Day 1 ....here we go again...48 eggs????

[Three Cedars Silkies]

Set 48 bantam cochin eggs today. Got them from 3 different folks and didn't have one broken egg in the bunch!! Only 1 or 2 loose aircells....the PO was good to me. I am excited to have a HUGE assortment...silver penciled, golden laced frizzle, partridge, barred, white, blue, black, blue birchen, columbian...what more could a bantam cochin lover want?? I was real careful to check out the parent stock so I anticipating quite a few really nice ones.

Well Gator Im still on the wagon

But good luck on this hatch. Keep us posted. Have you started buying feed by the ton yet?

Seriously! Our "plan" is to grow them out a few months and then select the ones we want to keep and sell the others. However, there is a saying about plans...and mice...and men...isn't there??

Joy1-You're suppose to stop when you run out of room? Now you tell me! It is those adolescents that were given to me that threw in a monkey wrench.

Thanks all...I think staring at eggs is sort of a Zen thing. It takes you away from everything else in your world!
