Lucky you! Hows the weather?

Unfortunately she is hatching for herself this year but "might" let me have some eggs later.

Candy, I have a friend who lives in Arizona, and planning a trip to the Bay Area this summer. I will let you know when the time gets close for she might be able to bring eggs up for you provided that they don't live too far apart.

I am looking forward to this weekend. Some of the chicks you will be hatching will be mine

Do you know the sex of the Marans when they hatch? If so, I would like to have them as soon as possible. They will be my first chicks for this year.

Lual, that is a very nice offer about having your friend bring eggs from Arizona! I will have to see where this person is located.
Yes, the chicks can be color sexed at hatch so I will know right away which ones are pullets.

I will let you know as soon as they hatch.

I have been looking for a good quality line of W/BW Ameraucanas to add to my line. Her birds are doing well in the shows.

need two new interviews. the other two never responded.

info needed to know: some about prop 2 (humane treatment of battery hens)

after that please answer these questions:

1. Will this law really change how chickens are/will be treated?

2.What will happen with taxes if they are used to build new facilities?

2.Will this law really be able to make a difference?

4.How will this law effect the economy?

5.Will this effect all of California or only areas near the facilities?

6.What about out of state import of eggs?

7.Will the law effect backyard chicken owners?

8.If the law effects other states will it effect their economy as well as ours?

9.What plans are in effect if there were to be a disease breakout?

10.How is this law flawed (if at all)

thank you in advance

Whiting has the base stock of the Arkansas Blues and he also has a green egg laying breed.

Not to sound one-note, but I don't suppose there is any way his Rhode Island Whites have rose instead of straight combs?

Wish I could help, but that covers quite a bit of economic predicting that I am not qualified to make. For in-depth questions about disease control protocol and economic domino effects, you may have some luck emailing animal rights' groups who fought for the bill (also, the groups representing the batteries that resisted the bill), journalists who have written articles about the issue (the more local, the more likely you are to get a response), local farm animal sanctuaries or rescues that have worked with battery hens, or maybe even seeing if someone from your schools' ag or economics departments have a few moments to speak with you? Tailoring the questions more to what your interviewee could be considered and 'expert' on will get you more responses too, in my experience. Can you tell I had to do several assignments of this nature while in school?
