Someone snatched them up... I'm always a day late and a dollar short.

Cap... the two that I sold to MaryAnn have also gone broody.

Do you need some fertile eggs? Two of my Marans just started laying... will pullet eggs hatch?

PM me.

Actually, only 1 of the two went broody, but she went broody TWICE - twice in the last few months. She raised some chicks and is now glued to the nest again - I don't even think she has any eggs or golfballs under her - she doesn't care, she's so dedicated. She's also a 'blue' Ameraucana.

Cheerfulheart: I'm sorry to hear about the fowl pox, I've got my finger's crossed for you.

Sock Puppet and dofnup: To be fair to my chickens, I'm only counting cash money going in and cash money going out, if I factor in the value of the eggs and the poop, it isn't nearly as bad. I lucked out, and was able to use an existing shed for the coop, so that cut my start up costs considerably.

If you say so...there was definately some nuttiness going on yesterday. Plus I may have scared Cheerful when I pointed out the bomb....

This history is not quite right, but you get the idea. FYI0 this is the ONLY bomb to hit American soil during wartime.

April 1929 – The Americans were watching the Cristero Rebellion across the border in Naco, Sonora, with a jaundiced eye. Because of the revolution, the Americans had built the first border wall in 1919 along Naco, in what’s now called Camp Newell*. Five thousand soldiers of the National Guard were put in place to keep the revolution from spilling over. Some things never change.

Drinking steadily in Bisbee’s Brewery Gulch, pilot Patrick Murphy decided he was going to help the Cristeros by bombing the Mexican Federal Army in Naco, Sonora. He kept a plane in Cananea, the Mexican government kept their own planes on the U.S. side.

I’ve never been able to determine if it was the liquor that did it; but instead of bombing the Mexican troops, Mr. Murphy bombed Naco, Ariz., marking the first aerial bombing the U.S. had ever suffered. The suitcase bombs, packed with three-inch pipes stuffed with dynamite and nails, didn’t damage much but did scare hell out of Naco residents.

An American motion picture operator was injured; the windows of the Naco Pharmacy, the Phelps Dodge Store, and other businesses were shattered. All in all, a pretty good desmadre from one drunken, revolution-fueled Irishman.

The mercenary did it again four days later, this time laying waste to the car in the above photograph (it belonged to a Mexican army general who’d parked it on the American side for safe-keeping).

Old Mr. Murphy was finally shot down by the Mexicans but somehow never arrested. Even when the Americans finally nabbed him, they let him go and no charges were ever filed.

BTW-My MIL is Maris Newell, hence the bomb in my entryway.​

Ditto. Agree completely.

Laree - I very much enjoyed meeting your family and seeing your amazing pad.

Crossing my fingers that the eggs arrive to Tucson Tofu still viable given our warm weather.

Mahonri - We were up on the rim Tuesday and it was windy and colder than expected when we were up high, other than that it was beautiful. I can't wait to get back up there for a big family camping trip next weekend!

Who has Pullets/hens for sale? Mahonri I assume the ones you listed a few days ago are all one of each breed? AZKat I saw that you already sold yours. I want to replenish after my couple of losses, I think I want to add three more.

It's official! The crowing roo is the Marans! Luckily he will be going to his new home tomorrow, before the neighbors figure out that a) it's a rooster, b) it's in my yard, and c) how to poison it or me

DH used binoculars to spy on the chickababes this morning, around 5 am he was crouched in our bathtub scoping them out until he saw the Marans crow ... he's persistent, that one

I read somewhere about a lady who had a silkie with a huge comb and wattles, she was convinced it was a roo then one day it laid an egg! So I am hoping that is the case with my silkie.

Tomorrow we drive down to Mexico (wish it was my hometown

) but it's just Puerto Peñasco. On the way there we will drop off the roo @NoSkiveez's and on the way back we get to pick up a new hen!! Yay!! Can't wait for this wonderful weekend to start!!

Picture Day, as promised!

Who will be more surprised if he catches it? The chicken or the Egghead?

Caught!

I was wondering why I had to fill the waterers so often...

A nice pic of Cinnabun

Salt turned into a Salty, didn't he? Roo?
