Not sure where to report our set- we set 7 eggs for the HAL (developing nicely), then we had a strange thing happen and we've had no internet until now. Two doves landed on a transformer of one of the utility poles that run along our property and the transformer exploded. Nobody was hurt and...
Hello all, hope everyone is well. We’ve hatched a few batches of Legbar/Leghorn mixes this month and we set more to set today, so I figured it was a good time to check in and join the Easter HAL.
Nope, that was correct. We found 5 more eggs about 5 days later that we weren’t sure about and slipped them under the broody that we was more serious. (I guess those 5 set/3 hatched don’t really count then? So total for HAL would be 11)
But wait, there’s more! Went for a drive (and bought a “new” car.) Came home to find 9 new chicks from the Legbar x Legbar, Leghorn, EE, etc.! (And one more that didn’t make it )
So, that’s 14 total. Happy dance!
We went to Arkansas to spend Easter with our oldest son. We came home to find a few new chicks! Looks like 4 chicks so far, 2 are camera shy. The lavender is an Orpington, the others are LO over Blue/Black Cochin. There are still a few Cream Legbars x White Leghorn, EE, CLB to hatch, and a...
Thanks! Hoping to add a few more blue layers to the mix. We put Joseph, or Legbar rooster in with 2 CCLB, 1 Brown Leghorn, 1 White Lefhorn, and one EE that we call Eggs Lincoln because of her black beard. She was a packing peanut with some Cornish Rocks we bought.
We did! How about you? We didn’t get nearly as much as we anticipated, and we’re fine with it. It drizzled most of Friday, then we had some heavier rain Saturday afternoon, but it didn’t last long- per our daughter. We left town late Saturday morning and went to the city for the SF Flower &...
Wow, that’s great that they hatched. Amazing what good eggs can handle! We sold our RV, but I think Bill may have kept the portable generator. Seems like a no brainer, but I hadn’t thought about it. I’ll have to ask him to have extra fuel on hand and to fire it up once or twice tomorrow, before...
I’m really worried about the expected gully-washer of storm too. The last one didn’t flood our place here north-east of Merced, but it made the drive to and from work quite an ordeal. Many of the roads were washed out. We only lost power briefly, but I’m concerned about a longer outage this...
We set 103 eggs for the HAL and our final number of birds hatched is 63. :celebrate Once “we” for got to toggle the turner switch back on :smackand another day temperature spiked, so overall, I think we did okay.
Since we only have one LO hen, we also put 3 Blue Cochin hens in with our LO...
