Standard issue Speedy Gonzales on an Omega Barenia leather NATO for today...and today is my 53rd birthday so I'm celebrating by wearing my grail watch that I received from the family two years ago for my 51st birthday...good times!
This is less about watches than it is about chickies. Babysitting chicks today. Mrs. noelekal brought home three Ameraucanas and two Rhode Island Reds from Tractor Supply yesterday afternoon. Looking to possible replacements in the coming year as our original hens are getting on to be four years old. Mrs. noelekal is wearing a '61 18kt gold Omega Ladymatic in this photo.

Only place were the A/C isn't blowing directly and where a measure of heat may be retained. Internet says day-old to week-old chicks need 95F. We're only managing 85F with these and they seem to be thriving. Any problems with this that you chicken people can see? We've not done the "raising-from-chicks" thing before. I'm heading out the door now to go to the feed store for proper feed. They've been eating crushed oatmeal since yesterday evening. May look for a red brooder light while I'm there. Nothing like getting your eggs for $5 each, amortized.
