No babies. Sorry, yesterday I had a little trouble with my dog and that took along time...

Just maybe someday, you will get some babies. Patience, it is a tuff lesson in life. Ugh! Hang in there.

Hey Ya'll! (Patience, ergghhhh... hard! I'll get there though....)

Summer's started and all is well on the happy farm. Good news, In About 12 days I'll have chicks!
Bad news, I've got poison Ivy all over my foot and a bit up my left leg. I've been relaxing lately, .
This itchy stuff is driving me crazy though. Good news though! I got invited to a local livestock show! (sort-of)
So hopefully this fall Kisses can show off in the ring! So excited about that. I've got some so/so news now. I will be off here for a while, just hanging out.
Don't worry, I'm not leaving for good, just be off and on for a while. So you'll see me one day, than not the next week, then maybe I'll be on alot for a whole month.
I'm just not going to be updating usually. See yah!

Have a great day!

Well the poison Ivy turned out to not be poison IVy. HE decided he was going to act like some allergic reaction and spread a over my body like a wild fire.
I've even got it on my face! I went to the doctor and she has no clue what it is, but I did have an infection on my foot. So after all that, I'm following the doctors orders.
Feet up, med, and NO cleaning. I hate being stuck on the sofa watching food network, staring around at what I could be doing. Thankfully this won't last long. I've got some helpful relatives to
that are taking perfect care of my babies! Did you ever try typing while having feet propped up turned sideways??? DON'T. Chicks in a few more days, for now I can't watch my broody mommas, just tv! I read a bit, but I hate lying still! Good thing is, I found a handsome buck for this fall breeding! I think I'll do kisses again. (maybe betty) It's kinda funny how I plan all this stuff MONTHS before it even happens. Can't be to prepared huh? I also may be getting an IPAD! I am kinda of an electronics gal as well. I know that may be silly, but I am! Well , sorry if my typing or spelling is off. My position while typing is quite interesting so it;s hard to type! Well better go make some pop corn! Think I'll turn on some more food network or an old movie.

Sorry you are stuck sitting around. So if you have broodies I assume they are sitting on eggs. When is your hatch due and what breeds are you hatching? I've got an EE hen sitting on 10 eggs that are due to hatch tomorrow and Friday! She is sitting on our own eggs which will be mixed breeds. Moms will be EEs and RIRs, dad is likely the EE roo we got rid of. Hazel went broody 9 days after we got rid of the rooster and since there was a chance the eggs we were getting were still fertile by him we figured we'd give her some of our eggs to try to hatch rather than purchasing eggs and risking her giving up on brooding and losing money on hatching eggs. She has been a great broody and I'm hoping we get a few chicks from the hatch. If we don't I know where we can get some chicks to give her for a good price and if we have to go that route I can add some breeds I want to add to the flock too. More than likely whatever she hatches will be sold.

it's o.k. Thanks for the !!!! I have 2 clutches. The first is under a Buff Orpington. The second is under a buff orpington and a stubborn brown leghorn who wants to share the nest.
The eggs are from my friends flock. She has no broodies so she gave 11 eggs to put under my BROODY hens. She has 3 hens. 2 are black (don't know the breed) and 1 is a buff.
She has 2 roosters: 1 buff and one silkie. She really needs some hens so I'm hatching for her! I'm down to 6 eggs though. :/ Hopefully we'll have a good turn out because I've got 4 hens that are set on being broody and 2 nest boxes!!!! Try to picture that! Hope you've got good luck on your hatch!!!!

iPads are great! The only issue I have with mine is the darn auto correct. Which is why my post tend to be odd. Sometimes autocorrect works and sometimes it does not.
