When Cinni hatched before we didn't separate her. She's a fierce mama. I suppose it depends on your flock a little. I won't be separating her this time either.

My problem was the other hens kept laying eggs in the nest.
Everything was getting confused...

We separated out last mama chicken because when she was in the big coop she kept getting confused and getting back on the wrong nest when she got off to eat.

Wouldn't you know it! The very day that I decide to put duck eggs under a chicken the darn duck decides to go broody herself?! I'll be swapping out he chicken eggs that the duck is sitting on later for some duck eggs. Crazy birds!

Sour cream has been moved to the fridge.

Boingo is feeling better this evening.

And I have a broody hen, Cinnamon who hatched out eggs last summer has gone broody. I'm seriously contemplating giving her some duck eggs to sit on. This crazy weather has me so nervous though, but it's not as if I don't have plenty of eggs to "play" with. What do y'all think?

Go for it. The Ducks might think their chickens but that won't hurt them. I've hatched a Goose egg under my Ultra broody Buff Orpington. Big Mama didn't care what her chick looked like or that the egg was MUCH larger than any other she had sit on, lol. Mind you as soon as the egg started peeping, I took him out and raised him myself.

B got kicked off the bus for the rest of the week. For something that he did on Monday that we are just now being told about - 2 days ago!

I hate that delayed notification. If a kid does something wrong you need to know immediately so you can remedy the problem. If it's that important that they need to notify you they should be able to let you know right away. Grrrr. Hope you get it straightened out soon!

Since when does that make sense. I would disagree with that disciplinary action.

 

[elevan]

When I questioned it, I was told that they were backlogged on disciplinary issues and were just getting to stuff from 2 days ago! One huge problem I see is that I can't really discipline B for it myself now (even though I know what he did) as he's not even gonna remember what he did 2 days ago!

Sounds like there's a problem at the school if they are backlogged on disciplinary problems. Hmmm, maybe what they are doing isn't working?? Sending notifications home 2 days later certainly isn't going to help their cause any.
