@igorsMistress I have been saving my big egg's this week from the flock. I'm going to incubate them. I won't be joining the hatch-a-long's though. Might as well do something to preoccupy myself, right?

For sure.

How are you all holding up with this stay in place thing? I seen people going trail hiking on the new's and some were walking in opposite direction's. They weren't 6 feet apart though. I've been staying at home, and avoiding people. I do talk to my next door neighbor's over the fence though, as we have a fence to help divide us.

It's not shelter in place in AZ is it? We've been ignoring the news.

@igorsMistress They have been telling us that we should only go out for essential thing's needed like food and groceries. You can take walk's, but you should keep a 6 foot distance away from other's.

Oh well that's my life in general already.

Our current flock members, we no longer name our chickens because it makes them pets. These are all Turken crosses, some with Jersey Giant but others I'm not sure.

The dominant rooster. I had 6 roosters to choose from. This guy wasn't the biggest of the males. He was selected because he didn't try to rape every pullet in sight when the more dominant boys were removed and I've never seen him beat up the little guy like the others did. He never grabbed a pullet by the feathers just because, didn't try to sneak up behind me in the coop and wasn't constantly in my space when I went outside.

Here's the little guy. I hope to breed that nakedness into future generations.

The flock, one of the black pullets came from an egg I hatched from Fugly and his favorite hen Nyx, a black Nn

This was before we processed 4 roosters last weekend

The chicks. One is an EE we got as a friend for the older Nn who I brought home because it was alone. There were 4 hatchlings on8/17 but one was culled, unable to hold itself up or walk well and pipped too high on the egg to get out without assistance. I don't babysit, I'll help a little bit but after that they're on their own. The EE has two extra toes on the side of each foot that I didn't notice when we got it. They seem to be causing problems with walking so we're debating on how to proceed there. Possibly remove with a dremel, it doesn't seem to have any control over them and they don't move. Turken/Bresse cross for the Nn babies.

We have 3 eggs in the incubator due to hatch 8/25. One is a Turken/Bresse and 2 are Dorking/Red Ranger crosses.

Aww! There’s this one kind of Naked Neck I really like, the Showgirls. The Naked Neck Silkie crosses just look so weird!
