Evening all

I hear you all - I'm

, too!

and already worrying about what I need to get done tomorrow....

AND worrying b/c my chicks are escaping their "jails" in the hatcher and I don't want to open the hatcher until TOMORROW b/c I have chicks still pipped and hatching...but I'm anxious to band all the right kids with the right bands BEFORE they get all mixed up...

their "jails" are hot dog baskets turned upside down...

What to do...sigh

Hello Everyone, I am going to be traveling home from texas to north carolina the first week of june and I am looking for a few breeders along the way whom I can by Marans eggs from, I am specifically looking for Whites, Birchens Silver & BLue, Wheatens Well I have Bev Davis Lines and I want to diversify and have some other really good lines too. I am really not liking shipped egg hatch rates so figured picking them up would be better. I will be going thru Shreveport, monroe, birmingham,atlanta, agusta and to the coast of nc but can vary my route too if it is not to out of the way. Thought I would post here to get some leads on breeders there are so many it is hard to sort thru them all.

thanks
