Did you make that cake? Now that was something I might have taken to bring home. It was very good. Now that I need more cake.
Oh and next year I'm bringing a Bingo game. We play it at thanksgiving with friends and have a great time since it's easy and everyone can play.
Well anyone who thought I looked ok without a cane yesterday needs to see me today. I've been up since 4:30. I've got the ice pack strapped to my back and have had it on my shoulder.
Chickens must wonder what happened that I let them out so early.
I have to go to the Fair today with...
Well we are home. Took care of the birds immediately and collected eggs. Lord have mercy I think one of my EE's is broody. I can't stand it. I may just give her come BR eggs. I've still got two other hens on eggs and the other maran still has one and I took her chicks and gave them...
At our age there is little of anything we need. Except maybe the jellies. We shall see. Two more chicks hatched a Del and an EE so now I'm up to 12 I think. Any suggestion on what to bring the birds in? What do those who plan on getting chicks, chickens bringing to carry them home in...
I have to ask. I was thinking of bringing a couple of pullets ,one Del and one EE for the auction. These don't have long to go before they lay, Is anyone up for that?
I'd like not to transport birds if there is no interest.
I also have some chicks that I might bring. These will be still...
Sorry I got broodies everywhere. My BM just hatched four out of six. I've got a lav hen who has chicks peeping. And I've got three more hens sitting on eggs in the half hoop. Two are just on the floor in a corner, since there is only one nest box.
Plus I've got 8 roosters total.
How can anyone NOT buy feed? Of course I complain about the price but I won't stop buying it. If I have to switch to save a dollar I will, but I hope I'm not forced to give birds away either. You can't substitute scratch since feed is mostly corn anyhow.
I have given birds away in the...
I've started measuring and mixing the chick crumbles with milk to stop the waste. I do have to make sure there is none left over though.
Tut, tutt, looks like rain,

I expect to put them in the Auction and it only takes one ticket for it to be gone. That's why I'm only bringing pullets. Lord knows we all have plenty of roosters.
My marans eggs aren't as dark as I know others would like, but if they were darker I wouldn't be giving them away...
I hear you on the grow out part. You have to keep them for some time to see if they are keepers or not.
As for bring birds to sell , you could post their pics here and see if anyone is interested. I drove for more than 3 hours once with 5 Dels in the car and the windows wide open. They...
The Marans are Birchens and will not be mutts. I only have two out of four hens laying right now. The other two are sitting on eggs. One thing about this is that I gave them non -maran eggs so I know which are the ones they are hatching and which to take away each day. The other two lay in...
My brother sent up some stuff from NC. An eagle votive thing and an Indian chief if anyone is into that kind of stuff . I expect to bring some stuff and Tab you can pick and choose any of it.
Since we've moved there is a lot of stuff we don't want or need. I'm sure there will be at...
I expect to bring a dozen hatching eggs to the meet for the auction. Some of them will be marans first year layer eggs..
I did buy a box of bubble wrap though and I suspect spring and fall to be optimal for shipping eggs.
