There is broodiness and broodimess!  And Kari you got the latter.  Wow.  no worries about a heat lamp with those chicken hormones!

LOL last night I found the Icelandic underneath the turkeys - I'm a little concerned she'll suffocate. I'll try to move her to a cage and see if she'll either sit or break.

The show went very well!  Kaitlyn got BB and BV with her black cochins that she got from Craig.  She named them Martha and Henry.  The columbian bantam cochins she brought were placed pretty high as well.  

 

I got BB with my Ameraucana hen (trusty old blue 15) under both judges and same with my Welsummer pullet.  My buckeye pullets were competing against each other.  My RIR kind of flopped, but I figured.  She is the narrowest hen I have and the only one that was fit to show. If I can break the rest of them from being broody, then maybe I'll bring some others to the state fair.

 

The trip was fun!

We did okay.  Am readying for Galesville now.  Craig, are you attending Galesville?

Sent 5 adult bantam Orloffs off to CO this am.

Also got a second group of bantam Barnevelder eggs in the mail this am.  First eggs are due to hatch next Wed.  If I have good hatches I'll need a velder barn!

We didn't make it to Maquoketa either. A couple of our kids had things going on. Our oldest girl wants 4H project rabbits, so we'll be on the hunt soon. Any suggestions on freeze-proof waterers for rabbits? As transplants from coastal California we've never had to think about such things lol!

I guess I don't know anything about Gailsville.I think I am done showing until fair time. I cleaned out the coop for the Kalona Exotic auction this Saturday. Taking a pair of Columbians about 1 yr old, pair of Partridge about 1 year old, and 5 young Columbians. Sold 9 good birds on Wednesday also.  I am still hatching and need to make room for 100 more chicks.
