Mottled Javas are the second oldest breed in the US, so I was really happy to get them!

The black and white ones? No, those are Mottled Javas :). Jen's chicks are mixed breed - Cream Legbar x Yokohama.

Good morning! This time it really is morning - it's almost 1 in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I candled duck eggs today, and it appears I'm going to have a staggered hatch. Not exactly what I wanted, but oh well. The Buggers learned to go upstairs into the nesting box finally. For a week I had to...

Good evening and good morning (it's both somewhere...)! I didn't post Wednesday because I posted Monday. Jenny and her buggers are doing good. They share the run with the chickies, who quickly learned to leave the littles alone. When Annie Beth came sauntering by (outside the pen), Jenny went...

Thank you! :highfive: I don't think so. Three were definitely duds, and the fourth looked like it was dead. I left it in there just to be on the safe side, but...

I couldn't wait till Wednesday...they came a day early! @Debbie292d @N F C @Callender Girl Come see! Found the one in the second picture on the floor of the run. The chickies (Faith and Co.) didn't even realize it was there. It was cold, poor thing, got it back under mummy right away. Then we...

It's thunderstorming here. The frogs are going crazy. I really don't have anything to say. It was a bad week - I just lacked the mental ability to do anything. I've got bad news in addition to that, though. Helen was killed by a predator on Friday. The first victim ever. I was walking the dogs...

Golly is hilarious! I wish my geese were like Gussie - they all want to eat me alive! Twelve weeks left!:woot Thank you both for your concern about my knee. It has already improved a bit :).

Thank you! :highfive:

Hello! It's beautiful outside here on in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains on the Eastern Seaboard by the Chesapeake Bay. Next time someone asks me where I live that's what I'm going to tell them :p. Matilda is still sitting, I think it's been a week. So I'm hoping... I'm thinking...

No clue! Both Matt and Helen are back outside and doing well :).

Good morning y'all! I noticed you always write in at 5 AM, you see :). Not much going on here. Jenny is on Day 13, still going strong. She scared me for a bad minute 'cause she got off the nest for a whole half hour. But I read that a hen can get off for up to an hour. She is sitting on six...

Thank you! :highfive:

I am so tired. I am literally falling asleep as I write. I just got home from D.C. And had to run out and feed all the birds, every last one of them was out of food. I thought I'd given them enough... Jen's still going strong. I haven't candled her eggs, so I hope she's not sitting on them for...

I'm a day late, but here we are. I've been sewing literally all day, and so I don't even know how to start. Bad news first... The ganders were fighting and Matt had a feather broken. It was bleeding so I applied pressure, VetRX, and cornstarch. He has to stay in the basement too and he's not...

Good evening, y'all! Not much going on here, but the Muddy Run is living up to its name again. The roof is leaking, bad. The runs are all mud, the bedding is soaked, at least a pound of food has been wasted. :rant:barnie Helen hurt her feet trying to get out of a pen (not the one in the...

Good evening y'all... I'm trying to return to my biweekly schedule, hence the back to back posts :). I forgot to say that in my previous post that a fifty lb. bag of food lasts ten days when you're feeding twelve chickens, three ducks, four geese, and two turkeys. There isn't a lot to report...

I think we have 37 total...:D

It's been a long week since I last posted. Now I can't remember everything I wanted to say. Chickies went into Apartment No. 1 of the Muddy Run last Monday. After a few days of putting them up to bed in the nest box at night, they are perching! They are the smartest birds I've had! Of course...

Good evening! It's Eva's fifth birthday today, so today's post will mostly center on her. She was born on Easter Sunday, and we got her at a pet store when she was nine weeks old (which means my birthday is in nine weeks - yikes!). Eva started traveling cross country when she was only four...
