I like your thought on a farm name, but I also feel if you have to explain the name then maybe you need to rethink the name. If you are local market focused then many are likely to "get it" though.

Most dont pronounce our name right its K not C  ..........Celtic (like the Celts of old world Ireland and Scotland)  not Celtic (like the Boston basketball team) but I just ignore the miss prouncing and keep right on going lol


Oh got word from the stamp company they CAN work with our logo!!! So stamp is ordered

I'm open to suggestions on names from any of y'all.

That's awesome that they can replicate the logo! I wasn't sure they would be able to get that much detail in it.

aluminum actually doesnt show up on x-rays. Hubby was telling me how they had to scope a kid who swallowed an aluminum pop can tabto find it. They did x-rays first and it never showed up. His team came in and found it right away and removed it. So not too sure what if any protection foil gives to eggs.

Quote: I am pretty darn excited about it myself. They had to do some work to it, but most would never know it had a retouch and removal of some detail.

I am aweful on names, ours was easy. Scotch Irish family living on a farm dotted with big souther oaks

We became A Different Chick Farms. We were months trying to come up with a name to get the tax exemption and finally agreed upon this one.

It's a good thing everyone has different tastes! Some of my friends think I'm nuts for keeping chickens! And others think I'm nuts for having four big dogs, for raising my own wool and spinning my own yarn. Those dolls aren't my cup'o'tea, either, but to each their own. I think they are creepily cute, but would not sleep well with one in my house! LOL!

I love how eclectic this group is, and that we all come together over chickens!

Whoop! Another spinner!!!!

Ok...so I am going to write a book, "adentures in absurdity: how chickens took over my relatively sane suburban life". Here is one story for the book.

A women contacted me who really, really wanted a roo. She lives in wisconsin. Well my work is closer toher than my home, I agreed to meet her before work with s chick. Well, we agreed we would do this today before class. SSomehow the signals got crossed and she did not appear for her chick. Now I have a little chick, no light and I have to go to class. So I try to sneak into the building and ran right into the campus director who promptly said "kristie, are you chirping?" By now I am late, so as I am runnibg I muble something incherent about a mistake before class. So I get class, of course today of all days, accreditors are visiting. I think, ok....I just have to keep a low profile. So here are my students, keeping the chick warm while I am teaching. Because this is my luckiest day ever, my class comes up randomly to be observed by both the accrediting team and the director. God love my students. Now in addition to keeping the chick warm, they are now hiding him under the table teying desperately not to get "caught" with the bird under the table and my campus director gives me a very distinct look that I interpreted with only little humor, "so kristie, whatcha gonna do now"? Though, my students were increfibly good at hiding the little roo and keeping him happy, I also knew the lady I wss giving him to was about to show up in the middle of class so I had to very delicately explain the unusual mess. It is a good thing they had a sense of humor. Not one of my proudest professional moments!

That's just awesome! What a great story, maybe your luck will roll and winter will break too!

We became Rock Pillar Ranch since we're on Rock Pillar Rd. Boring, but it will make us easy for people to find us down the line. We have rock pillars at the beginning of the road, but we want to build a pair on the driveway too. Rocks are a but pricy, so we need to go a hunting!

Free is good, but that sounds like lots of work. Did he give you a time limit to have it picked up?

I'm so happy they arrived ok! The USPS took its own sweet time getting them to you. Please let me know if you notice any difference in development or hatching since I lined the box with foil. I've heard it helps to prevent embryo damage from x-rays, so that batch is my experiment. I figured it would be a good comparison since you have some of the same breed from me in the incubator.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Something else hatched, but I can't tell if it was one of your eggs it mine. Eyes are getting too tired.

My neighbor wants the corn picked up so he can plow. The soil is perfect right now, so I need to hustle. I'll get the kid out there after school and hopefully get it finished tomorrow. The wild turkeys are sitting up the hill gobbling at me because I'm in their way. I say oh shut up and go eat so e acorns

Hi peeps!! My goodness, I have chicks coming tomorrow. More then I had planned for but more is always better, right?

COF, I didn't ask them about my logo. I just ordered it. So we'll see what they can do or if they can. It's not really that intricate.

 

[TNBEARCHICK]

when it come to rare breed chicks... more are always better.

Yeah, I agree. Got 7 eggs shipped, 5 went to lockdown, 3 hatched and 2nd one just died for no apparent reason.

1 chick out of 7 eggs left. Thankfully have a dozen more in the incubator. Heavy sigh!

Received the Araucanas from RayandDebi (sorry, I forget your new screen name!) and MF cochins from Daze333. All beautifully packed and completely intact. I have two more shipments of eggs and I wasn't thinking and set a bunch of my own eggs the other day... So, I get to double stack and scrounge for space. Really... You'd think with a sportsman and two LG's that you'd have more than enough space. *Sigh* I believe I have an addiction.
