I totally forgot about the strawberry and the pretzel thingys. I should go find Ms Pacman and play it lol.
He was so funny, he would waddle around the floor playing with the other chicks and then just keep running back over to stare at the pacman box. He looked like a fat little blue penguin.

That is too cute! You may have had a real problem if he watched the actual game!

Looks like he wants to peck his eyes out!

Oh, my! I love the little Pac Maran. What a cute little fuzzybutt. He looks like he could be a real ornery bug hunter.

I'm so excited! My first BCM eggs are in the bator. We will have fuzzy butts by Christmas Eve. (as if my kids need anymore stimulation

) Hmm, I don't know maybe it will be me bouncing off the walls

I could not wait for the News Years hatch.

Morning All!

Bike~ Good luck. You must keep us updated and for sure you know the rules, once there are new fuzzy butts in the house, we all must see.

flgarden~ That is a great photo! I think he secretly wants to eat that little red ghost!

Jan~ How in the heck did you remember about the strawberry and pretzel? lol

Whidbey~ They are all Blue Coppers, but some do not show any copper at all, but I am getting solid Black, Blue and Splash in the spring.

Almost forgot to share with my Marans friends that the first babies from Gnarles and Bill's big Bl-Cpr dtr. that shows no copper and clean shanked, along with his other Bl-Cpr dtr. that also shows no copper but has feathered legs are set for lockdown tomorrow. Also some Bill crossed with a Splash Davis pullet eggs and Charmin and Gnarles eggs too. Man...yesterday I glanced at the calendar and had totally forgot about lockdown. Since it was so damp and wet here I didn't add or put any water in it until one day last week when I glanced at it and it read 23%. Told ya'll I was a setter and forgetter.

There are 26 eggs in the 'bator and I cannot possibly use, nor will I want all the babies. Let me know if you want any of them.
