Well since they know me soo well and they love me since I know a lot about chickens and a lot of people ask me questions they gave me a present.... Here's a pix and yes they were the last 2 and they are bantams im think Mille de fleur d'uccles and a serema

Did I welcome you? And, what's so funny? You have me laughing, and I don't know why.

I just looked those up, they are pretty.

LOL your post made me laugh out loud and I dont know why, must be because you were laughing at another post and didn't know why either .

The first load of call ducks is in the incubator! The Easter Hatch-a-Long has begun for us!!

So exciting!!! Call ducks are just the cutest little things, love there round little faces.

Looks like I'll be setting OEGB eggs now! My little bantam hen just started laying again after her winter break

Isnt it great that the hens are coming back into lay! Glad they are starting back up for you.

I had to switch gears a few times on what I was setting...first was going to be some of my own eggs, but no one here is laying yet, second was going to be some B/B/S Ameraucanas, but they too are not laying, so my HAL has been saved by Papa's Poultry! I've got a mix of my favorite breeds shipping to me today. I won't know the exact make up for breeds until I get my package, but I'm super eggsited!

I hope you get a good assortment of eggs!!! I would be excited too!!!

We don't spray our fruit trees. They are older, but we have plenty of apple trees, so we get plenty. Have a huge cherry tree that just keeps on giving. When we see the honey bees, we are pretty excited, because we know we will be getting fruit.

I agree. Bees are so important. We don't spray any of our trees or plants. We plan to get ourselves bees soon too. We have been taking a few years to learn all we can about bee keeping. I hope we can get them next Spring.

And that is why they get kicked out of the hive in the fall.

My bees are busily collecting pollen, as everything has been in bloom since early January. We haven't really had a winter here in CA. It's 75* today.

Im a little jealous of your weather and your bees lol. It was about 44 here today and I was like oh boy its nice out, almost like Summer. I guess 75 might feel a little nicer lol.

I will join!
I will be hatching a few Light Brahma and mostly Easter Eggers or Olive Eggers.
I need to set mine just a couple days earlier because we are having a buy, sell, trade at the Chicken Festival the day before Easter and there have been requests for Easter Egger hens.
