The door to my hoop coop was getting hard to close, so I raked debris from around the frame and found lots of earthworms. So did my chickens! ;) I tried to get a picture but the hens insisted on checking out the freshly raked soil. I had a bucket of debris, and decided to use it as a side...

Incubator holding at 60%, 100°F. Nothing noticeable. Tamar still sitting on eggs. Nothing noticeable. :caf

Suggestion: use a hasp instead of a bolt, the type you can turn the part a lock would go through. Slide a carabineer through. Raccoons can open bolts, so why not make it raccoon proof before they show up and decimate your flock? I had a raccoon wipe out my flock except for one that was brooding...

Our largest employer (medical facility) has all HR working "remote" = not working. Everything is virtual, online, and most of the apps I need for my job duties don't work consistently. It's aggravating and you have my sympathy. Can you use your caregiver experience for something related? Home...

It needed a little more sugar. I love rhubarb pie, but we can't grow rhubarb here, and if I could find the preprocessed stuff locally I doubt it would taste the same.

Thought: that fan will be a future raging inferno. Is there a way to attach/include the pullets' coop to their run?

Yesterday :fl

I woke up in the middle of the night for a "nature call", and then walked out to the den to check on the incubator... :p:gig:hmm

Girl...??? :fl

You need to use a sharp knife to harvest eggplant.

Humidity holding at 60% as of 5:45am...no sign of pipping.

After I got home from work and took care of the flock's needs I walked around the gardens and the yard in general. I noticed that I still had several 4 packs of annual bedding plants, unplanted. Knowing that they would die soon if I didn't transplant them, I picked up a garden knife and started...

Oh, MY, what a pose! Martha is as calm, no, calmer than any others in the flock, but she would launch herself at a hen who may have just looked at the chicks in a manner that Martha didn't appreciate.

I went and checked the calendar again...I was mistaken. The 21st day is FRIDAY, not tomorrow. I do understand that chicks can't count to 21, that they will hatch when THEY are ready, not according to the calendar. They could hatch tomorrow, or Saturday, or not at all... :( The eggs were...

Hannah is still being a 💩. She was on the left side of the roost, and all the chicks were smooshed up against each other tightly, trying to avoid her. Martha was in the middle and LC was roosting below, on the edge of the wheelbarrow where Tamar is brooding. I moved Hannah to the far right side...

:fl :fl:fl:fl:fl:fl

I just found the real bottle that I was supposed to fill with water and insert into the incubator, and it probably holds a cup! Humidity is holding at 60%. Day 21 is tomorrow FRIDAY, technically at night.

I'm trying to recall if I posted a photo of my house plants here. They're on the porch right now, and I haven't put them up on stands yet. Christmas cacti (2), Angel-wing begonias, spider plants, Mother-in-law tongue, aloe, and an "I can't recall the name" succulent.
