Sick but happy :)


Ugh....for some reason I feel like I'm getting the flu all of asudden. I hope I'm wrong but I just got this flash that I could puke anytime. I've felt fine all day until now here at 8 pm. LOL. I know others are sick so I really hope my stomach just doesn't like the zero calorie pop I'm drinking or something I reeealllly don't want to be sick lol.


Well, just today I recieved in the mail 4 Bantam Barred Rock eggs (show quality stock), and a dozen coturnix eggs! I am so excited!!! A few other swappers mailed out eggs to me today! :) I'll get up early tomorrow too but I don't think I'll recieve any tomorrow already but who knows right? :) I'm expecting Bantam EE eggs, as well as Bantam Blue Orpington eggs, the Serama breeder her birds haven't been laying well, so she hasn't sent out mine yet to me I don't mind waiting. :) I am very excited about the bantam EEs and Bantam Blue Orps....I only was supposed to get the bantam EEs, but the sweet guy James offered me some of his Bantam Blue orpingtons as well! :)


I was talking to my dad about my chickens, and he's really cool with me wanting a nice sized shed for the birds which puts me at so much ease! I didn't want him mad about it, but he's cool with it so that makes me so happy! :) Things have been going so well for me, but in the back of my mind I keep worrying about layoffs. Things are only going well for me because my hubby works hard and makes decient money....however they're having trouble with finding wells to drill with the price of natural gas going down.....so it puts a real big damper on my happiness being TERRIFIED that my hubby may be layed off. I don't work so I cannot pick up the slack. I do not drive so I can't work. It's all frusterating and I just can only put my life and my hubbies live in Gods hands and hope things work out well. I have been trying my best not to worry....I have a feeling everything will be fine but I am a major worry wart...so this has been an issue to me. I almost dont want to talk about it even so this may be all that I type about it :).


I was on the computer today (suprise? LOL) and Toby my Golden comet roo figured out how to get out of the brooder, and roost on the top of it. I thought it was cute and I had no problem with letting him snooze there. About an hour went by and I noticed movement in the corner of my eye, here he had positioned himself and was staring direclty at me. I was like "...okay...." and turned back to my computer...next thing I know theres a wir of feathers, and he's on my back LOL! He flew about three feet and landedon my upper-back shoulder area and settled down for a nap. I thought it was the cutest thing ever :)


Two of my coturnix chicks from my hen Henny Penny and Roo Ike hatched. THey are sooo tiny and cute! I forgot how tiny Coturnix chicks are with hatching chicken chicks lately! LOL! The picture above shows just what I mean...those lil things are the coturnix the big yellow puffy thing is a newly hatched chick (that hatched the SAME day as them)! :) A gorgeous tuxedo chick I named Penguin, and a tibetan chick that I haven't named yet. :) I'll probably wait to name it until I know its sex. So I now know that tibetan is dominant over brown, and that white can be expressed through colors as long as the birds carry the white :D Henny Penny carries A & M (white) from her mother Big Bertha who is out in the rabbit hutch pen. :)
