Are you putting those eggs into long term storage? What method are you using to preserve them?

Now this is an interesting question

All I know is that Sir Jaffar adopted them as his own:View attachment 3810435

The world is full of small unexpected blessings. These chicks are a blessing to Jaffar. I am sure they are a source of comfort and a newly given purpose to him in his twilight era. We have all known for a while now he was special. To see a elderly blind rooster who has to ones knowledge never been around chicks before adopt them, that shows just how special he is.

I suggest a Polish Roo - Mr P is a darling very quiet with the ladies. And doesn’t flog me like some Roos who shall remain unnamed - right Teddy?!

Silkies are not always sweet and gentle. I can only imagine what the offspring of him and Marty will be like!

Marty and Teddy's offspring shall be perfect little spitfires, or he!!ions. Sass, so much sass packed into a perfect tiny preferably black poof of a pullet. Mark my words.

Well the little fighter is still with us. I am pleased but also quite surprised. Her one eye remains twice the size of a normal eye, I am quite concerned about what will happen to it once we begin integrating. I have a bad feeling about it getting pecked but probably useless to borrow trouble.

The Ameraucanas are doing very well and are growing much faster then the jubilees, they also have incredibly long wings and already fly quite well. I. Am also now unsure if they will be black or dark blue. Two have sprouted tail feathers one has not. Idk if there is much truth to that indicator of sex though, .

Names -
Tiny fighter - Ryka for the female boxer with the last name Ryker

Other jubilee - Quill perhaps (or something to do with books, open to suggestions)

The three ornery and exceedingly energetic blue or black Ameraucanas, I could use some name suggestion’s. I was thinking perhaps something to do with crystals or rocks quartz, granite, basalt that sorta thing just something earthy.

If you leave "-ite" off of many of them, I think they'll sound better saying them

There are sooooo many options....

The little jubilee: Quill certainly works. If you're not 100% settled, then Scroll, Parchment, Folio, Margin, Vellum, Vignette

For some ideas. You've done some unique names already, enjoy browsing through those....and the rock discussion with the kids. Most of the rocks are clickable to learn more about the specifics

We have a high wind warning here as well.

It's so strong right now that the current went out twice already.

Quite the bunch!

Well now that’s exciting Hubby is getting hit by math hard!!

Make sure to check the Roos over and quarantine- it’s not worth bringing in disease.

Yes I have a couple things I could use as a quarantine. Broody jail or the brooder pallet thing I made. We haven't turned that into a compost bin yet haha.

We Use them up within days so no. Since there is 10 of us in the house we eat 10 eggs in the morning plus baking during the day.
I'm getting 17 a day.
