EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

Well, I wouldn't call them "city slickers", but a large percentage of us live in residential surroundings. For that matter, although I own 3+ acres I technically live in a subdivision. There are only 2 houses in my subdivision, and can never be any more, but because the parcel was for sale as 6 acres & I was able to talk the owner into selling me half, it's now a subdivision.

The mental city slickers. You can live in the middle of nowhere and still be a city slicker.

When you only keep enough food for a few days in the house, you're just asking to fall off that thar diving board.

She was scared. Plus, I was force feeding her. Wouldn't you bite too?

Definitely! Not to mention...

I've ordered Ameraucana eggs from a breeder. Wish me luck! Also anybody know much about English Lavender Orpington? I'm getting some later this week or next, and they all look the same to me. How do you tell which ones are the ones to keep? I think I'm going to bring home ten, and want to keep one roo, and the pullets. How long do you watch the Roos before you know which is the good one?
