a Mother's Day tea with DD tomorrow, then I'm going to take the kids and stay the night with my mom.
Maybe you can ask Sally? I need to go to bed so I can get up early enough to cook breakfast. Biscuits in the morning.
Hoping BYC is back soon so we can leave this awful motel. :fl
You can leave them another day, or til you see draw down. I've started waiting for that to put them in lockdown so I don't have to wait as long. :lau Just stop turning.
What do you mean straightened out? Like normal or like flat across?
I'm going back to lurking. I've been extremely anxious and every time I contribute to the post count I get knots in my belly. I do not feel welcome on BYH, and it's getting the best of me.
I'll see y'all in a few days. If y'all want to talk I'll be on fb, or you can email me...
Liz! And Mike! NOW FINALLY I have muscovy eggs. :weeeI was not expecting them to be so green? This is my third one, all three found in places outside the coop while the layers were still locked up. :clap
Clockwise from green egg: muscovy, leghorn, banty cochin, new laying banty cochin, and...
The whole staff will be here Monday. I can wait that long to put banties in the tractor right? I just feel really anxious... Hurry up and wait is not my strength. I want to move the tractor over by the garden before I put the birds in. Three hens, four pullets, and two roos. I think that'll be ok.
I've got to call it a night. Big group of 60+ frat guys coming in tomorrow, and I'm cooking for them! :th
Y'all take care. Anyone else notice that granny is the most active thread? :gig:gig:gig
Not too much. It can hold a bit of water, too. It's mesh, so doesn't affect airflow that much.
I'm not sure of the breakdown, maybe a quarter marans. I'm super excited about the egg color. :fl I have one roo, one pullet, and one I'm not sure about.
I put an x at the lowest dip, so if one is rolled I can tell. I also clump them together, touching so that chicks can pop the cap off but not roll the others too much. That bumpy shelf liner helps, too.
