I just found out that I'll be getting my first incubator this Christmas! Weeee! After I've practiced hatching a couple of times I reeeaaally want to get some Iowa Blue eggs to hatch. Yay! That is all. Sorry for my outburst :lol:
:lol: That picture is great. This is why I love chickens, all their silly little personalities. I'd love to see her being followed by a bunch of cute little chickies.I'll keep my fingers crossed for spring! Thanks for all your help.
