Could spring finally be here? I sure do hope so. I haven't been on more as I've been having a Trigeminal Neuralgia flare up that is kicking my behind. I can't even find words to describe it. So I've had many days of getting up, milking the cow, take a nap, milk the cow, eat dinner and go to bed.
But in the meantime, I've also bought baby chicks to keep me happy. Everytime things are really bad, I head to the feed store and get a few more fluffies to cheer me up...so now the current count is
Trip #1
2 Buff Orpingtons, 4 Americaunas
#2
2 Silver Laced Wyandottes
2 Gold Laced Wyandottes
4 Cuckoo Marans
2 Buckeyes
#3
6 Guineas (3 have died)
#4
4 Turkeys (3 have died)
2 Welsummers
2 Easter Eggers
#5
10 Meat Birds (1 has died)
#6
2 Buckeyes
#7
2 Dixie Rainbows
2 Brahmas
2 Partridge Rocks
So.....I have 3 troughs of babies in my pump house, and the first 6 are now big enough to live in the small moveable coop in the barn. And just today, I had a chick hatched out by a broodie mama. Only one (so it's likely a rooster) and it looks like a Barred Rock. And one of the duck mamas wen't broody yesterday, so we may have ducklings in 40 days.

how adorable they are! just interested - how did the ones die? They are going to grow fast!!! I'm excited about the "easter eggers" - they lay the pastel eggs, right? :)
Ohhhhh, yes! You do have a chicken addiction. ;-) But they are really cute!
