lol... I would never do that to my DH..

Hmmm, I might only ask for one coop! Really though building the coop was NOT his favorite thing to do, so probably would have to ask to purchase one! There is a really super cute coop for sale on Craigslist right now ... if it was not so obviously a chicken coop (because of neighbors), I would buy it in a minute!!! (maybe midnight delivery is possible)

He bought the clubs, so guess who is getting two new coops! When I say coops, I really mean pens. He's not a builder, but can slap something simple together. It's more than I can do.

What's with this cold snap? We have the chicks outside with a heat lamp, but I doubt a heat lamp can help much with freezing temps. I can't believe this, but I put a space heater out there for them. Never thought I would run a space heater outside all night.

Bob's Henhouse :

At least Gallo is looking for chicken eggs, I'm searching the internet for emu eggs.

Bob, are you telling me that is where this all leads to?

First Laree, now you! I saw one hatch on a live web-cam a couple weeks ago, it was neat. I was surprised at the sounds it made. I have to admit, baby emus are one of the cutest things out there.

CrazyerThanAverage, I think chickens might be better at chicken math than humans! I hope you get a green egg to hatch.

I'm off to search for eggs.​

Confession! Actually, I am counting down to the HS conference in Phoenix in July. I really hope to meet up with you. I always spend a fortune when I go to that, but I plan to stash a little poultry money. I'm hoping you can show me how to get set up with quail and sell me a few. I am looking for specific breeds to add to my flock (WCBP, BLRW, FBCM, and Ameraucanas) and Japanese bantams and a couple of silkies if my daughter wears me down. I know you have some of those. Anybody else having any of those birds or chicks available in July? Maybe I better build more than 2 more coops.

Oh, thank you! That is so helpful of you. I haven't even begun my investigation. I was dead-set NOT to get any more chickens until my girls were two years old (next year) and I've avoided thinking about hatching in any way. I see what it's done to y'all out there! I guess it's happened to me now too.

I'm looking forward to reading that thread. I'm so excited looking forward to new chicks!
