Chickens... Our last hatch in the incubator only produced 5 baby chicks. *sigh* Both incubators are full and hopefully we will have some baby chicks in two weeks! Our Coop has a nice variety of chickens in it. We are only getting 3-11 eggs daily at the moment, which for a family of 8 we are shooting for two dozen a day! We use diatomatious earth to prevent worms and also to prevent mites on the chickens. We mix it in the feed every month and sprinkle it on the coop ground also. The well water here is not the best, so we add a splash of bleach to the water when filling it up. This prevents the hard water from building up and also helps keep our chickens healthy. For now here is a picture of our hatching chick! ~Denise

We have moved to Louisiana after Hubby was laid off from Gannett. Cajunland was the only place he could find work... Only was able to take 8 chickens with us, so we kind of had to start over! Hatching eggs and in my incubator and pics will be posted soon!
