I know someone who needs to rehome a handsome EE rooster. He is alone right now, so she is hoping to see him with a flock of some kind. Let me know if you are interested. She is in the NEK, but she may be willing to meet further away. Maybe I can even help to get him to Morrisville, or meet...

Yes, they were able to find some. Their rooster should be old enough soon, so hopefully they'll join the ranks as well. Chive, was this your first Vermont fall? Even though it was long ago I remember my first very vividly, but this one wasn't the best show since it was kind of drawn out. Up...

It stands for Front Porch Forum. It is a platform for a neighborhood forum, so you can submit a post and it gets sent out in an email list to other folks in your area that signed up. You get an email, too. Some guy in Burlington started it. I don't agree with all their policies, but it does help...

Wow, I hope it is only ten. Did you all hatch a lot of eggs? I know some folks that could take them for food, but I can't think of anyone wanting one for a flock, but craigslist usually works for homes. You can also do FPF if you are on there. Maybe we should start a campaign to convince people...

Thanks for responding. I can probably get some to them, I'm not super far, but then I have to have one of my customers wait. I feel bad doing that, but that customer already told me it would be fine. I had another friend that was looking for a bunch of hatching eggs last spring, but there were...

I was fooled, he looked female back then. Shows you there will always be curve balls.

Anyone close-ish to the Morrisville/Stowe area have fertile eggs that they would be willing to sell? A farm in that area is looking for a half dozen or so to put under a broody hen. Pretty sure I would need to connect you by email, as well.

The one that I am pretty sure was a roo hid under the coop one night with the one I knew was a pullet without my husband noticing. A fox found them. 😕 The last one I am still wondering about, but I was just going to wait till twelve weeks (2 weeks from now) to see any saddle feathers appear...

Did the one that cracked spill any of it's contents on the other eggs? That can cause issues. Hopefully they'll be fine.

I want Olivia. TY!

I had a buff orpington go broody 4 times in a Summer, even though time #3 she got chicks. She was a nut.

Have you been giving her the calcium citrate tablets? I would give a couple to her every day for the time being, till she seems over this hump.

It sounds like there is what is ideal, and what life can manage to pull off in hatching.

Weird. Maybe we should go around trying all the things people say not to do. 😄

All these pictured are pullets.
