well down to 11 chickens, freckles and 10 girls.. but all of them are laying, so i get an average of 8 eggs a day.. when the squirrels and snakes don’t get em.. grrrrrr
still have the two baby buff chicks and they are growing fast. bought a baby brown chinese duck, named her Charlotte.. she’s growing very well.. have all 3 in with Mr Nibbles and he snuggles em and cleans em and takes care of them.. he loves taking care of ‘babies’.. prolly a little odd for a rabbit to do that, but he’s a very good ‘father’.
Spider is growing rapidly.. turns out she’s a female, just like i thought and told my sister, but of course, she knows better.. LOL.. but she’s WRONG again. 
None of the eggs i was trying to hatch worked out.. threw em in the woods for the snakes.. bought a real incubator on the 1st and put about 3 doz eggs in it.. hopefully this time next week i’ll have maybe half of them hatch! Will let you know, not sure they are going to do right, cuz i couldnt get the temperature set right for the first few days. I was using the thermometer from my aquarium because the one with the incubator was missing, and i’d have the aq therm at the right temp but the one for the incubator was showing 10 degrees lower, so by the time i got everything adjusted to the right temp, i don’t think the eggs are any good anymore.. oh well.. will find out in a week if any are going to hatch or not, and if not, will just start over with fresh eggs.
so that’s it for now. Happy Easter to everyone and hope you have a great finish to this month!
