I am. I'm not posting much since I don't have a ton going on right now. Aside from being in lockdown on a test hatch.
Raz! whats hatching? silkies
I gave up on and sold them last year. Actually, I sold a lot last year and in January. I now have the fewest chickens I think I've ever had. I'm down to 5 and 3 of those are roos. The eggs are a mystery cross. I know the hens are Black Australorp (Jazzy the 6-year-old) and BA/ Production Red (Henrietta the 4-year-old). The daddy could be White Chantecler, EE, or WC/BO. Turns out that not only can the girls keep up with a younger hen, they have 100% fertility. We'll see if they hatch with any problems due to the hens being a little older.

Oh, and this week I have a bunch of mystery eggs coming in from Meyer and in April I'll have Isabel Orp eggs coming in from MPC.

Next up, Brahmas....
Had to read that twice; thought it said Brinsea

So yesterday, I made the mistake of looking up eggs on ebay...I'm now expecting some blue birchen brahma eggs next week lol. Hubby may murder me lol. I may just blame someone for sending them to me seeing as how I have both eggs from @sally sunshine and @fisherlady in the incubator right now. THOSE he knows about lol

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, whites

i'm a day late here (DW & I both fighting the flu), but I'm gonna stick my nose in here, anyway. You don't have enough info to make an informed decision as to which rooster will best fill your needs. If I were in your boots, I'd go with whichever bird has the most hits on your wish list.

Hope you feel better soon. It's been trying to make its rounds here. Hubby was sick all weekend and I've been staying to get some headaches and congestion :/ Hopefully it doesn't stick around long for any of us!

Isn't it like super dangerous for certain people to have the flu? Like ones that are older than some of us, and just had heart surgery? Doesn't that easily turn into pneumonia?

It is super dangerous for people around me when I get the flu, I become super grumpy....but only because it is a proven medical fact men get sicker and feel sicker than women. That is so unfair, I wanted to protest it, but coud not find a place to put my sign amongst all snowflakes protesting my right to speak at the local college and protest hall.

They said the thought of an old man with the flu was to disturbing to them to handle, so they shut me down...
