"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[catdaddyfro]

Three more eggs today!!! My hens are back in business! I was starting to wonder, they took a three month break. I would like to add a few Delawares to my flock, I have not tried them yet and if anyone close has any pulleys or hens for sale just pm me Pleeeaaasssseeee!

I have some Ideal hatchery Dellies they are not very much to look at now as they are going thru a hard molt now but I will have some chicks and eggs from a select few (the best out of the bunch) this coming spring actually late winter I'm sure. I would sell a few of these now for a descent enough price if you are interested but I'm not close to L.C. I'm north of Leesville or in other words 85 miles from the Lake Charles area. They are good layers too.

I have been trying to hire a high school kid or young teenager to work at my place on the weekend cleaning coops, chicken houses, waterers, feeders, etc but I don't think kids want to work anymore or maybe the job is too hard. :/

What! and to think they might get a little nasty, smelly stuff/pooh-pooh on them, unh uh, why that's blasphemy Kuntrygirl. what you thinkin' here
I know I'd like to take a break here for a weekend or so and have 2 almost full grown boys here neighbor/cousins but I just couldn't even bear the thought/idea of leaving them the simplest thing to do to help me out for a day or two, why I'd be so miserable all that whole time wondering what didn't they do or worse still yet what DID the do for me while I was not there to make sure all went well. No siree. Bob

Yea, I just don't understand. I feel the same as you. I wish I could take a break and have a "helper" to take over for a weekend but that is a mere dream. That will never happen. :/

Good luck on the hatch, Roxanne! I have some in the bator too, but mine have a long ways to go. What kind of eggs are you hatching?

You'll love this thread- everyone here is very friendly and helpful!
I am very near you. I live in WBR (Brusly) and work in Baton Rouge off Essen Lane.

I'm the other direction in Gonzales near the Tanger Outlet mall. I have 4 grown chickens 2 BO, one of which is a roo, and 2 ameracaunas. Just got 2 BR and one White Rock as chicks. Anyone have trouble getting hens to lay eggs IN the nesting boxes? I have one that wants to hide and lay eggs, and THAT's the one hen that won't let the rooster near her, so it's not like she would be hatching anything anyway.

If you can hold off for about a month or so I should have some of those most beautiful NH penned together and getting hatching eggs from by then to go along with your RIReggs but if the temptation is too much for you to bear, go on ahead with the RIRs and you can rear up some of these later on.

Just trying to help you out on making your decisions there Terri

Jeff

Jeff, you are SUCH an enabler!

Let me know when - as long as I'm going to fire up the bator I may as well fill it up all the way, right?
