trystinnI managed to get outside and get a few things done in the coop this morning, something not easily done with the wind and rain pelting me whenever I stepped out of the shed. I still need to clean the coop, but the pen has been cleaned out and is ready for the new bantam Frizzles - I'm getting three: one cockerel & two pullets Sunday morning:
Here's the cockerel, he needs a name (Cinnamon?):
And the ladies, who both need names (Sugar & Pepper?), too:
All combined, that's +3 for the Banties.
I sold two KC/Runner ducklings today, so that's -2. The two rescue Rhodies are heading over to their new home tonight (around 6:30), so that's another -2 for -4. I've also sold (to be picked up this weekend) the two Ameraucanas & our Runner, so that's -3, for -7. So, we're down 4 birds total. Not too shabby.
And then there's the big news - Scarlett's clutch is hatching! I saw an uber cutie pop out from under the shed this morning. *dance of joy* A cute little blue chick, so s/he definitely takes after Big Blue. I've placed some Starter feed under the coop, but I'm not sure exactly where they are. I need to get fresh water out there, as well - so I'm soaking the waterers in bleach solution.
