My name is Kim and I am an addict...

I just won 12 Silkie eggs off of eBay..wasn't I just complaining about my shipped eggs a few threads down? .. Oh yeah, while I am confessing, I also have 12 Ameracauna/Easter eggers coming by way of Ebay, due to ship out tomorrow...my husband really shouldnt go out of town and leave me alone with the computer and a paypal account...

Um, I decided that my coop will hold FIVE..only because I thought two, then three, then I settled at FOUR...and my husband said yesterday, while talking about the coop: "We are only going to have five or six hens anyway so it doesn't matter..." (I actually have no idea what doesn't matter...I wasn't listening to him until he said FIVE)... I will need five to keep my neighbor happy by sharing some eggs...

So, my brother in law is going to have plenty for his farm, and darn it- that means I have even more weeks of stressing over an incubator.

Going to go peep at my eggs now that are still incubating..

 

Bird-Brain,

He doesnt really have to worry..I am doing all of this because of his brother. He had something kill his entire flock one night and I volunteered to hatch him out some. So, I started out just hatching...then decided I really wanted some 'illegals' here, too. Started a coop all by myself, which he finished, complained the whole time though.

Chicken-Wendy,

I won them from Dusty in Ohio..says 12+...as long as ONE white pullet hatches out healthy, I will be happy. I SOOOOO need to name one Q-tip to satisfy my craving..(which I didnt know I even had, until I saw Jen's of Sassy Silkies website.)

FullHouse-

I have two serama eggs left, due tomorrow...I have a few (three/four) due next week from a terrible shipment that was mostly yolk and shells..what wasnt broken has thus far not turned out so well. I just tossed my three banties today. Mystery eggs...if I am lucky a couple Black Giants. Then, I have the replacement shipment also, that is not starting out so well- but most of those are too dark shelled for me to candle.

 

Quote:Oh! Oh! Oh1 Q-tip and Cottonball..oh...how cute..well, wouldnt want the Silkie to get a complex-being the only different one...and ummm, Dandy...as in Dandylion fluff....heh heh heh...

Edit to add:
I just showed my 12 year old a picture of a silkie chicken and told her that was what type of eggs we are going to try and hatch next..and she looked at the picture and said: "Poodle chickens?"


So, that being said- I am not allowed to have chickens here in the suburbs but I AM allowed poodles..sooo, maybe a silkie named Fifi, heh heh heh...

Oh! One more thing...I just ordered an automatic turner..decided that it will make my addiction so much easier...
