I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall with those discussions. . . .


Speaking of PINK . . . I getting everything ready tonight for the eggs that I am expecting tomorrow.

At this point, I don't care what color these birds are as long as they are FEMALES

I am really tired of seeing pink combs and wattles!

PINK, speaking of colors . . . are these going to be blues and blacks or is there a possible splash occurrence too ?

No need to be a flies on the wall.......just get all ya'llz tails out here and pull up a chair, it would be a blast!

Anyway....back to Marans, yes, Math you could get a splash...I think I sent you some eggs from some of the Blue girls....and if any hatch from Bill's coop then yes, and I think I sent you some of Chloe's (Blue Copper hen) x Gnarles eggs ...but I can't remember eggzactly.

Seriously, I've been packing so many eggs that I can't remember everyone of them I have packed. It kinda becomes a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr once the box is taped closed. The post master is now saying to me on the way out the door...."See ya next week!"

So does anyone else see Pinkchick announcing a Marans party at her house?

Got anything in the incubator hatching? I'm hoping tomorrow or Thursday I'll have new babies! I'm getting impatient....

I can't wait to meet the new little ones!

I'm gonna buy one! Meyer Hatchery has them for sale in 2 different sizes....one for 7 dozen ($17.76) and one for 15 dozen ($24.58)
For those of us whose pens are close to the house (I'm in that group!) these would be too big, I think. But for folks like Pinkchick, who has pens that start at the back yard and go over the hill and into the dale, you wouldn't want to make two trips. Especially in the slick, snowy conditions that us folks in the Pacific Northwest are faced with at the present time. But that won't last long. We are going to get the "Pineapple Express" high temps straight from Hawaii and the we will be flooding! Not Pinkchick tho, as she lives high & dry in the foothills of Mt. St Helens...me, I'm on the river bottoms. I keep my boat fueled up & sitting on a trailer in front of the shop so all I have to do is cut loose of the tie-downs, fire it up, and away I go...the chickens have trees to climb into..

come'on mel you gotta check out your antique shops first! We got one for a steal at $4

I see them there and at Goodwill and other second hand stores all the time. Also the cute wire baskets shaped like chickens. I even saw some painted cast iron wall hooks that had chickens on them (They were $1 each at Habbitat for Humanity) I didn't get any of them though, just didn't know what I'd use them for.

Back to Marans... So I set the 10 eggs Sunday night and what do ya know one of my cochins proves she's broody starting yesterday so now she's got 4 BCMs under her too! Nothing like keeping the options open with 10 in the 'bator with 4 under a broody. And set so close I wonder if I can get lucky and put whatever hatches under the broody to raise and opt out of the electric bill of a heatlamp? We'll see.
