Ya, I'll go out and buy a lottery ticket when I find my boy! I could wallpaper my bathroom with the non-winners!

Oooo Raven! You are a bunch closer to me, but no cigar...

Wonder what ever happened to that "Pony Express" link for chicken deliveries that was on BYC a year or so ago?? If anyone was traveling from point of bird, to point of bird wanter, they would transport the bird to you on their way. Not sure what they called it, don't think it was Pony Express...

Raven how are your chooks doing? Are you getting close to eggs yet?

 

[Raven1]

Close but nada! The girls are chunks and will be going to the layers pen to finish maturing still waiting on their copper to come in but the boys

going to be very hard to decide which one stays I have a favorite but still trying to keep an open mind.

if you were closer debbi I have 3 splashes growing out right now that just turned 5 months. The copper is starting to develop on one of them really nicely, but I'm wanting the ones with the least amount for a project pen I have going. If you know of anyone that heads this way, I could send it back with them.

 

[Debbi]

OH! Why am I so in the middle of everyone??? Wish I knew when my Son was heading back this way from Colorado. On second thought, that may not be a good idea, he hates a rooster's crow!

He almost went bonkers listening to all of mine. "I thought roosters only crowed at dawn??? What's up with yours??

" They are special

The copper wouldn't bother me either, I want them for Blue Coppers!

Well I feel like I am missing out! My girls have not started laying yet. They do free range. I might have to go on an egg hunt and see if they have a hidden nest. Congrats on your new eggs Debbi.

 

[Debbi]

Thanks Poularde! I bet if you pen them up, you may find their eggs. That's what I had to do.

Raven and Poularde~ Tell those girls to get a move on with their groove on!!! Not that it means anything..but tell them I said so.

I hope they figure it out very soon. I can't wait to see more of Bill's kids eggs.

Debbi~ Lovin' the color of Charlottes egg....she is from Bill, correct?

Debbi, you're not all THAT far from ME!
