Mel, you always crack me up.....tooo funny. Must be tired, had to read twice and think 3 times

Pinks....so far 6 out of 11 hatched...4 blues and 2 blacks. Not sure about the other 5 but am leaving them in the bator for several more days. BIg, big babies!!!

AWESOME......AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! That's great! Photo's when you can my friend!

Gnarles sure likes to make more Blue babies vs. Black ones. I so wish I had a nice Black Copper rooster to use with some of the BCM girls.

I'm thinking of switching up some things around here and putting the Wellies out to pasture in the laying flock and not breeding them anymore except for my own personal use or unless I get a specific request for Wellies (I know you are still on the list for Wellies, don't worry), moving the Delawares to their new pen (when it is finished

) and having a pen of Splash Coppers, a pen of Blue Coppers and a pen of Black Coppers...but if I do this.....I won't have a place for my Bill.....unless....I build another pen for olive eggers. Decisions....decisions.....work....work.....work.

I have 3, maybe 4 that you can choose from...

Crimany!! That IS close! No wonder you can hear our music from there! So it's less than a 2 hour drive....Pink & I are about an hour north of Portland....Maybe this fall (August, Sept.) we can put something together? I could bring a big Salmon or 2....
