Very nice Kate! Plain enough to read easily yet not plain at all.

Exactly.

I wanted something that was simple but at a glance people knew exactly what I was advertising.

She said at one point it felt like she was designing tiny dinosaurs. The funny thing is is that chickens are the closest relative to the T Rex that are still alive today

Well it seems we didn’t have a total loss after our power outage fiasco ( no power for 3 days, lost several hundred chicks and eggs before we were able to get them all moved to my sisters.... )

I just got a text from my sister. Some of the eggs we transferred to her house are HATCHING!!!

I’m beyond excited.

I cried a lot over our losses. It happens but there’s always going to be that “If I had moved them sooner, would they have made it” in the back of my mind.

I'm glad that you were able to save some but that feeling is horrible! I feel like I could've prevented Sephie's csection and her buckling's death if I would've known more and realized that she was too small to be bred before I bought her.

I'll say a prayer that the ones that were moved have an awesome hatch rate!!

Poor Xena has a bad abscess that ruptured today.

One of the worst I’ve seen in a long time. At least it finally ruptured. It’s been brewing for a few weeks, a little over a month lately.

On the bright side we have a ton of happy peepers:

I did. We’ve been treating it. It just finally ruptured.
