i will make the time to take trips to pick up the spares lol kids can come along for that but no way im driving an hour to chase 7 kids around the beach alone lol

Yeah, I'm not willing to drive 20 minutes to chase 2 teens.... 7- no way!!

So, Chica- do you eat your flock at the end of the season?

I will only have abt. 5 Aussie hens that will lay eggs and I am trying to decide if we are going to keep the Aussie's next year or try a different bird? We will keep the EE's we have if all goes well. But I might like to try a lighter colored bird to breed with my EE Roo to try to get some pink eggs. A project I am researching.

I won't know for a little while yet what my EE's will give me as far as color. But I do know I want some pink eggs! Crazy I know but that's what I want.... I will love all the colors I get as well. I have some pretty EE's and a couple that are very fuggly. But I will wait and see what they turn out to do.
