I'm ok with it... I think I bit off more than I could easily chew... I want them all! LOL! But this way I'll be able to focus on the few breeds I do have.

It's ok.

I definitely understand biting off more than you can chew! I'm terribly predisposed to that condition. Sometimes, though, it is SO nice to just SIMPLIFY!

I understand too! I want to breed two breeds, Orloffs (and someday the MAHOGANY ones) and Norwegians. Other than that I want everyone else to lay eggs, and I'm going to start breeding Rocky to the heavier girls and see what I get for size and growth when I hatch.

Those are some fantastic looking moose!

The Big Girl Gang is still not happy having the two new chickens around. I'm thinking about breaking up their gang of four and then reintroducing everyone in about a week. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Holy CRAP what a busy day! Been non stop since we got up and still doing things.

Donna - Not gonna make it over there today!

And got my BBS Silkie eggs today, will set them in the morning and wait til I show you the pics of how they were packed... AMAZING!!

 

[Mrs MIA]

Good luck with your hatch, Bonnie!!

 

[Wolfwoman]

Thank you! The auction was for 8 eggs and she sent 11

Should increase my chances!

And silkies are easy to brood indoors during the winter, since they're so small.

Tori is a Rubbermaid bin large enough for a Silkie mama to brood in? I already have 2 bins that are in the house slated for babies, so I could easily convert one to a brooder box.

While she's setting, yes. After they hatch, she will want room to move.
