Yikes! Hope you feel better soon!

Dang good question! I just received 18 more eggs from the same breeder. They'll go in the incubator today. Also have some others ordered from a different breeder. Hopefully there'll be lots of fluffy butts running around here soon enough! I'm going to try and work on my screen house today...

Hi, and welcome from Texas. Love your story, admire what you've done and can't wait to hear more!

You need a day of rest! We have rain in the forecast but nothing so far today. I'm slogging my way, slowly but surely, through my to-do list. Unfortunately, I get side-tracked way too often, lol. Had someone ask me the other day if I had chicks, and would I agree to sell some. But, of...
