2 more new layers!!!!!!! I found a little stash of blue eggs cleaning today under the nest boxes. Absolutely has to be my 2 youngest EEs! Not much bigger than a silkie egg right now, but very pretty. I have a true AM rooster coming from a breeder hopefully this weekend. He is a gorgeous blue...
We have the barn about 1/3rd of the way clean. DH is going to start constructing breeding coops! Dad "gave" us the barn, and said he won't be needing it anymore. its a 63x40 and 14' ceiling, concrete floors. Ahhhhh no more changing oil in the rain! We are turning the 2-1/2 car garage into Dads...
We have a Rileys childrens hospital here that is so good helping the little ones through the trauma of a surgery. Its good they are acting on it, but so very scary! My thoughts are with you and your family.

You too cheeka
I gave up on my polish after several months of aggressive roos, low egg laying and multiple issues with them. We have old english and modern game as our bantams, and thats it. I have rehomed all of my smaller breeds, it just wasn't fitting in here. Loved the silkies and millies...
Really miss the thread! Thanks its good to be able to read it again. Cheeka I can't believe the house is still on the market, so beautiful there. W4W how are the adorable lil Serama? Hope you are getting much needed rain.
