Ron ,
I got some Cream Legbar x Crele Penedesenca eggs from Deann today.
She showed me her first two eggs she got from her cl x cp pullets.. Nice speckled DARK olive eggs.. I tried to talk her into taking them too but nope

The two Barnie OE eggs looked like that too. I hope at least one of them is a pullet!

I hope they will be fertile!

Just to give you a little preview of how cute Langshan chicks are, here are pics of some of mine when they were days old.

It's a sad day here.  A neighbor's scroungy, white, terrier like dog got into our backyard this afternoon.  It had our blue Isbar cornered in the garden.  I yelled at it and our dog chased it to the fence where it squeezed through a 4 in. high hole.  We blocked the hole and began checking on everyone.  Astrid was scared but seemed to be okay but Monet's favorite white Polish, Marshmallow, was missing.  We found a few white feathers on the ground but our Coronation Sussex was missing her tail feathers so those could have been from her.  Maybe the dog came over, snatched our Polish, carried it home through 2 yards, and then came back for seconds.  Why is it always the favorites that bad things happen to?  RIP Marshmallow!

I hope marshmallow turns up.. I'm so sorry

I sure hope she is laying low somewhere. I hate loose dogs ..grrrrr.....

Hi everyone! Just checking in, working over 50 hrs a week is exhausting but Tis the season! I finally got to spend some time with the chickens, doing chicken chores on Sunday before work. It was our new puppy Kate's first chicken chore day. She chased a lot of chickens and my big roo tried to fight her but she thought he was playing and she's really quick so Big Daddy went running off, totally defeated! When I was done with my chores look where I found the puppy....guess she liked the fresh shavings.

PetRock. I am really sorry to hear about little marshmallow. That is a very pretty chicken. I hope tomorrow you will find her

BigDaddysMom. Your puppy is hilarious.

Hey Ron. Good luck with this Marans eggs! Might you know anywhere or anyone who I can find a few FBCM layers? I need some for a project.

My bielefelders got shipped today. I got a phone call from Jenny Bradshaw this morning. She's a really nice lady. They should be here Thursday morning. I'm really excited about the bielefelder. I feel very privileged to work with such rare genetics.
I want to eeep them very very safe. I am thinking about building some sort of indoor coop in my garage for them with the hardware cloth coops I got from Miss Molly.I'm going to start a thread just for them documenting their growth weekly.

2013 is gonna be a fun year!
