Back Online

We were offline for a while due to changing from AT&T to cable. Had no idea it would take so long to get it installed. Still don't have a phone yet, but at least the nets back up and running.

The new Ameraucana rooster. I'm calling him Roger so far.

We've received the incubator and egg turner! They're working beautifully. No eggs though to incubate. My newest hens are Blue Andalusian/RIR crosses and I do get an egg a day from them (there are 3 hens and a Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster). But that's not a lot to report. No eggs still from the RIRs and they're now 19 weeks old. Nor from the Silver Sebrights or Ameraucanas. They all are just waiting for something. I don't know what.

Chicks are shooting up like weeds! The Cochins are almost all feathered. The bantam assortment is 22 clean legs and 14 feather footed. The feather footed looks like 3 White Frizzle Cochins, 3 Mille Fleur D'Uccles, 2 Buff Cochins, 3 White Cochins and 3 White D'Uccles. The Clean legged group has 2 Gold Sebrights, 6 Ameraucanas, 4 White Laced Red Cornish, a Self Blue Japanese I think, an unknown white with black spots chick, some White OE and some White Japanese, 3 black chicks which I'm not sure what they are.

The big group of goats left last weekend. That was a chore, but glad its over. Its remarkable how different the herd is with 5 less does and 1 less buck. I'm glad the herd is a bit smaller. Still have 3 more kids to leave and 2 bucks. Then we'll be set.

Well that's a sum up of the happenings so far. I'll get more photos of the chickens and updates again soon.
