And I have a dozen Black Copper Marans in the cooker, due the 26th

Nice, mine still have to go through the mail process. Coming from the same lady that I got the Dark Cornish from. She packs them really well.

I was talking to @meltel today. She asked my opinion on a greenhouse. Turns out Target has some nice greenhouses that look like they can stand up to the harshness of winter. Of course, I see a great coop.

I'm building one with 2x4s and cattle panels; pretty easy. I'll PM her in a minute; she may be interested.

The quail are growing up quite quickly. Oh, and the broody has two chicks... I suspect the 3rd is DIS.

Quail are evil just sayin.... speaking of quail what happened to raphie?

How are quail evil?

No, it's tolerable. What befuddles me, though, is the fact that I've never had a heart attack. The bypass was to fix a couple arteries that I suppose would have eventually led to one.
I carry one card, but never use it as a credit card, per se. Whatever amount I put on it generates a direct debit against my checking account, just like writing a check or paying cash, except I don't have to carry either of them around. It's unusual for me to have more than $10 on me at any one time, unless I'm on the road.

Me too, debit card and cash, but carry a little bit north of $10 on me.

Did you find some good ones? I no longer have any adults, I sold the last hen and the roo found himself a nice home. Their kids are looking nice though. There are 4 nicely colored pullets and about 7 cockerels. I hope they do better than their parents. If not, I'm done with Marans for good.

I hatched out a bunch of English orpingtons a couple weeks ago. I had a group of blue and 1 lavender and a second group of chocolate with one surprise color. It's chocolate something? If anyone has any clue, please share because I'm clueless lol.

Right now, I have blrw in bator. SUPER excited for them!
