I am officially on lockdown now.

Cool! Beth is getting excited to hatch out more chicks this year.

We are also planning on a rubber chicken launch......Think water balloon launcher, but with a rubber chicken.....

Im not sure how big you want the chickenfest thing to be, but we could come up with a poster and anyone going to chicken swaps could have it up where people could see it, if you're interested.

I may be able to get a banner printed here at work if you provide the digital art file.

i can't wait to get off... i get my coops today.

WSmith I'm good with art. i can draw lo-go by hand but i am not good at digital art if you tell me what you are looking for, i can come up with some hand drawn lo-gos for you to use.

Beth is afraid of it being too big the first year...

I would be absolutely terrified myself. I'm sure it will go great whatever size it is.

I think what we will do this year is keep it to BYC folks and Windy ridge Friends. Also friends of BYC folks. That way we can work the bugs out without it getting out of hand.

That sounds like a good plan. It's good to get the kinks worked out with people you know.

I got a wopper of an egg today 77.4 grams. It barely fits in the egg carton. I am starting to find eggs in the coop area after not finding any in there since I have had my hens. I got a total of 5 eggs out of six hens today. I have a question about a hen coming out of molt. Is it normal for a hen that is coming out of molt to lay soft shell eggs. I have been finding a couple soft shell eggs in the nesting boxes about twice a week. My cochin is coming out of molt and has been not laying since late October. She sure did look funny. I am sure it is her laying them.
On a side note, I think i have a BR that is going broody on me. She was sitting on a couple of eggs today and did not want to come off of them. I will know for sure tomorrow. To bad I only have one hen, for sure, that is laying fertile eggs and she isnt even the one. I wonder what kind of mutt chick I would have on my hands if she were. White Leghorn rooster and a BR hen. the one laying fertile eggs is a RIR, same rooster. one thing is for sure. The chick would end up large. My leg horn is huge. About two and a half feet tall. My hens are small in comparison, including the cochin.
