I'm glad you didn't!  The last thing I need is to be arrested for murder.  Could you imagine the papers?  "West Virginia man arrested for murder.  The weapon:  A Joke!" 

Maybe you would only get charged with involuntary manslaughter. Lol

Good Luck Hatchers!!!

I'm catching up after being away, so a bit late to this post, but....OMG, 23 DOZEN!?! How big is your incubator(s)?

Leahy 1200, 8 trays

I believe as everyone sets eggs they are supposed to PM Ron to give him the number set. Also I think for those that received shipped eggs, in the same num of eggs set PM to Ron also add in your location and the location of where the eggs were shipped from(that is for a different contest).

@ronott1 sounds like you have a lot a work ahead. Your a definite trooper and a great host.

That is for the Farthest Shipped Egg That Hatches contest.... For issues of privacy, participant's locations and egg supplier's locations are PM'ed.
(Just city and state, no street addresses)

LOL maybe but that's still a pretty hefty charge.

Here are some pics of our flock. Notice that the run is overgrown? Well, if you look in the top of the pics you'll see why. The high stalks help the birds to blend in from sky high predators.






The last pic is of our 4 newest babies. They hatced on 11/25/14. Their daddy is our BA aka Big Daddy Crow.
Unfortunately, we didn't keep records of the others' hatch dates.

But the above flock are the parents of the ones I'm hatching now. The cockerels you see in there are not the fathers of any of our chicks because they were recently added to the main flock and as I posted earlier Big Daddy Crow works hard to keep the boys away from even flirting with his ladies. lol

You have a lovely flock! I love the black/white/silver solids and patterns mixed with red!

Big Daddy Crow is a beauty! Any SOA fans out there with a roo named SAMCRO? Just curious.

I just thought of it and think it's a good call for a futurre boy. Don't tell me anything if you watched it I haven't even started season 7 yet.

Look what we got last night! At least someone here is happy about it...

ETA: we got snow last night...not Miss Bella! She's been warming our hearts and protecting our flocks for 2 years now.

Still waiting on the call from the PO about my eggs. The shipper had good reviews so am hoping she packed well and she said that she gathered them on Monday so I have that working in my favor. We have this really hard rainfall and to get to me you have to go over winding roads

that they are being handled gently and are well packed.
