Did the broody hatch all those chicks ? ? ?

There are a lot of breeders out there in the WASHINGTON area - - -

Pinkchick and Geebs to name just a couple.

I'm pretty new to all this also. I'm just up I-5 from Pinkchick at Castle Rock.
Welcome to the site!

Morning Mel! No snow here this morning but I understand that this could change by tomorrow up at my elevation. Yucky, WET AND NASTY here lately.
How about those earthquakes?......Rick couldn't figure out what was going on...he thought it was a wind storm (he wasn't here when all the mountain jazz happened 30 years ago...he was in stationed in Germany and missed the whole thing, so needless to say he is not very familiar with quakes and they kind of freak him out.)
I was sitting in the Home Depot parking lot taping boxes of eggs to be shipped (I ran out of packing tape

....I'm sure my daughters helped use some of it.) I kept looking in my side mirrors trying to see who was shaking my truck.....but nobody was there. It was a good one that's for sure. What gives we just had a couple quakes not but a couple months ago?

Yes I noticed Karen's new avatar......wanna know something funny? I thought it was somebody new everytime I saw the pic and had to scroll straight to the location to make sure it was Karen. Karen is that your boy that you posted about 2 months ago or so?

Why thank you Mel. I was having trouble accessing the right place to get the photo. That was my problem. A computer "Geek", I' AM NOT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is my husband's area of expertise but he wants nothing to do with emails or forums or anything like that so I didn't even ask............LOL

Mornin' all !

Welcome Andalusn! What a great mama your Cuckoo girl is!! I sure hope you bake her a Mother's Day cake for all of her hard work!

Mel & Pink, Sorry to hear your weather is turning nasty again. It's going to be cloudy and gusty here today, but in the mid to upper 60s! Don't like those earthquakes either! I lived in So. CA. for 10 years, and never could get "used" to them.
