Must be something in your water up there that makes them all so broody?!

I have yet to have a broody Marans, that's why I initially bought the Silkies. Hey, where's that old Mel these days?? Been fishing with him lately?

Well, all 18 eggies are in the bator, and due for hatch on Oct. 15th. Wish me luck!

We need some Blues and Splashes around here!!

Mel called yesterday but I have been having phone problems and I didn't get to answer it. I don't know if he left a message, having problems getting my messages too. I did talk to him last week and he is doing fine, we are going to get together in October and fish, he says this is the best time. Can't wait!

As for the broodies....they are making me crazy!

I just started a thread in about a chicken train. Let's think about this, Please...
I hear about all your beautiful roos going to camp Kenmore, when up here in New England, we are just dying for some of these boys!

Be careful what you ask for, you just may find 10 roos on your porch one morning!

Are You the nice person that keeps leaving zucchini on my front steps?

 

[Debbi]

Not me, I lost my whole garden this year due to floods, then heat!

Plus, don't think I could chuck one that far!

I'm not due to go to NY, but in a few weeks I'm due to go to eastern Kentucky... Might be able to pass a roo to someone there that's heading your way.

 

[stoopid]

I have enough roos, thank you.
Just wondering about everyone else. And an egg train.
Even though I PROMISED myself no more hatching until after New years....

You *must* do the New Year's Day hatch; it's a tradition!! By Nov 1, all my colors and breeds will be sorted out and I'll be collecting eggs in December with the express intention of having a *huge* NYD chick party!
