Well actually I have been saving eggs from the 'big girls' for that teacher where my niece teaches. I figure I am going to give her 7 eggs - that's more than plenty I think; and any Roos can be processed, but I don't want any Silkie crosses as those are just too small.

Sophia is a nice chunky girl and a Roo would have been a good size. Well always tomorrow's egg. I have a couple of Blanche eggs, another Penelope egg, and a few Buttercup blue eggs, and hopefully a Sophia egg... I will pick 7 eggs from all those to go in the bator (Penelope's for sure).

I have never seen such a thing before - the shell came away leaving just the membrane! If it were me hatching them out I would 'repair' the shell and hope for the best.

Anyone else ever see this?

Not I

I walked in my bedroom and saw my cat and chicken snuggling, she fell asleep partially under her belly.

Kiwi loves the chickens, she rolls on her belly when she sees them and is quite fond of the baby chicks, i would never intentionally put them together just because animals are unpredictable, but it was quite cute, atleast i know i can trust her if something ever does happen and she gets out with the chickens.

What breed is this roo? My friend got him as a chick at TSC.

Oh yes indeed I have. I really loved them and their antics. I think they are for me what Leghorns are for Bob.

They were special ladies
