well heck

i posted two updates in the last week and neither of them are showing on the page.. hmmm.. wonder what is going on here.. oh well, here we go again in a nutshell sotaspeak

only one egg hatched out of the last batch.. something killed them all when i took them out of the egg turner… arghhh.. so not a single aracuana chick, just one of my red mixes.. dammit.. oh well, will try again with the delaware eggs i got yesterday and see how they do.  the 7 babies from 2 hatches ago are doing great, gonna turn em out to the big pen tomorrow.. let them run around the pen all day while the big girls are out, and then see how they do when their mama’s come in to roost at nite *s*.. should be fun.. lol

the 3 baby ducks are doin very well, i put them in the big pen last weekend cuz i needed the cage for the chicks.. they were driving Mr Nibbles nutty and wouldn’t let him eat, so he was losing too much weight.. just have the one baby in with him now and she doesn’t bother him much.  anyway, back to the ducks, Jack still doesn’t acknowledge them as being part of his species so he hasn’t adopted them into his harem yet.. Spidergirl keeps chasin em so i think she knows they are females and she doesn’t want ANY competition from them!!! lol.. i named em Daisie, Ditzi, and Dora.. Dora was named by my g-nephew who i ‘gave’ her too.. since big brother Jake owns Spidergirl. 

Charlotte is doing wonderful, she follows me around every time i go outside and really gets upset if i leave ‘the yard’.. lol.. she’s a real character.. i’m goin to try and find her a boyfriend soon so she can raise some babies of her own maybe.  she’ll prolly start laying in another couple months, so will have goose eggs to eat !! yummm.. don’t know if they are as rich as duck and turkey eggs, but am assuming they are.

k well that’s it for this week.  ya’ll have fun!
