Thanks for keeping me up late!

goodnight!

Late? This is early!

Dream of schooling EmBb for me

I thought that said shooting EmBb.

I think it’s my bedtime too.

I agree.
But my assumption seems fair given that her mom had it.

I'm not discrediting your assumption at all! I promise. Seems fishy for sure and egg man seems almost reckless from your accounts of him. I was just making the point (probably a moot and unnecessary one) that mareks will always be around and can truly just show up with no known origin.

That is a good point

Lol! Be super excited! My biology professor got so annoyed with my constant question answering and asking of higher level questions than she was asking that she “muted” me.

Lol! We won't be muted! Honestly my questions are downright stupid half the time but I ask anyway then laugh about it later with my class.

Happy thoughts!

Do you have a barred rock baby?
In the back there.

My baby is no where near that fast lol. So cool to watch the working breeds trial tho!
You would learn a lot from volunteering at a trial held near you. They are always looking for volunteers

Oh yeah, I don't think most dogs are lol these are National champions at Westminster. I think they broke a lot of records too. The collies do seem to have a certain knack for speed though lol

It's always fun watching mastiffs or other such big lazy pups do it

I didn't realize it was possible to volunteer. That's a great idea!

A very good question. Eggs came from a mixed flock with Dominiques and Australorps among others. He didn't mention any BR.
Rooster is a mutt. I've asked for a picture, but it really doesn't matter. This is an experiment that I blame Kiki & @Ursuline Chick for and am thoroughly enjoying - many thanks to all who contributed too! I'm so happy for @Pugsabi ! She has more eggs than I.

So, I will honestly say, "maybe". "Could be". Anything is possible.

I'm fascinated by eyeliner on this chick.

Made the executive decision to put them in the tractor, with mother, for a week or so. Insurance, if you will. Also insures they will get food.

The 2 week old CX are 4 times the size of these. I really hadn't considered how much difference 2 weeks would make. A small puff of a chick compared to a fist full.

Was considering a used incubator like Kiki's. But this could also be a biosecurity concern. I'm back to home building one for quail this winter.
