Dang spell check on my Iphone!!!! Supposed to be English Orps.

Glad I gave you a good laugh though!

ETA: The benefit of the Iphone though, is I had something to do for the 45 minutes sitting in the DMV.

Here are the 3 late hatchers that did not make the trip to Idaho.

Adorable Kathy! Looks like you are getting lots of rose combs.

My Luna that Mary gave me has a rose comb. Briet has a single comb, but it's so weird, it sweeps off to the side in an arc. I'll have to get a close up of it - it's neat!

Hey Kathy I've got a dark one like this with the white chest but also white on the wings, I am really curious how it will color out, got any pics of others that started off this way?

Kathy great pics! I got lost.

Are all of your Delawares that friendly?

Chooks,

I love having the hens running around with biddies as well. An incubator is useful as a means of increasing volume. Icelandics go directly to broodiness, nesting and parenting without missing a beat.

They are like lap dogs with feathers! YES! They are all very friendly and are always under foot!

Ask Laura (Hillbilly Hen)! I sent her some Delawares and Icelandics.

Mary and Kelly ..... Do you know WHY I sent both Delawares and Icelandics to Laura?

Hey, Andy! Are you having any action in the bullpen yet?

Happy to hear icelandics are on the way to Idaho! I am at a hotel in Orofino, Idaho. I have 4 icelandic eggs in my incubator due the 16.
