I'm getting ready to stick some TJ eggs under my BA too. She went broody right after this discussion.
They are also only 4-5 days old. I'm hoping for some mellow(for a leghorn) egg laying machines.
I candled at day 6 and I had 2 with some veining and 3 with lots of veining! I'll check again at day 12 and get rid of the duds. I'm really hoping that all 5 make it to hatch.
[COLOR=333333]Not chicken related. However, I'm so excited [/COLOR][COLOR=333333][/COLOR]to be one step closer to my vision of self sustainability[COLOR=333333]! I picked up a young buck today. Already have my two does. That are 9 months old. The guy says he's 4 months old. (I was shocked when the owner turned the little guy over and I was able to tell "without a doubt" that he was a buck) Good Lord. I'm told he's New Zealand mixed with Californian. I have him in quarantine right now. Poor thing seems so nervous. I think he'll be fine. His temperament is calmer than my girls when picking him up. He looks like a shrimp compared to my 10 lb does. The guy says size shouldn't stop the little bugger and he will continue to grow. I was surprised to find out that this guy kept all his rabbits outside in our triple digit weather. They appeared fine and healthy. Several were running around the back yard seemingly happy as could be. There was plenty of shade, green grass, a misting system and dog bowls full of water. Bunnies of several sizes and colors were available. Because he let them free range in his yard, he had a couple of surprise kindlings. He thought it would be too hot for that but… I am hoping he gave me a hearty guy as my first breeding buck. We'll see in a month or so. [/COLOR][COLOR=333333]

You can make LA in 8, even in a Volkswagen.
Guess who is going to be in Las Vegas in early October? If anyone wants me to pick some up for them let me know.
