Oh, one of my cochins co parenting with two silver Phoenix hens. And a broody pile up. 🤣 The one in the back on the right side is my gold laced cochin.

Will be replacing the losses with some of the ones I've hatched this year. And soon as I'm done hatching the Ameraucana eggs that are coming I'm getting some Chamois Spitzhauben eggs to hatch for replacing those or a mix of silver and Chamois eggs. Should have 20 plus hatching this Sunday!

Lost three more because they wouldn't go in the coop and wanted to roost in the tree! Only surviver is the oldest golden Phoenix hen I have who knows how to hide from them. 😠 operation coon apocalypse is in effect. Also operation get a LGD some time this year.

It's spring so more than likely.

I have now declared war on coons in my backyard. None will survive. My neighbors cat was attacked by one of the coons as well.

I think silkie is the only breed I like bared in.

😭I lost one of my Spitzhauben hens and my Silver Phoenix rooster to a stupid mistake. Happened on Monday night very early Tuesday morning. Had the rooster cooped up because he was being a butt to the other roosters from the bantam pen. It was twilight when I went out to close the doors to the...

OK! Pictures of the broodies and the mommas. This is Godzila. My only hen that likes to actually attack me when I stick my hand under her.🤣 The rest just make scary noises. The mommies!

Yucky!

Also oh boy the Brazos is rising! That means flooding in my area. I have my own rain and everyone else's. 🤣

We are still getting just up to medium rain. Should be over @3pm.

Sound plans! I'm hoping to do a 10x16 or 10x20 shead or something for incubating/hatching/brooding with grow out pens attached. Might do two actual pens attached as well. It all depends on how big the shed is. Will be adding better shelter to my open air pens so I can move away from tarps.

Cuties! I helped one of Dr.s chicks out of the shell because she kept getting up for the other four! We lost one in the garage:(. It's why I moved her into the brooder. Had one that partially hatched and quit as well. Also checked the ladies out in Dustys pen. Have 8 maybe 9 broodies out...

All are very pretty.

We're only getting drizzle and light rain. I hope it stays that way.

I know right. They alone have changed my mind on owning silkies. I'll be keeping two of them and my friend gets the othe two.

Another picture of the porcelain/blue creams.

1978 eggs hatched.

Soooooo I did some renovation of the outdoor brooder. I figured the chicks didn't move because it was too dark in it. I split it in two, sectioned up the top so I could access both sides and added lights. Moved the fully feathered ones out to it and already they were more comfortable and...

Woot! hatching! I would get a phone# and call but I'm old and that's how we did things. If they can't check their messages or know their phone has issues getting messages and they don't make the effort they are just not that interested in getting the cockerels. Anxiety is hared to be best...
