I love how chickens beget MORE chickens! What kind of bantams do you have?

I was on a walk the other day and saw the cutest red victorian house with yellow trim. They had a flock of black bantam Cochins scattered all over the lawn. It made me think about having a flock of all the same color! I have a "collect them all" phase going on in the color thing!

I like a little bit of everything, too! My ADD won't let me focus on just one color of anything. Hence the White Leghorns I got on Saturday...now I have 5 white birds in my flock of 120 various others.

Wait a minute...step back. Silkie Frizzles?!?

Where can I see a picture of these?

Oh, and you are in step with me...ducks are on the February list AND I "might" be interested in hatching guineas. Right featherz?

Oh, and we can't forget those irresistable buttons! Darn those buttons!

Thanks Muggs,

I just put up a blog page devoted to the TVbator today! It is here - https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=70082-the-tvbator

It is a work in progress (both the TVbator and the page devoted to it), so check back if you want.

I have added a turner, a heater element and a wafer out of a Hovabator, a brick, 2 fans and a terrarium ultrasonic fog/ humidity generator to it since the original build! I am finally getting stable temps and humidity! We are so dry here!

I have added a LARGE humidifier to the room, which is a naughty, because my player piano is in there! Hatching is more important right now!

Ahh, how do I just now find this thread? I got chickens a few years ago for the first time, but that didn't go so well, so I started over again this Spring. Started with three, I'll probably have over 20 by Summer.

I think I'll be here for a while! I'll post pics another time.
