Thank You Sunny...

I played a Pay It Forward Challenge with Sunny at Sunny's Place and when my gifts came in I was so surprised cause I've been so busy lately I forgot that I would be getting some goodies in the mail! Its such a nice feeling to get something nice in the mail instead of BILLS! lol

Feb. 09 Chickies/Eggs...

Remember my Feb.09 bator hatch... They Are Hatching

Here's the 3 I ended up keeping at a couple weeks old, they all turned out to be pullets! So I should start seeing pullet eggs this month...

...and I have from Happy Mama. I noticed her checking out a nest box and later I collected a lil pullet egg from that box. She did that same thing today, so far she has her favorite box.

*** I was looking back trying to figure out how many chicks I ended up keeping from my hatches (I havent been keeping track very well), 3 from Feb., 3 from March, 9 from April and 22 chicks in May... something like that.

We took alot of GREAT pics. but I couldnt post them all, lol. So if ya wanna click here to see them... Ducky has 5 new friends

*The chickie in the pics. is from the lady I bought the ducklings, she gave it to me cause its a mixed breed and she couldnt keep it, it thinks its a duckling, lol. I've got it in the chickie brooder in the house, I've got some chickies hatching out in about a week so maybe they can be friends. I have 5 hens sitting on eggs :)
