    I have had terrible results with seed germination the last few years, but Seed Savers beans germination has been close to 100%.

    Good one! My great niece is about 7, loves animals, wants to be a farmer. I send my sister pictures and videos of my chickens to share. Her granddaughter said "Naomi was teaching them, one egg and one egg equals 2 eggs" :love

    I was thinking of how chicks can get stuck, and suddenly recalled a situation with one of the Dominiques. I went to the coop, noticed one of them was not with the others, went looking, and found her upside-down, head and neck stuck in a wire basket. I freed her, and held her on my lap for a bit...

    Today the chicks were going out through the gap in the corner. I won't be around to rescue them tomorrow, so I blocked it. Literally. Hopefully none of them get stuck, again. In this heat it could be fatal.

    Beans and Summer squash (1st planting) are dying, normal. Second sowing of Summer squash is blossoming, 3rd sowing of beans are blossoming as well. Pumpkin vines are dying, leaving about 6-8 pumpkins behind, turning orange. The second volunteer squash is also a pumpkin plant! :p Tomatoes are...

    You want chicks, admit it. Naomi's eggs died. I bought her replacement chicks. She has settled into motherhood as if she's done it before.

    After lunch I brought some tuna fish to the flocks. It was Ron's. I don't eat it, and the chickens LOVE it. I split the can between the two flocks. While I was in the second coop I noticed that the chicks weren't clustered around Naomi, but were running around and through the other hens, and...

    Looking at Hoovers' site, most likely is these My chicks legs are whitish, very light. The other OE bantams on the site have yellow legs. We'll see.

    It's okay, they're for Naomi. Any boys will go to auction.

    Addendum 2: in the Sussex coop Hannah started making weird noises, like a jungle bird cry "Ah ah ah". It just occurred to me...is she thinking about going broody, too? She's the only hen from the original three that did not hatch eggs. I'd give her a couple from the incubator if she does go broody.

    Addendum: another member here at BYC recommended making mash from crumble and water when one of my chicks had pastybutt. She said eating mash helps them stay hydrated, and that pastybutt could be caused by lack of fluids. I started feeding mash to my chicks, and in subsequent hatches have not...

    Good morning! Naomi took her chicks back in the brooder at dusk. I shut the door, opened it this morning. She tried to lead them out into the coop, but they were busy feeding on the spilled crumble. I mixed water and crumble together in a bottle cap, offered it to the chicks and they dug in...
