I've been keeping an eye out for the new thread. I can't wait! I have time to do a test hatch in my new "big momma" incubator I built and then get it cleared out to set NYD eggies! I had so much fun last time. I am super eggcited to join in again.

Oh my! They are gorgeous!

Yep, chicken dinner time here too. I'm culling all my older hens. I don't want to overwinter them again. Just can't afford to feed them, especially when they are hardly laying anymore. What are Pita Pintas btw? I've never heard of those.

We're having another NYD Hatchalong?!?!?!? Awesome! I'm ready to start working the kinks out of my newly built incubator, as soon as I'm sure the right roo is fertilizing my eggs. So I should have her revved up and set to race for NYD. What is super cool is I'll be hatching eggs from the Lav...

Nice! I haven't seen a pic of those before.

Oh my, he is gorgeous! And how awesome that he creates sex links with your hens! Those are some nice looking birds. What is that blue one at the top? She is lovely.

Thanks! Good luck on yours too. Seeing your pics make me want some silkies soooo bad.

@bantambury Your chickies grew up so nice!! Glad to hear they are doing well. Mine are good and so very lovely. The lavender orps that is. I ended up with two hens and two roos. The 3 EEs I hatched were all roos and have since become dinner... I currently have separated out one of the roos...

Great! Thank you! Now I can maybe stop obsessing about my little orps being behind the EEs! Of course, me being me, I'll just find something else to obsess about. I really have to get pics of my NYD babies. I am crossing my fingers that the RIRxEE will keep the colors they are...

That sounds like a good plan. Let them be with the flock until they become a problem and then separate them to finish growing out. I'll have to implement that. The two today got an express ticket to freezer land because they bloodied up my poor special needs cochin bantam's head pretty badly...

They make a very good chicken dinner! In fact I just processed 2 RIRxEE cockerels today. Wasn't planning to since it was really windy and cold. But one made me so mad I couldn't see straight, so they lost their cold weather reprieve. I have reached a very important conclusion though. I...

Well, the chicks from my first incubator test hatch are old enough now that I can tell with pretty good certainty which are boys and which girls. Out of 8 hatched I got 6 boys! 6!!!! They were supposed to be expanding my layer flock. I sure do hope these NYD chicks come out with a...

Wow. What a complete jerk. I can't believe there were no lawyers who would help you. Especially since the deal for the land had already been started. That's just so wrong. I don't. But have looked into cob and rocket mass heaters. Have been entertaining the idea of cob coops and a small...

Yeah. That's why I listed sugar last. When my duckling had trouble hatching and was really weak I went to the Rx to get some poly-vi-sol. But they don't carry it normally and had to order it. It wasn't gonna be in till the next morning, so I mixed some raw sugar with water to give him a...

Congrats! I hope #6 perks up and becomes just one of the gang as well. If you have any Poly-vi-sol without iron you could give him a drop of that. It really did wonders for my little duckling that had trouble hatching and was really weak. If you don't have any of that you could give him a...

Awww. So cute. Oh no. I am so sorry it didn't make it. I'll try to keep current on here and post updates. So glad you got some frizzles. They are gonna be so cute!! That looks like a really nice set up they've got there! I had one LO that would do the same thing. Sit directly in the...

Yay! Congrats! Hmmm. Thinking of it that way it makes a lot more sense. Yay! I hope they all get along happily together. I bet once Hawke gets used to it she'll be happy to not be alone any more.

Congrats! That is great! Oh my gosh! I absolutely adore this! It is sooooo cute. I especially love the cabinets. ° Thanks! None of the keyboard shortcuts for it seem to work with my keyboard but I can copy and paste it from the character map! The affluent towns allowing chickens more...

Good job!! Ducklings are so adorable.

Yay! Go broodies! Yikes. Opossums already creep me out, now they'll give me the heebee jeebees even worse knowing about that! I know when I was a kid on our farm the 'possums would kill and eat chicks and kittens if given half a chance. Our old farm dog had a serious hatred of them and...
