Thanks. Always fun to find the first egg. Especially when not expected.

Great job!!!! I know how much work that is - whew! (Do you keep them solo, in pairs, or trios? Not counting growouts...)

It's always like Christmas for me - even when I have eggs coming out my ears, getting the first egg from a new pullet is such a treat!!!

Bread is almost done. Poopy diapers are soaked, rinsed, done with their first wash outdoors, and now are all draped along a fence to dray a bit so I can shake off the remaining pine shavings before they go in the washing machine to be washed and bleach. As soon as the bread is out and cooling, will collect eggs and start repotting some transplants (or, if I run out of time, just water them and do so tomorrow). Then Monkey's bath. Long day today - productive, but the thing I always seem to not have enough of is time.

Will you share your recipe?

I use a sourdough pizza crust anymore. It's important to use your hands to mix and knead it.
1 1/2 c sourdough starter
1 1/2 c flour
1 Tb olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
Mix and rest thirty minutes.
Lay out the dough/crust, and use butter as your "sauce". I add some cheese to the crust.
Cook up about a dozen eggs for a large crust, leaving them s little unset. Spread onto the crust. Add any meat or vegetables you want. Bacon, sausage and peppers are common. Sprinkle on some cheese, and bake at 400° for 20 minutes.

My breeders are in pairs and trios. I will start to separate the ones I am planning on showing as long as the are clean and healthy. I have some pet flock that just wander aimlessly with a couple LF pet birds. So glad the garage got done-I don't know how I would have managed otherwise. It would be so much easier if it were warm out. They get chilled so quick. They do love their baths though! I tried to spray a few and with my hand it wasn;t working so I went to bath mode and they did much better

My quackers have not laid in a while. Probably due to the three drakes dropped off.
Today I found a Muscovy egg in the nest box.
