Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Thewife]

I really need to get some more hens like her, that lay real eggs!
I might have a line on some, I will just have to wait and see if the nice person that has them has any extra hens!

If I'm the "nice person" you're referring to , I might need some help sorting out the boys from the girls!!! So far I can't really tell, although three of the black ones have started showing comb development. I _hope_ I have extra hens, though, and not too many roos!!

Amy!
You have chicks?
I did not know that!
Don't think I would be much help telling what is what!
I change my mind daily on my 3 Jersey black giants!

you know their roos when you hear an see emm trying to crow

I love it when they start TRYING to crow!
I'm pretty sure the gawd awful screaches I'm hearing from the back yard is 1 of my little polish roos trying to crow!

My first two hatches are big enough for the roos to try crowing but so far, I haven't heard anything out of them. I can definitely tell I have 2 roos and 1 pullet from my first hatch. I haven't looked to close at the second hatch.

Where are you from? It was 12:50 p.m. when you posted here. I've noticed before you saying morning (and early in the morning)when it's afternoon here so, I'm assuming your not in the U.S.

We raked hay over on the other farm this aft. It's ready to round bale.

 

[wynedot55]

how meny round bales have yall made so far kitty.an is the round baler working good.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

No clue as to how many made so far. He's having a bit of trouble getting the middle of the bale to wrap tight but, as he makes more and tries different things, they are getting better. This one operates different than the old one.

Actually from WY, generally my day here starts about 5:30 or so. On my end, it showed I posted an hour before what it read for you


somehow managed to knock myself in the honker with the sm. sledge-oh, the pain, good excuse for a break if I ever heard one

 

[wynedot55]

well with a case IH baler i cant tell you how to make tighter bales.

The chicks are finally moved to the coop in the barn, which has been cleaned and restocked with fresh shavings and their brood light. They didnt' know what to make of it at first but are all settled in now. I think I have five roosters (if looking only at those with developing combs and/or slower growing tail feathers). One white one with some black on its back went after another presumed roo (biggest comb, but not a very big chick!) with double kicks of the legs...same one that did that to my hand a few days ago. I know which one I WON'T be keeping!
