It's good to hear from your Mikaela! So glad that you were okay during all that scary weather! My flock is still mixed because we don't have the breeding pens finished. It has been one thing after another that has prevented us from doing the work. I have been hatching a few Langshan eggs but it is up in the air who is the father and who is the mother. I just had 2 blacks and 2 blues hatch yesterday and today. I love fat little Langshan chicks!Hello all! So nice to be able to get back on again! Looks to be a bunch of chatty people on here lately! Nice to see all of you and see this thread alive and well! Went to a swap yesterday and along with the mother of all sunburns, I got a gorgeous white pullet. Excellent type, but those eyes have GOT to be bred out. Bright yellow. Breeding to a black or blue male will take care of the problem a few generations down, but I feel like she will be an excellent start to building up my white flock again.
Petrock, I read that you're trying to hatch some eggs! They're already laying and breeding! WOW! Time flies!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for Oklahoma. We definitely got lucky. My husband's business was close to where a tornado touched down and took out a few houses. We were stupefied but still in our lawnchairs watching the lightning crack across the sky and the funnels come down.
