Congrats on the NPIP testing! I would like to do it eventually but I want my breeding pens built first.

Good luck! Excited to see pictures

Haha

To everyone else...I enjoy reading along with you on this thread. I usually don't say much because I always seem to be a day behind and I'm always playing catch up. I'm currently 7 hours behind. That's improvement! But I do need to go feed the birds so I'm going to fall further behind again. You...

I don't know everything you've been through but I have gathered it hasn't always been easy for you. I do keep you in my prayers and I have always appreciated your words of encouragement and kindness with all my chicken troubles. Regardless of what you are going through, you never have forgotten...

So sorry about your chickens. How heartbreaking Have fun with the ducks and post pics when the runners get here.

Lost one of my brahma babies today from a dumb mistake I made. I have the housed in a cage and when I fed everyone yesterday I apparently didn't latch their cage and they got out. My adult birds killed the little room but the little girl managed to find herself a hiding place and survived...

I'll be setting partridge brahmas and chocolate orpingtons. Checking fertility with this hatch.

I'm going to incubate some eggs for the EHAL

I want her, what kind is she? Been trying to get my husband to let me get a goose. Not sure what kind though. Is it ok to raise/house a goose with chickens? I don't have a place to keep them separated.

Will do!

@LittleLakePhil Just watched Bizarre Foods. What a beautiful part of the country! Do you call yourself a yooper?

They are one of my favs! So sweet and gentle, even the roosters. One of my goals is to have chocolate laced orpingtons too. I have a pair of chocolates and a pair of silver laced orps. So eventually I hope to have them.

I totally forgot about the EHAL. I've had my roosters separated for over a month. I just put my brahma hen in with my brahma rooster and my choc orpington hen with that rooster. Do you think their eggs will be fertile in time to set on March 26th? Sure hope so. Heremail is the unknown bantam...

Oh my goodness, that's scary! Sure hope they get it figured out. I'll add her to my prayers.
