Hummingbird – Sand Spring Chesapeakes

Today we are joining 2 Brown Dawgs for their This ‘N That Thursday’s blog hop!

This is what she has to say about the hop,

A little of this and a little of that and everything in between…

“This ‘N That Thursday is for anything you want! Maybe you want to post about unrelated topics, or each topic isn’t quite long enough to make up a whole post, or you have awards to share, or you have one long post…anything goes! So grab the button and join the hop!”

Where o where to start, I have been so busy and have so many little pieces to tell you I don’t know where to start.

This weekend I put up my hummingbird feeder, I had it’s first guest and I got a picture of it. It was late in the afternoon so the color of the hummer didn’t capture like I wanted but here is the first pictures of the little guy. Hopefully I will get better pictures later.

Can you spot the little guy?

Sunday Morning we had a intruder, we woke up to a horrendous scream that sounded like it was in our yard. Got up and looked and sure enough it was in our yard. The neighbors peacock came down for a visit. I guess he thought we had a peahen for him. When I opened up the door he took off.

May 1st I got out our incubators and put some duck and chicken eggs in them to incubate for the next month in hopes to hatch out some birds for our training season. Ok the chickens are to go in the pen and give me some eggs for breakfast when older.

The incubators in my make shift hatchery on the table.

Chicken’s incubate for 21 days and ducks incubate for 28 days. The brown/pink eggs are the chickens and the green/blue/white eggs are the ducks. Here is a chicken piping the shell to make it’s way out.
