Louise shares their sentiments...

And Kit-kit doesn't disagree.

Violet always looks grumpy, so...

I love all of your Easter-eggers. Especially the little one next to the Polish. It's amazing to me how EEs can be such derpy birds, but produce such evil looks!

Aww pretty girls. The EE's are skilled at the stink eye. Kiwi is one of my favorites. She is so tiny, and she lays a little bitty aqua colored egg. I didn't even know their were bantam EE's until I got her. She was the one of thecutest chicks I have ever seen too
.

Awww, yeah, there's just something about bantams, isn't there? Of course, my only bantam EE turned out to be a cockerel and he was a real spaz, but he really was adorable as a chick!

Quote: I may have some bantam mix young adults available to rehome. They would be cochin, silkie, millie or OEGB mixes.

Quote: Those questions I don't know the answers too. The gender being set by the hen came up in the NYD hatch a long. But no one really seemed to have a greta way to make females only.

Quote: I watched the Ken Burns show on the Dust Bowl. I can promise you I prefer winter cold to a dust storm.
Ugh agreed! Dust is much worse.

Questions, Questions, and MORE Questions:

What is the best way to heat an 8 x 12 shed if I want to use part of it to brood mid sized chicks and part of it as a birthing stall for goats.

Next on goats, if i have 2 does give birth very close together can one nurse the other's kid or will the kids know who to nurse from. I'm hoping that the kids sell fast because I want the milk. Or maybe that one of the moms does the nursing and the other is milked. My children love goats milk and the milk can be used for cheese, soap, even pink eye treatments.

I'm also looking for recommendations for disbudders / dehorners.
