I was nice chatting with fellow poultry lovers on such a gorgeous day! I'm excited to see what hatches from the raffle eggs! I didn't expect to win them all, but it was a pleasant surprise!

The Spitz pullets and chicks I brought are settling in after their long ride home.
The dogs slept almost all the way home, except for when I stopped. I found a great little Mennonite greenhouse with great prices, plus had a sale on delphiniums and foxgloves. So it was a great day all around!

Thank you for hosting this year. It is so beautiful out at your place. When you are ready for ducks let me know. We had a great time. The husband hasn't said anything about the chicks that I brought home. I reminded him that I didn't bring home an emu so it should be all good. I think he is more concerned about the 8 baby rabbits that were born that morning. I guess that worked in my favor.

I volunteered to have it at my house next year. I live a little south east of Syracuse... Unless someone else has their hearts set on hosting?

The hatching eggs are from my colorful egg coop. I have BCM, Legbar, Welsummer, Olive egger and 2 frizzle tolbunt polish hens in with a BCM and Legbar roo. You should hatch some interesting egg layers.

i cant wait to get the 6 pack in the bator that we got, right now we have 13 out of our 30 hatched so far one more pipped and another that seems to be struggling with a super hard shell that we are assisting with.

Sounds like your hatch is going well!
I hope you get a nice variety from my eggs and not too many roosters. I usually donate one dozen for the raffle, but between the hens not cooperating and eating egg customers, I had a short supply.

Sounds like a fun variety and the only ones I already have are at trio of Legbars and 1 Olive Egger. So, I'm excited to see what hatches!
And the chicks from the frizzle tolbunt polish should be interesting, especially if the Legbar is the "papa"!

----------
We spent most of today in the garden & I'd say 2/3 of it is planted!

Oh and wanted to say that in 2015 I had gotten Strawberry plants at Chickenstock from someone - forgot who. Well, I didn't start out with too many plants, but they are now around a big bed (2 5' beds + in the walkway between; can't remember the length of the beds). And they're blossoming already, so hoping for a big strawberry harvest this year!

I think you got the strawbs from me - they do get prolific!
