I'll trade you! I can not get as much done when it is 90 outside as when it is in the 50 and 60's.

I work BEST when it is in the 60 - 70's range. .. . .

I don't think they give prizes out for wrong answers !

It is one of my partridge rocks. .. . God I hope she is serious because I am so tired of being the mommy hen. This is hatch # 6 and # 7 is cooking in the other incubator!

I got lighter egg color recently, just before the girls started to go broody!

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I already have 4 broody Game hens.

Ya know, every one of these birds is starting to hide eggs.

Say it isn't so!!!!!!!!!!!

I kid you not. These look nothing like Marans eggs. I did get enough dark ones to cover my swaps, but I wanted to add more extras. These aren't even milk chocolate! They're the color of Flan!

The other two...hoping pullets.....got them from Pink.

I just love blue chicks!! I will have to post some of my solid blue ones.

I have a question about a "Sport" colored chick. Is it a yellow with black and copper spots or a black with white spots?? I have read both and I have one in the brooder that is yellow with copper and black spots so I would like to know what is going on with him.

I am having camera issues right now I will try to post a picture tomorrow.
