I should be getting a dozen maran eggs from ChickyTocks sometime real soon. I am getting excited to set them. I just got done with my 1st htch about 2 weeks ago, and am already ready for my second.
We were still up to nine when I checked at lunch today hunt! These girls tend to lay a little later in the day lately. I'm hoping for at least 2 this evening but I've only been finding one a day...on a good day. Freeloaders!!!!
For the last 2 weeks I have been getting 4/day from my barnyarder variety chickens. And then I decided to start collecting so I can put in an extra dozen with yours, and then i am finding only 1-2 per day now. I think they know what I am doing... creating competition for them in the coming months... and adding more mouths to feed also.

But I got all 5/5 today so at least they aren't going on strike

Considering getting some lawn mowers (sheep). Anyone have a few reasonably priced lambs available in SE Arkansas? Need something that will help clean some fence rows so my Buckeyes can see the bugs under the brush!
