Yep - I have @50 girls in the layer house with about 2/3 being POL (raised them in my BASEMENT this winter

- remind me never to do that again!)

I'll remind you!!!! I also raised birds in the basement this winter. Enjoyable for about the first 6 weeks. I'm just a few weeks past that now!

(I'm still finishing up pens so I've got another week or so to go. Oy!)

Glad to hear about everyones babies!! Gotta love spring I have more broodies and wanna be broodies than I know what to do with...darn key west girls grrr.
I've been busy planting out all my stuff from the greenhouse and now everything hurts

Vicki...thats funny about your big baby girls being bossy already! For some reason around here all the littlest girls are the sassy bossy ones and the big ones are sooo laid back and sweet lol.

Gees, just took me half an hour to upload one pic??? Barb, these are some of my F1 Silkies. The big one is just 2 weeks older than the others, big difference, eh? So far, most are Partridge and Blue Partridge. Going to town to sell another dozen of these eggs, seems folks love the Silkies out here. Pictured here at 9 weeks and 7 weeks. Will get BCM pics when the third one hopefully hatches and gets to the brooder.

I really HAVE become a TOTAL sucker for the Silkies. It's quite pathetic, really.

Thanks for sharing, Debbi! And I look forward to seeing your new Marans as well.

Congratulations Debbi! Hope more will hatch for you. I still have one little chickie in the 'bator that is still trying to give it a go.
