You betcha! I'd be happy to relay some goodies for you. Still not sure which day I will be going down, but I'll let you know as soon as we get something worked out

And I'm sorry you lost a baby, Lisa. That must have been sad to find. Angel is still having some issues with pasty bum, but I'm working on keeping her clean so that she's comfortable. I wonder if it's because some of those Wyandottes have such long feathers? I had read somewhere that sometimes you'd need to trim a Wyandotte hen's vent feathers to ensure that she can breed easily. With how long Angel's wing feathers are already, it wouldn't surprise me. And I figured out a name for the other baby. Stevie. I figure if it's a girl, it reminds me of Stevie Nicks. If it's a boy, then it's named after Steve Owen, aka the Croc Hunter

Cynthia, your new doggie has a sweet face! How old is he/she? And your son looks handsome. That's a bummer that you didn't get to see his date, though. Aww I'd have been highly disappointed, too.

So, I am so stupid excited right now! Last night I checked on my broody Marans, and she growled at me and tried to bite me. I actually thought it was pretty cute. "These are MY babies!" My boyfriend managed to sneak a picture of what was under there today when she got up to walk around. Check it out!

At least 14 eggs! Possibly 15 Does anyone else see both pink and medium brown in that? (I think I see pink in the middle, brown toward the back) I am pretty sure now that she's sitting on a stash of the BSL's eggs, as well as a few of her own. Today is day 9, I think. I need to go look up pictures to see what candling on day 9 looks like! And this along with the 16 they were hiding under some plywood, plus one or two eggs that have shown up in the nest box. I only have two hens. They're sure pumping them out!

Waiting for pics. Love the baby pics
Sphinx have you rehomed your lav roo or are you keeping him? Just curious. I think i am going to clear some boys out over the next week or so. It is hard, you kind of attached ya know?!
I picked up Phoenix' polish yesterday. Pretty good hairdo on that one! Mixed right into the flock no prob. I am thinking maybe boy....but the jury is out so it is worth a try. Love the polish. I thought about this last night and I have a plan....next year when I do the re-adjusting to my flock i think i want to go for 1/3 polish with a silkie or two thrown in there for the looks and pet aspect not the egg aspect, 1/3 brown good egg layers for the eggs for eating , 1/3 colored egg layers for the fun of the colors. There. Got it figured out. Finally. For today
So my other eggs are not doing much. I, being the oh so impatient one, look in the pipped one, and NO it is not alive. and it was not ready at all when it died.... AND there is waaaaay too big of a yolk sack in there, and it is Dark Green like forest green....ewwww not looking too good. Anybody know what that is about? I saw a dark yellow yolk sack before but not dark sticky green like this. I wonder about those others---going to keep waiting. No chirps. No pips.

Green, infection.  Died before it got all the way absorbed, I wouldn't want to absorb green stuff either. 

 Oh oh, how many do you have in there..when is the due date?  I hope you don't go through what I just did.  Still need pictures..company gone..pictures now.   :)

Sure, Lisa. It's not a problem. I should have enough room in my brooder, so I can certainly hold on to them for you until the weekend

(Psst, Cynthia. I know you've been busy, but could you check your PM inbox when you get a minute? )
