i hatched around 70 chicks this past year, ended up keeping seven hens and one cockerel, i kept him to resell next year when hes older, hes a cochin frizzle, a mille fleur color, he daddy is a mille fleur cochin and his momma is a white cockin frizzle so i'm sure someone will want that youngster
would take a picture but hes at my friends house now, he takes care of them while we go and stay in florida for the winter, hoping that his chickens don't pluck him like the pair i had last year otherwise i'll have another rooster

That's cool I always like hearing about others birds!

You are very welcome!! And they are all pretty common breeds too except maybe the Partridge Rock and Delaware so TSC should have them in stock

They might get them different weeks though, their stock seems to vary a lot, but yeah.

And I think that’s a good idea! I would try that.

The Princess actually slept until 10:20. I think we are going to make it a 'lazy day at home' - watch the Patriots game and then go out for supper. I spent a lot of time in the field last week, and my left hip is complaining. A day off sounds like a good idea especially since it is miserable outside.

There is no need to feel bad. I do see what you mean it's happened to me a few times. Sorry that wasn't me with the pigs and cats. But I do have one orange cat.View attachment 1966433
Honestly I wasn't sure if I have met you before. There are so many people on this forum with so many familiar names.


sorry cell service cut out for a little while.

Okay good!! Lol and yeah I always just pretend I know them! “Oh hi good to see you too!” Then afterwards “who was that?”

Awww what a cutie!!!

and true! Hard to keep track sometimes hah

and it’s okay!!!

I hope you can hatch some and find some of the other breeds. would this be in spring or soon?

You are welcome to have as many as you want! We have plenty more too.

in a past life I used to be an engineer. I understand steel better than wood...

I am seriously delusional that the guineas will use the nests... but one can hope... LOL. The guinea partition is Ell shaped. Everything is built of Dog kennel panels. Easy construction with mobility issues.

Here are some sketches I did ... details.

Wow you seem like a vary smart engineer . I have always wanted to be an engineer. I would love to build my own high quality parts for tractors and such. I'm always blown away by all the intricate stuff in a store. I have a family to take care of I can't go to school. I do small engine work and crop farm so I'm still learning.
