Sounds good to me Bhep, hope your mom has a safe and happy trip.

Very pretty boys wildriver

I made my first two loafs of homemade bread today, with of course my mom’s help!

Ugh I wish I could make it tomorrow but I get off work at 8 and have errands to run before my friend gets into town tomorrow around lunch.

Bhep, if you are taking orders I wouldn't mind a few more Marans pullets/hens to add to the group. Color doesn't matter.

8 EGGS!!!!!!!!!! That's all my girls except for Sophie-Anne the Ameraucana!!!

Also managed to get my neglected coop cleaned out from top to bottom today. The chickens were so happy they switched up their roosting positions tonight! Kinda caught me off guard when I went in there tonight!

Handsome boys, wild!!!!!!!!

Have fun at the show everyone!!! And have a good night!

Just curious, anyone in the Columbus/Brunswick County area breed Silkies?

Haha...Beth the chicken caterer!!

Sadly DH woke up sick and DD was up all night long (thus me too) with night-terrors and a fever (cold related maybe??) so it looks like once again we will be missing a show. I guess it's for the best...since BHep is taking orders, I might get suckered into wanting to bring a few more home, and until I get Susan settled....I'd better wait....that and pretty soon, I'm going to need a bigger coop!!

I really hope you all have a great time at the show...if you think of it PLEASE take lots of photos...especially of all the pretty ones so we can

over them!! I'm partial to all things gold laced - I don't know why, I just think they look regal - and FLUFFY - the big fluffy not silkie tiny fluffy!!

I haven't hit the silkie bandwagon....YET

Give G&A a little more time to get me on board!!

Today I think I am going to stay away from the two sick ones as much as possible and do some more baking...I have a special batch of cookies to prep seeing as we're having our first official BYC visitor (aside from G&A who brought us our first set of chickens!!

and Vfem who did a special jam class for my sister's birthday) on Monday!! COOKIES!! Also going to try making a cinnamon coffee cake from an OLD recipe only making one small substitution - no buttermilk here.

hope it turns out well...otherwise DH will have a bland breakfast tomorrow!!

Have a great day everyone.

ChickensXOXO - there are a lot of silkie lovers on here, so if someone isn't directly in your area, they might know others who are. Good luck!!

Congratulations on getting so many eggs. Since we started worming, we've been getting 8 eggs a day...of course they all are going in the compost, but still....makes me excited at the future possibilities!!

I am SO excited!! Maybe we'll cross paths on Wed's RFF's feed pick up?!? I'll be the pregnant one with a little one running around saying "OWL"...

A chilly but good morning to you all.......

All is well here in the chicken world, the hens have started laying again after their molt which is good news.

Incubating, well had decided to stop until spring, that didn't work out. Have 2 Marans hatched and 1 that is 50% zipped after my first dry incubation, out of 4 eggs. All have done well zipping so now for the other 39 that are in the incubator.

Ruthann - did I tell you that also includes 8 Partridge Silkie eggs.........

maybe you need some Marans to join your flock......

 

[gavinandallison]

Hot news update!!!!

Egg #3 has fully zipped and is out, and egg #4 is zipping quickly......... 100% success hatch rate on first dry hatch, 4 out of 4..............
