The only time I've ever had one get mean was this weekend when I took my broody from her babies! Now these babies were already 7 weeks old and she was SO PO'ed. First thing she did was start attacking the other girls then she chilled out a while. She stayed by that cage for a while trying to figure out where they were. I did feel really bad!!

Man I'm sorry to hear about your bator. Did you get it fixed??

There not mean at all to me or the kids. They are mean to the hens. i guess there are in full bloom? lol. They are pulling feathers like crazy on the hens. We will be thinning them out this weekend. Going to be making a stew with about 6 of them. Hopefully the free roo's I get for my order of baby peeps are no the orpingtons. I would ike to keep a couple roo's but would like some others. but who could complain when getting free roo's? I will post pics of my mutts when i get a chance. Oh and out of 83 eggs in 2 bators a big zero hatched. That was really disheartning.

Fantastic! I hope to apply for mine in another couple of months, soon as I get this last batch of chicks up & running.

We're finally feeling almost like human beings again. Yesterday was just awful for me pain-wise, I guess the first day after a surgery always is, I finally had to break down & take pain pills. Jim's fighting a severe ear infection & running a high fever so the both of us weren't worth shooting these past 2 days.

But this morning-- woke up feeling better, just weak & washed out, the hens gave us 4 nice eggs so I scrambled those with some thick sliced bacon & toast. Jim's fever is down & he just cut a hole in a trash bag I can tape over my knee bandage so I can take a well-wished for shower. Then back to bed for a while.

When it warms up I plan to go just sit in the sun & soak up some healing rays--it's supposed to hit 60 today & the SKY is BLUE & a BIG YELLOW THING up there too! Whoo-hooo!!!!!

wish we could work on some of the outside projects but definitely not up to it yet - but we'll get there!

Edited to add: see the rooster in my avatar? That's a splash Andalusian I hatched from a BYC breeder 2 years ago. No longer have him but his daughter laid an extra large white egg yesterday -- that's what breeder quality will do for you! She isn't a big hen either, but very consistent layer year round of large white eggs. I'll be hatching some of those crossed on my Wheaton Ameracauna roo Eagle later this spring.

Terri, how are you doing? Hadn't heard from you.

Yes! I knew that. Ed's first wife was from La too!

I knew that about the Crowley woman he married, it was in People magazine a long time ago when he was marrying her. Her dad was in politics too ..... a district attorney or something or other. Did not know his other wife was from La...what town was that?
