Yay! Glad to hear it! I set eggs under my broody today. Expecting fluffies sept. 10 :)

Congrats and good luck!

I already have 2 roos. Can't keep any more in the space I have. If we hatch more boys they'll have to be rehomed. The ones I may hatch are what we need next yr for 4-H. Hatching eggs from show quality birds are cheaper than actual birds. Also, if my broody raises them, I won't have to put a...

I started getting eggs the first wk of july. I only have one laying jumboish eggs. The rest mostly smalls. A few in between. Most of mine should lay med or large.

Welcome to the club! My 1st laid at 19 wks. The last closer to 24 wks. Hopefully you get eggs soon:)

I think they purposely keep us guessing. Lol trying to get black copper marans eggs to set under the broody. If i don't find some that'll work by saturday, I'll set a few from my own flock. We need marans for 4-H so why not hatch them if we can.. I had another soft under the roost and found a...

Glad to hear they are keeping cool. Welcome back :)

That's great news! Congrats! I have a very broody girl. Might set some eggs.

I found another egg late yesterday. Was weird. I usually get all my eggs early. As of last night, I have a broody girl. She's been trying to go broody almost since her 1st egg. I don't really want chicks right now. But she's such a sweet girl and seems to really want to hatch. She slept on a...

Newbs laying in the yard isn't unheard of. Hopefully, they aren't! That's great. Making progress always feels so good. You must post pics when everything is done. Congrats on the eggs too! I got 7 today but dropped one on the way to the house. I really need to either make a gathering apron or...

I have an EE that will stay in the pool nearly all day. I have started rinsing the sand and changing the water in the pool once a week. Twice if I have time. They started drinking out of it and sometimes eating the sand. Figured I ought to make it cleaner. They have clean waterers, free choice...

That's great! Lolololol

I used to cut all my noodles by hand. Roll them out and cut with a pizza cutter. I recently bought a pasta maker though. It was new in the box at a thrift store for $6. I priced one like it on amazon for $70. I havent tried it out yet. That's definitley a weird egg day! Out of 11 girls it would...

I think you said that wrong. You didn't need to say "over getting eggs" just CRAZY! Lol I am thinking about making noodles for the freezer. I had to promise not to use the jumbo eggs. Hubby wants those boiled just in case there are several yolks.

Thats awesome! My family prefers the yolks anyway.
