Close, that's a frequent mistake. Auburn is in Placer Co., Placerville is in El Dorado Co., but our borders run in tandem all the way up to Lake Tahoe.

I am SO in on this one. When I get home I'll be starting on it!

But I do have a question. Does it have to be just black markers or can you use colored ones?

This looks like a fun contest! I'd better get on it before school starts back up, or I'll be too busy.

OK, FINALLY caught up.

Links to the Contest Page are found in two locales in POST #1


I wish I were more creative.

I also wish I could figure out how to do a new page to link to for "Mahonri's Hatch- Hatching Tips" that are found on Post #1.

Just a reminder... I'll be getting eggs from:

Maryland: Peachick---- W/BW Ameraucanas and sumatras. (Maryland to Phoenix is a long trip)
Illinois: NotAFarm ---- Icelandics!
Kansas: ChooksChicks --- a nice sized grab bag of varied & interesting breeds
California: WhiteMountainRanch --- Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas

Final #s and breeds set to be posted before March 18th.

off to teach my class en Español... see ya all around 8:30PM.

I have to have surgery on my wrist in the morning. They set it completely wrong. Put details in the California thread.

Just wanted to say I can donate a dozen eggs, sent after the hatch. It will be my choice, but will probably be a mix of breeds. All pure from one or more of the following.

FBCM
SPR
Silver Phoenix
Black Sumatra
Bantam Favs
Lav AMs both LF and Bantam

Depends on what is laying at the time and could be other breeds if they are laying.

OR

2 Dozen mixed quail
A&M
Coturnix
Jumbo browns

Someone come up with a contest

Beaver dam on the stream where we skated Tuesday:


the ice was pretty good, but some years, it looks like this:


An outdoor skate with those conditions is a rare treat!
