I'm thinking about doing a little hatching in the next few weeks. Anyone know where I can get some EE eggs within an hours drive from Oswego? I'd really like to have some BCM eggs to hatch, then I could make my own olive eggers next year but I will prolly have to order them to be shipped. Only looking to hatch 6-8 so a dozen eggs would be good if I get a 50% hatch rate.

My EE's are laying well. I have blue, green and light olive colored eggs. My 2 roos are pure Ameracaunas, 1 Lavendar and his son a Blue. They are over my EE hens which are half Am. If you're still looking shoot me a PM or quote me and I'll contact you.

Well as it turns out the Blue EE I kept is a roo.  I will cross him back to the Lavender and Blue hens I have though and then perhaps get rid of him. Which means I'll have to set him and some hens up in a fourth coop. Lord have mercy does it never end?  

TSC sent me some coupons. Most I couldn't use. One I did use was buy four bags of feed get one free. The others I gave to someone named Joanne who was there. I expect she has a farm of some sort. 

TSC keeps track of what I buy and at the end of the year send me a breakdown. It's very helpful. Though CM doesn't do the same and I do spend money there too. 

I wish it were a bit warmer so I could work out there. This cold weather makes my joints hurt.  

Who here has a septic system and what can you tell me about it. I have a guy coming to look at ours Monday.  It's been such a pain.

what is your septic doing?
 
Last weekend when I was going out to do chores Saturday morning, I hear a rustling in the garbage can in our garage. Now I use this can as a giant mouse trap and it had a paper plate in the bottom with a spoon full of peanut butter and some scratch on it to, so when I heard the noise I assumed that it was either a mouse or possibly a rat cause it sounded like it may be bigger then mouse....Can you imagine my surprise when I find an ermine!! It was so little and so cute, but I know how devastating they can be. My husband told me that I should just relocate it.. My response was "So it can kill someone else chickens, NO WAY!" so I did what I knew I needed to do and I made sure it wouldn't do any damage to anyone's flock especially mine. I couldn't believe that it got in a garbage can in our garage. My husband had left the door open for a few days... I wish that I could catch them all like that, but it was a once in a life time catch... It was so little, I felt bad, but I knew that if I ever let it go, that when it got bigger it would come back and I may not be so lucky!!!


This is what I saw at first...


Awww.. How cute am I...

I am the DEVIL and I will KILL all of your chickens I can just for fun!!!
