So lovely to meet/see you all! And thanks for the amazing birds...

The silkie mix and marans mix chicks AND the adorable easter egger I got from you guys too are all settled into their "foster" home with the two easter chicks I rescued a couple of weeks ago! If you think of it, can you remind me how old they all are? I believe the silkieX and maransX (from Tammy) are around 3-4 wks and the easter egger (from Caroline) is ~3 months? The two lighter/younger ameraucana chicks went to another "foster" home with some chicks I picked up at the NEBC show yesterday.

April, those wheaten ameraucanas are SO SWEET and their eggs are SO BLUE! I definitely would love to get more girls from you and your daughter whenever you are thinning out your flock, so let me know! (And we get our coops from a guy up that way, so could easily combine trips)

And jerseygirl - the Alsteirers are super neat. Not the best for some of my clients that are looking for more docile, kid-huggable birds, but great for folks who want something a little more unusual and have the space for them.

All-in-all SO MUCH FUN!

Thanks everyone - see you next time!

Could you post a picture of the eggs you are getting? Sam thinks she sold you her best blue layer in error. Nothing for it now, just curious.

We have a strick "no live birds in" policy for bio-security. I know she came from here, but you get what I mean. Thank you for the sweet offer. With 12 hens left Sam will continue to breed them. We continue to breed toward standard and dark blue egg color.

I wish you were closer, we could hatch those eggs. They should be fertile for a couple more days.

Thanks for the offer. We are hatching one more batch this spring that we set last night. You can check with me next month and i will let you know what comes.
