OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

One of my new faverolle gals gave me a pretty pink egg today. e Instead of laying in the nice cozy nestbox, though, she plunked it down right in a poo pile. -_- Tried to get it as clean as I could without washing it.
I'm tempted to crack 'er open to check for fertility, but it seems so wrong. (I'll get used to it eventually.) I think I'll save up a few days worth and pop them in the bator. I needed more eggs to toss in anyways since 3 of 9 in the styrobator are hatched! 2 BBS AM bantams and the black silkie (so cute! Vaulted skull!). Still no action in the cornish and showgirls. Candled and saw no movement at all. Hopefuly the low temps just delayed them a bit..

Don't you just love out when you bring home a new bird and they just plop the egg any old place?

Coming home with 3 gorgeous silkies and a pair of icelandics to join my lonely pullet. Thanks chickawawa!

You are so welcome! Had a great time talking to you and getting to know everyone today! Hanging out with our new Basque and Rhodebar chicks from Cluckitall! Yay!

Thanks again to you and your husband for entertaining Ellery for me. She talked about Brody almost the whole way home! LOL

I went to the swap today, near the end. I guess I haven't been close to a chicken before because I didn't realize how big some of them get! Wow! My friend has silkies and they are tiny, in comparison.

She gave away a black silkie rooster today. Did anyone here get it?

My husband would prefer to have rabbits :-/ Maybe we will end up with both!

PS - we were the people wearing our babies.

LOL! I know who you baby wearers are! Too funny!

I had such a good time at the swap...and I managed to come home with less birds than I went with...my goal! Mostly 'cuz I don't think that I ever left my table...so many awesome, fun chicken people to talk to! And it was great to finally put the names with the faces (but I will never remember anyone, so please be patient with me)

Many thanks to all of you that made the first annual Delaware Swap a success! We will go for bigger and better next year!

Glad you all had a nice time! Maybe I'll be able to talk DH into it next year.
