BYC Café

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

Bella tried for a 4:00 wakeup call. I made it to 4:45. Still haven't fed her yet though. I'm going to make them wait until 6:00 to have breakfast.

Good morning and thanks for the hot coffee!
10F outside, sun, no breeze. We have a week of sun and Thurs it is supposed to get to 40F. The mid-winter mental health sunshine bake day!
Enjoy the day, Cafe!

Good afternoon Café!

After a rare dry and sunny day we are experiencing a beautiful sunset, what a treat after so many weeks of all shades of nasty grey!

There were 5 eggs in the nestbox today, but one pullet egg got cracked as the temperatures are getting rather cold.

I arranged for some hatching eggs this spring to be sent in March when my reliable broodies get ready to set:
French BCM and purebred Ameraucana. My own BCMs are quite old and after more than two decades I do have lots of different shades of green and olive eggs, but the vibrant blue and turquoise colours sadly got lost along the way and I hope to see them again in fall when the Ameraucana pullets will start to lay.
I find myself really excited already and there is still at least two month of wait ahead!

They have my DH in Seattle, University Washington medical ICU.
His kidneys have shut down.

His kidneys have shut down.

Oh dear!
I do hope the experts will be able to help him recover.

Do you know if they already put him on the waiting list for a kidney transplant?

I have one hen who is still growing feathers. I have been letting her sleep in a nest box, but last night she was on the roost.

One of the oldest hens (I think she's top of the pecking order, but she's pretty laid back about it) was also sleeping in a nest box, but she is done molting. She's one of the hens laying.

Today, about an hour before lock up, I blocked off the nest boxes, thinking those two would go to roost. Nope, they are on the floor between the nest boxes.

WTH, ladies?

My broody hen does that, she wanted to sleep in the nestbox, I closed it off, she sleeps on the floor outside the nestbox. I too, not sure what up with that?

Good Morning All,
We got sunshine this morning, I am happy now, but the sunshine will not stay for long. More rain coming and I do hope NOT.
Having my 2nd coffee now.
Let there be warm sunshine, clear blue sky and light wind.
