Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Farmer Kitty]

I got a baby! I got a baby! I got a baby! I just found an EE chick underneath my two broodies! She (please, please) is in the bator getting all warm and fluffy and figuring out those legs. I have two more eggs in the bator (one a mutt of mine and one an. EE) Please let the EE hatch I only removed her because the rest of the eggs aren't due to hatch for another week, and if I left them, my broodies wouldn't keep setting.
I got a baby!!!!!!!!!!! :bun (I really wish I knew how to get the pictures off my phone to post on here)

p.s. IT IS still raining!!! (had to go find runaway dog in the rain!)

Congratulations!

As for pics off a cell phone, there are two different types and two different ways, as far as I know anyway.

1. Your phone has a memory card that you can remove and then read with a card reader.

2. Email the pics to yourself and then go from there.

She is adorable! You do realize you could put her in a brooder instead of the incubator?

Congrats on the sweet baby chick, homesteadingcowgirl!! Yay, you!

It is SO hot here...ungodly for Western WA. Actually, thewife, is this heat normal for us? I've only lived down here for a year...and I'm not digging this at all. My outside thermometer said 99 degrees two hours ago, which means it's even hotter out right now. Wah!!! The good part, though, is our garden is taking off. We've had fresh broccoli, chard and zucchini with dinner the last three nights. YUM!

I went out and covered part of the chicken run with sheets for some shade (not sure if it's helping at all), and covered the window in the coop (it's on the west side) with cardboard and an empty plastic shavings bag to try and give the chicks some relief. I also cut open the wire fence "wall" between our two adjoining runs so the babies can have more room and more shade (and more to do). So far I haven't seen any more blood, but yesterday evening I did witness the white ones bullying the black ones. I think I'll separate out the white chicks and put the four from the garage back in with their fellows tomorrow. I'm hoping I'll be able to see who's beating up whom among the three white ones that way.

Bronco, Here is a pick of Repeat stuck in the hog panel (since I have the pic thing figured out-now if only I could figure out how to do more than one at a time. (

Yes, I know I could put her in a brooder, but she is brand new and since I have to have the bator powered up anyway, OI just as well save the electricity-I'll move her tomorrow.

I've seen a little girl try that. She didn't need help out but, I don't recall her trying it again.

To post more than one in a post, just put in the one, hit enter, put in another, hit enter, put in another one, etc. If you want a space in between them then hit enter twice.
