OH Lisa..... so sorry

You know I was looking in my wallet today and saw I still had your address inside, from shipping you those eggs. I wondered why I had not yet thrown it away, and now I know. Let me know when you are ready and I will send you some more.

-Keara

So nice of you Keara. I would gladly do the same if I have anything Lisa wants.

So sorry for your poor hatches. I really do feel for you. I get so bummed trying to get better stock & buying eggs & having poor hatch rates even though I hatch my own with good success. I had high hopes that my new "great" incubator would be the answer for me but alas............I have had mixed results at best. I have been wondering if I should seek out breeders that send chicks & go from there til I get some "good" stock of my own. I am going to the Stevensen Washington show this week end maybe I can find something or someone there. What a bummer.............

I rarely post here. But I would recomend coming over to the washingtonians thread, and asking if anyone has what your looking for. You might be able to pick up eggs or chicks at the Stevenson show this weekend if you are still going.

I would have loved that but our trip plans were cancelled at the last minute. A very close friend of the lady I was going with was in a terrible accident & she couldn't leave & feel good about it. I totally understand "people really do come first" even though we are chicken lovers. I will try to find the Washingtonians thread. Thanks

BCM APA approval Yippee! I'll be sure to tell my hens and roos they are now LEGITIMATE!

Lisa- I'm SO sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and all involved.

I've had MAJOR computer failure. All my previous emails are lost. I will probably not be on here too much until I get a new computer. Right now I'm having to share space with hubby, so time is much more limited.

The new computer may have to wait until AFTER I get my new chicken barn done!

Bev, that is WONDERFUL news!! I have a couple of people whose kids show 4H and FFA that have asked me about showing their BCM chicks once grown up!! I can't wait to pass this info on to them. Thank you everyone

Noticed on all 3 of our 2 day old chicks that they have wing feathers coming in already.

Thanks, He is spending the weekend in the hospital having his meds adjusted. The one nursing home I spoke to acted like there is a possibility if they get his meds correct . . . . He could come back home to me and be ok for a while.

In the meantime, I am going to lok at a few places on Monday and then I will have my ducks in a row for what ever happens next!

Ever wonder why ducks are in a row and not chickens? ? ?

I can not tell you how much the kind words have meant to me during this. . .

Oh My! We have had ours crash - - - You could do what I did - - - Just slide over and take over Dh's computer.

HOWEVER, you do have to make sure the little chickies have their space FIRST

We will be waiting for you to still some time on Dh's computer . . . .

I'll RACE you to getting the chicken barn done! Dh and I went to home depot today to get the material to start our new chicken coops.
