We have a set of eggs hatching this Sunday night and another one will be hatching next Sunday night. After that, we are not going to hatch any more eggs until March. Our show season is busy during February. It is difficult to find someone to feed and take care of all of our animals when we are out of town. Brooders full of baby chicks are just too much to ask anyone to take care of. We will start back setting eggs the during the first part of March.

We are making plans to head out for the Bluebonnet Classic Poultry Show in College Station, Texas tomorrow afternoon. We should get there early tomorrow evening. The unloading and cooping in usually gets a little confusing, but life gets better once it is done.

The show will be on Saturday. If anyone is planning on being there, please look us up. We would love to meet any of you and visit face to face. We only show Marans, but we will be showing six or seven varieties of them there.

We hope that the weather is nice, and pray that everyone has a great show and safe travel.

Got a quick shot of my mammoth cockerel a couple days ago.


He finally has a name.....Will. He has beefed and bulked up extrememly since the last time I post a photo of him. Wish I could get a better photo of him this time but he was too busy trying to show the girls where all the goodies where in the yard.

and here is one when he was running toward me to get the eggplant treats I was tossing over the fence........

Sorry not the best photos.

Mine were supposed to hatch yesterday, I had pips but that was it. My bator has not been able to keep up temps since it got cold. I am going to add another light or something. This is one reason I wanted to MOVE my bator, but it would not fit through any of the other doors
