Thanks for the videos Inveigle & the notes, VS!
I was busy all weekend and missed the cam! I'm so glad I got to experience seeing the apple bobbing!
That footage is pure gold. Hilarious~!

I keep missing the cam of late cause I end up being away or out when it happens so I'm super thankful for all the pics being posted here! (Especially the close ups!) XD Thanks for posting them Inveigle and thanks for the pumpkin fun VS! Anymore gourds or melons for the chickens in the near future?

boohoo....I had to go to my in-laws and I missed the cam....again.
Any video clips of the 4-apple challenge, pretty please?

Yay! Thanks for the pumpkin party pics! (Love that Bloop photobomb!)
Did any of them try to jump into (or fall into) the pumpkins?
I had missed the cam by about an hour! Hopefully I'll be able to catch them this weekend!

Hey, I have a question for anyone who was watching Chickam on Saturday.

Apparantly we had a small plane go down in the small mountain range nearby, the pilot was killed.
http://www.ktvn.com/story/24928105/deadly-plane-crash-near-carson

I remembered hearing a small plane circling low and slow, it was loud, sputtering and sounded strange (but I never heard it stall). I heard it over the cam as well, and thought that others also may have. They are trying to figure out when it went down, but the nearest I can get is sometime between 1PM and 3PM that I heard it.

Anyone else hear the plane and remember about what time it was?

I unfortunately was in and out as well and didn't hear the plane. I'm sorry to hear what happened though. Gosh.
Sorry I can't be much help there.

ohhh....frizzles and americaunas~!!
It seems like Bear is trying to make up for all the non-egg-laying years! I tell my husband about it and he's goes:
"All the green eggs are gonna hatch and it'll zombie chicken apocalypse. Weedcat will be the first one to go down because, like in all horror movies, the sexiest person is the first one to go."

Getting ready to candle Hatch A right now, I'm going to try and stream it on the Chickam UStream channel. Fingers crossed for chicks!

:henget:
EDIT: OK, we have 4 viable, active, squirming embryos! Five more eggs are 'possible/probable' embryos, I should be able to tell better at the next round of candling on the 22nd. Four other eggs were duds that never developed--I did the breakout and all had good, strong shells and air cells, but 3 were infertile and one was fertile but never developed at all.

Hatch B will get it's first candling on the night of the 24th.

:dance: I take some of the possible/probably ones are the Bear eggs?

Submitting name: B.A. Baracus because they pity the fools

unless it's one of Bear's eggs. I'd name him/her Robinson (as in, "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me.")

Would that be ok?

So wait. 4 more Bear eggs. Does that bring the total to 11? 12?? I'm starting to lose count!

Aw, thanks everyone! :blush:
As for purchasing, I plan to hand over the print-ready artwork to VS and let her do as she sees fit with it. :3

As for the Cam-Jester, I'll see what I can do with that when I get the chance to. ahahaha~

Not a problem VS, you do what you have to do!! Being able to watch the cam, for me anyway, is always a bonus! Hope things have eased off for you now. (How's the back?)

As for the shirts & stuff, my husband and I actually have a zazzle store.
However, if you're up to it, I'd rather you run your own store (and make the money to keep for yourself!)
When you've created your store, we can find out which is the preferred file-type and send that file to you.

I love it! :keke:

In other news, I had an idea for an interesting thing for this weekend's Chickam...because giving the chickens new things to do is always fun. I asked 12_String to work out the tech side of it and we'll see if it works!

So glad you love it, VS! I want to make sure I had your approval first. :3
(Sorry about the high price of the shirt. Such is the pricing of these print-on-demand sites. I tend to make my purchases when they have sales XD)

and AHHHH! I might miss Chickam this Sat! Hope there'll be a vid or photos of the shenanigans!!

I do wish they offered it on a coffee cup, though...my Viva la Peep cup needs company.

They're doing great! Still bonded to each other and never more than about 6 inches apart, and come running over to us for pets and cuddles whenever we are out there. But very relaxed around the other chickens (even though Frosty is in love with Olive) and fitting in well. :)

uh oh, is this the making of a love triangle? hahaha...oh Frosty. Does CM have anything to "say" about this?

You can combine the names: Keaton D. Bones !

What does Cam do to him? How does HMKFP feel about the new Roo?

Holy cats, monster storm Friday and serious damage/no power everywhere, another storm moving in today/tonight, so no Chickam this weekend, sorry. We've been without power for two days and it might well go down again.

We are OK, the coop & run started to come apart in the 100 mph winds but 12_String fixed them. So the chickens are safe, if mighty pissed at us for allowing that wind/rain thing to happen. It's ok though, I had to clean out the fridge & freezer after having no power for two days and they got all kinds of goodies.

Chicken goodies FTW!

O_O

After all the chicken goodies they got, did they forget about all of the wind/rain happening?


Please take care!!
