 I have been married to Jason for 9+ years, and we have 4 children, with another due in late June. Olivia is 7, Sophia is 5, Rylan is 3, and Declan is one.

I started with a borrowed Little Giant incubator and 2 dozen mixed color Silkie eggs that I bought on Ebay about 2 1/2 years ago. Out of the first 2 dozen eggs, I had 3 chicks hatch-1 died and the other two needed help to hatch. I started searching for how to help chicks hatch and found BYC. Now, I am a hatch-a-holic!

 Currently we have 3 Royal Palm turkeys-1 tom and 2 hens, 2 Silver Appleyard ducks-MacIntosh and Granny Smith, 6 B/B/S Orpingtons, B/B/S Silkies, and "Mr. Bojangles" and his 4 ladies-Mille Fleur D'Uccles I had the priviledge of acquiring from Rob and Kathleen "Schultz" back in August.

In addition, we have 2 cats, a little Dutch bunny named "Cotton," and 1 Golden Retriever. Maggie is retired from breeding and is 8 years old. I am a stay-at-home Christian mom to our children. I love baking, cooking, gardening, canning, sewing, and oil painting. I also love animals, and am still waiting on the chance to own my first horse!

Mesha Robbins let me know that you have Legbars... have just started my Cream Legbar program. Would be interested in any info you have on them and where I can find more. I have a roo which I obtained from Blackfoot, Idaho and a hen that hatched from an egg in Ogden, Utah purchased straight from England. The 'England' hen was given to me along with an ill roo. The people had a dozen eggs sent and only 2 hatched... a roo and a hen. Since the roo was ill she just couldn't handle the stress of all the money she had paid for eggs and then not being able to breed them; she gave them to me to try my luck. The roo passed shortly after and I spent plenty of time looking for a replacement, which I recently did. Look forward to hearing from you.
