Scary storm! It's not past me until 4pm. I'm just to the right of the grey squiggly line .. I got all the birds in just in time.. I Think - not sure if all the free rangers went in

Rabbit Rabbit
Welcome September 😊

Yesterday I got rid of 3 roosters and brought one home 😄
He's a splash, almost a dark blue splash, Silverudd's Blue 💙
I'm smitten with this lil guy, he's very nice. And
I had a nice visit with Simply Feathered Acres 😊 one of the nicest people I know. It's amazing to see how far she's come since I met her.
and I picked up a few hatching eggs too. Because I could 😆😏🤞(Much Thanks, Dominique ☺️)
If you're not following her page, you should be!

My last hatch wasn't the last hatch 😄 but I'm pretty sure this one will be. Pretty sure. LoL! 🥴
My mail carrier did me dirty though!! Tossed the box onto the porch. I was inside and I literally HEARD the box hit the floor 🙄 this is a unboxing pic and exactly how it looked when I uncovered the eggs. 2 in the corners popped out of their foam. The rest were ½ way out. All from my mail carriers last actions 😠 and it was held up for a couple days too, should have been here on Saturday. It was clearly marked "Hold for pickup' too, but they didn't do that. Almost 12 hrs bouncing around in her truck on dirt roads. 😭

If you get eggs delivered by USPS, put a Hold on your mail for the time period that they're due to arrive. That's what I wish I'd done. But they've always been good about it in the past, I didn't think I needed to.

MUCH Thanks to Jess at Hens hooves and honey for excellent packaging - no broken eggs!! 😃

I'm just going to pray for a good hatch but so far my Marans journey has started out very rough! 😬 This is my 2nd attempt this year. The first attempt resulted in star gazing and cross beak chicks. Lots of reasons for causes, but I wasn't going to risk bad genetics. I won't pass that on to someone else.. if it even was genetics.

I have to get samples from chicks for DNA gender testing today. Right after I finish this post. And clean the brooder for the millionth time. Not really, but it feels like it. 😂

Have a good day, y'all! ✌️❤️🐓

Good morning ☕
It's raining and gonna rain all day I guess. My gardening friends need it.
The Hawk babies went to a new home yesterday and I definitely noticed their absence this morning. One or maybe both started laying a couple weeks ago, but not the blue egg I was needing from them to have them be a part of the new pen I'm putting together. And not a good fit for any other pen I have. Even if it was just one that was laying, they had to go together. Birds do better with a buddy when they go to a new flock.
I'm sad, but also happy because I'll get to see them and they'll be living their best life in a forever home, and I feel good about that 😊 Thanks, Dave!
