10 Speckled Sussex that go on lockdown Wednesday!
I have Golden Cuckoo Marans and more Speckled Sussex eggs in route!!
 
Just at the moment my brooder is...
















...EMPTY!

But that's because I just took out fifty eight ISA Browns to put into their grow-out pen.

But wait! There's more!

Before those I had fifty four White Leghorns in that brooder. They're in their own grow out pen now.

So now the brooder sits empty. Waiting. Lonely.

But only until the end of the month when the White Midget turkeys and the Cuckoo Maran chickens hatch out. Should be about twenty or so.

And behind them at about two weeks later the eggs I don't take to the county fair incubation display will hatch about two weeks later (should be about fifteen to twenty) then a few days after those will come the next lot of White Midget turkeys. Hopefully about 20-22 of those.

That's all I have scheduled. So far.

So, you see, you're all behind the program here. Get with it!
