Thanks for the support! I was shocked today to see that there have been in excess of 5000 views of this thread thus far.

Its a fun ride. I have crazy plans and am having fun sharing them. Mrs Oz checked the thread - she read to make sure the pictures she took yesterday made it - she commented on how much my plans are growing - I got a little worried but with a mile on her face said: dont forget the coturnix. I guess I am still going forward

Yea, crazy chicken lady, that's me

What's funny is that my boyfriend moved in about a week & a half ago & I already have him just as hooked. I didn't find a chicken enabler, I created a fellow addict

He was sitting here next to me on the bed this morning with "HIS" chick Maxi sitting on his chest & then in his hand. He would flip her on her back in his hand & say "dead chicken" & she would close her eyes & go limp. She's 2 weeks old & he has her trained to play dead already

As for that table, here something like that would cost a fortune!!! It's absolutely gorgeous. I love it & I'm jealous! Now you really DO need to build those cottages for me & Sally.

As for the quail, if you head this way to get the puppy from Sally, I can hook you up with quail & Rainbow layers BOTH

I thought I would unsubscribe once the hatch was over but I am still here, lurking about. The thing about your table... How did you get a ring that size to not check? Erm, crack around the edges as it dried? I have a huge oak tree that needs to come down, and would love to make a coffee table like that. But I am afraid it will check. Not that it's a problem, but I would like to prevent it if I could. I just noticed that you are missing an adirondack chair on your beach. . When I visited Mexico a few years ago, I had a good laugh when I went so far away and there were adirondack chairs (designed in my area) on the beach! Made it feel more like home to sit in an adk chair and sip a cocktail under tropical shade trees so far from where I live, lol.

Lovely photos, the birds look great, and thanks for sharing your story with us.

I've done a bit of reading and it looks like it's not as bad as you think to import to the US even. Just expensive! I want Croad Lanshams and was curious to see if I could get eggs from England. I'm not sure if you could just put them in carryon here though!

if you want to find out about importing from England then you need to find a member on here named Renie

search for English orpingtons on this site & you will find her

she has 2 lines of inported English orpingtons

lets just say that there are only 2 lines in the country for good reason

it's really tough


good luck

i wonder what the locals will think of your fat chunky chickens when they are all grown up (considering they are so used to seeing the local birds)
