^^^^^ LOL, very well written.

I'm here! Was up ALL NIGHT because I had the incubator in our bedroom and we had 6 hatching last night. Super cute Cochins. It was my 2nd attempt at shipped eggs and got 6 live birds from 18 eggs. I'm good with that. I paid for 12 but she sent extra. From day 10ish I knew I only had 8 live eggs but then I lost 2 during lock down. I'm happy with 6. The 1st shipped eggs (last month) I got 6 out of 12. Happy with that too.

Yes I am happy with the results.

The Cochins I had hatch today I had in the incubator trying to replace Snowball since I thought Steves was not a Cochin. So now I have 7 Cochin babies (including the new Snowball). That little thing is very well loved by Paige. She plays with it every day and it's very cute. Such a nice thing you and Steve did for us.

I am so addicted to Cochins and Polishes. Today I sold 6 of my mutt birds because I am "weeding out" the ones I can't breed. I still have a few mutts but the kids won't let me get rid of them. lol

I went through that "weeding out" process myself & gave away many feed store/hatchery birds. The only hatchery stock I have left is in my layer pen & I am going to be selling them off too. I have waaaaaaaaaaaay to many chickens now & pen space has become high priced real estate....LOL. If I don't stop hatching I will have to move out of my home to make room for them. Actually a whole new pen area is in the works.I need to get started on that.

Hi again,

I'm cross-posting folks, but we're planning the 2nd Annual BYC Get-together at the California State Fair! Wanted to give everyone a heads up and invite you all to come!

Here's the info so far!

Be there or be square!

I can't make it to the State fair but is anyone going to the SanJoaquin fair this weekend? It's free admission. Not sure if they have Poultry but we are going to check it out.

 

[mycutekitties]

The fair was fun. The kids loved it. The poultry sucked! lol
About 50 birds total and I didn't see anything amazing.
