Hedge has 3 babies so far. These are some of the most active freshly hatched chicks I have ever had. One is not even fluffed all the way and is running around. Baffling just baffling.

Monday has 5 eggs under her. 5. I know, I even did a post about it. So somebody explain to me how today I went to tuck an egg back under her and realized it Wasn't one of hers that she has been sitting on. Nope this girl has 5 more stranger eggs under her and sure as anything after candling there are veins in some. So now my empty incubator has to be turned back on. At least The Husband is laughing at my Chicken Language and not upset the incubator is on again with 5 broodies ready to hatch.

Day 8 some folks want more or better feed I guess.

Finally couldn't take it anymore and broke down to buy some allergy medicine. Now to see how my idiosyncrasies with meds will effect me with this stuff. The Husband has bet that I'll be unconscious in an hour and won't get up until tomorrow so I guess we wait and see if he is right. Anybody else react really oddly to medicine to the point your Dr's are like WTF is wrong with you?

The past few days I have been busy enough that I only popped on FB to do the black and white challenge then get back to work. I in so form of insanity decided deep cleaning my kitchen was a great idea. It was but I have slowly started deep cleaning other areas of my house so I haven't stopped until almost bedtime. Yesterday we even re- arranged my son's room because he wanted a change and while doing so deep cleaned that. Since I started I may as well finish so if I am not on it is because I got lost deep cleaning every room and possibly the garage and maybe the shop. Not including keeping up with the regular daily cores that need to be done around here.

Day 5 somebody was burying eggs again, I had to dig these out.

Long day here at the Homestead. Among other things done today I got half the kitchen cabinets empty, any food date checks and the whole cabinet scrubbed down before putting everything back. I hate spring cleaning. Got the patio cleared off and cleaned then pressure washed just to watch the wind blow more dirt right back on so that was fun. If anyone needs me I am enjoying a glass of wine, pepperoni and cheese, and some YouTube for the evening.
