Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[sumi]

We are going to call a hatchery tomorrow when they are open. We will prolly drive there to pick one up. What kind should I get? I'm still trying to decide. I want a hen that will lay unique eggs.

Marans or EE's, hang on I've got chicken-egg-colour chart linked.. I'll go find it quick.

Sorry sparky but a big cat like that aint nothing to fool with. Once they find easy food they'll keep coming back. And without proper caging and training trying to trap them can end badly ...they can hurt a human bad, even kill with a single bite to the neck.

Rockashelle, sorry to hear of your bobcat troubles. I hope you find a solution!!

Snow chickens! My coop is open air and thought they would be a good breed for me. I've been coveting them for a while now. 5 are going strong!!!

Ducks are so cool. Can't wait for the pics!
