LOL, but it was 40 degrees today and forecasted to be so for the next 2 weeks. Balmy!

Subzero last week, but no more! (I hope.)

My problem is that I have ONE of a lot of breeds I love. I am torn which way to go: banty mottled cochins, blue wheaten ameraucanas, wheaten ameraucanas, white crested black polish, black silkies, etc. I love the tiny birds, and my favs right now are my wheaten OEG's. That roo is too stinkin cute poofing out his tiny chest and hollering EEE EEE EEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I'm not on the list, so just in case I'll say it again, just so the numbers of hatchers are correct. But i'm in!!! I can't wait.

Hey Debi I have WC Black polish, black silkies, and black cochins. They should all be laying pretty well by then. My Ameraucanas are white though.

Ok, can I put my order in now for 20? Could you collect that many in a few days? I can go for less, but this girl has high hopes.

Awwwwww cute! I'd like some of those but I think the local hawk would too.

I'd planed to have banty Cochins as lawn ornaments and bug hunters in the vegie patch but after waking up to find one of the local hawks trying to break into the aviary to get my budgies (parakeets to you in the USA) I have decided my lawn ornaments wouldn't last long. The hawks are good mousers and also good at catching baby snakes and they are welcome to as many of those as they can catch. But not my birds!

I sort of have to opposite problem to you, I have a huge list of breeds I'd like just one or two of for the laying pen but don't want to bring in a whole heap of new birds because I don't want to bring in any diseases. Shipping in eggs to get one or two birds is expensive if they don't hatch.
