What will you grow in the greenhouse?

How old are they when they go to freezer camp?

So cute. Thanks for posting. I miss having chicks... Next year.

Hubby put a bat house on the side of our house. The bats didn't use it, but they did move into the space between that and the side of the house. :rolleyes: He took it down, put it on the side of an oak tree. No bats.

Are they all ok?

So still 8/12, though?

Speaking of cameras... Husband was given an old Brownie camera. What a cool thing. He's wondering if he can cut down 4x5 sheet film to fit and actually use it, just for the experience.

Yes. It's there in your face. When your food comes from the store, you don't see it.

8/12 (?) is still a good hatch rate. Excellent!

So cute! :jumpy Looking at day old chicks never gets old for me.

And how are the ducklings? Pictures? :pop

Remember to candle the duck eggs in the morning. Or sometime this morning, if you're reading this then. After coffee, of course!

Do you consider Friday to be the weekend? If so, remember to candle the dozen eggs in the incubator. :)

@U_Stormcrow, have you ever had Skordalia? I just learned of it today, and it sounds delicious. Lots and lots of garlic made me think of you.

Thanks, but...ummm... no. This was practically a contact shot. Less than 1" away. I used a .22 revolver. The first time, I was totally unprepared for the "death throes," and thought I'd missed the brain. The second rooster, I shot him and walked away until he was still. Just in case anyone...

When I had to catch two unruly roos, I used a fishing net on a 4' long pole. I shot them in the back of the head, point blank with a .22.

I have no experience with hatching, so no advice to give. Good luck!

How did the mite treatment go?

Sorry to hear your conditions are so inhospitable. Nature is "the other kind of mother" sometimes.

What are you using to treat the birds, coop, and barn?
