:)  I know.. Lol.  But in my defense.. the guy I bought these from.. I wasn't going to buy anything. We were getting ready to leave. Then we got to talking about 4H and how he shows about 200 birds each year and is also one of the judges.. blah blah blah.   And he was trying to talk me into it saying they were a good pair.   You know how it goes.  This is a breed I've wanted, and he's reputable, so I figured... might as well know where they're coming from!

Great Choice!

Oh man. Okay, I'll do that.  I disabled the feature so I don't see sigs.  Makes my computer run a little faster that way.

Be back later, gotta go get some eggs packaged up and ready to go for tomorrow morning.

Yep.  I've allready paid her.  (DH and I were out for dinner)

Did you see my posts?  One of my bators got unplugged (I thought it had quite) but the cat was in the room, and screwed it up.  Anyway, it was the bator with all 6 goose eggs due in the next 72 hours, and it was off for like 3-4 hours maybe.  They temp was down to 94 or so.  Will the eggs be ok?  I can't really see movement, but that's not unusual for me.

1 Lav. Orp pullet

1 Auburn Java (pretty sure it's a roo)

3 Swedish Flower hens.. (not sure yet on sex)

7 Black Javas (not sure yet.. )

The new Silver Laced pair.

um....That's it for chickens.

Ducks:

Ancona Pair
