Chicks are doing well~~



The chicks were growing up fast in their giant carrier, that we put in the guest bathroom.
 While the Quails, aren't as far along as the others, we needed to put them out in the Tack room.... so they would have more room to roam.
They looked sooo big in the house,,, but out here in the shed..they are very tiny!

Was a bit worried about the night temps but they seem to be doing ok.

As it heats up, am going to have to put frozen gallon jugs in there so they can cool off.






Above are the little Quail Antwerps.... they love meeting me at the door, because they want treats! LOL



What greets me, the minute I walk into the tack room.
Try taking a photo one handed.  :O)



One part of the shed, with the Quails, Porcelains d'Uccles and Lavender Bantam Americana's.
Well and the Cochin Photo bomb up front.



Quails playing Queen of the hill.



Lavenders looking scruffy as they grow in their real feathers.



The Lone Cochin.... I think its going to be a Rooster.... 


New Mini ~


New mare..... a Buddy for Maggie.

Both her and Maggie were groomed up and fly sprayed, this morning.
New mare wasn't sure about it, but I think she will figure it out fast.
She did love being groomed. 

She is happily eating breakfast this morning

Fixing the Hail damage~



Sanders Construction, who is also a good neighbor, is working on, getting the hail damaged fixed.
We have a long list of things to be done and they are doing a great job.

Biscuit and Sunflowers~



Home made Biscuit Breakfast made by DH. Doesn't it look good?!



Had two Sunflowers growing in the Hen house yard, before the Hail storm. Now there is only one.
Can see the damage to the leaves due to the hail. 
Still is a beautiful and cheerful flower.


Baby Chick Up date~~


Baby Chick up date....
The 5 Lavender Americana Bantams are doing well, as are the d'Uccle Porcelians I bought from Murray McMurray when I figured out the hatch wasn't going well with the LAB's.
There is one lone Cochin in the middle.



The d'Uccle's when they were a little younger.



A Lavender Americana Bantam, can see how much larger their eyes are, compared to the other breeds.
Having a lot of fun with them,  they are quite tame.

Went to the wedding ~~~


Me in Make up, for the first time in 20+ years and even tried to tame my hair.

Was a nice wedding last night. Very happy for Russ and his new bride.

Got to dance with with my DH for the first time in a longggg time.
Only could do one dance, but I loved it.

Those cute little half boots,,,, surprisingly super, super comfy!
They are Yuu Marsha Leather Shooties, in-case anyone is interested in trying them out.

Bantam lavender Americana chicks~


Some of the chicks hatched 2 days before they should of....
Right during the time the Direct TV person arrived.....  
Thought the chicks that hatched would be ok until he left.... 
Bad move on my part. sigh ~~
Should of grabbed them and carry them around with me.

Lost the first three chicks.  :P   Due to the non broody hens stealing them from under the broody hens. 

Have 5 so far, though I am not sure the rest will finish hatching out or not.

Not able to find any more Bantam lavender Americana..... I just ordered a few Porcelain d'Uccles, so they will have a few more buddies.
They will arrive next Monday.  
Will raise them for awhile in the house and then move them out to the tack room in horse shed.

Will be nice to have some bantams again.
