That's better than baby pics, Pink! She asked me if I ate the egg. Had to explain the worming withdrawl time, and then the hesitation I had of eating the first egg anyway. "What are you going to do with it?" I think I'll just let it dry out and keep it for posterity. "Whhhaaaatttt????" Never mind...

okay. so I am not the only crazy one that carries eggs!!! LOL.... but the bigger "Q" pink.. Do you buy shirts in the color of your marans eggs so you MATCH>>>??????

Debbi You just let us know... you can even send me a private email..We will celebrate the egg with you... and if we were closer..We would want to pet it also

Fowledout: Congrats on the Paris trip... so jealous... only a marans freak would think of that angle.. if you were stateside you would probably hook up with a fellow BYCer huh???

Go back a few pages and pet it if you want to! I just can't believe how tickled I was with it. She really laughed when I told her it was like your child's first baby tooth.

BBBBBBBBrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRr!!!!!!!!!!! Is right..... We don't get snow here & I have never gotten used to being in it. Today my 9 year old grand daughter & I travel a couple of hours away to the snow to pick up her 4H poultry chickens from the breeder (Not Marans). She chose Australorps & I promised that she got to choose. Their pen is ready & waiting. I dread driving in it & hope the roads are well plowed & it doesn't snow while we are there.................LOL
Yesterday I got to play with 2 other Marans ladies. What fun & a nice Chinese lunch to boot!!!!!! My Delawares were delivered & settled into their new home immediately. Then it was off to Modesto to meet another Chicken Lady (Marans plus). I learn new things everyday, but real live talking with others that love the same things can't be beat!!!!! I wish I had more locals that were into this....LOL
I have rain & I get to go out & slip slide in the mud now to feed everyone before Olivia & I leave.
Hope everyone has a good day.
