No problem on the Jap, just let me know when you decide. If you don't get him he will most likely just stay where he is and come spring I will get him a girl or re-home him.

I am loving the cochin's......I will have lots of cochins!

M'dear okies... my wonderful fiancee James, who might get himself

for enabling me, has asked why there aren't any "big eggs" going into the borrowed 'bator since my LF cochin eggs (standard SL cochins) didn't make it.

I'd not even thought about it, to be honest. So I'm here asking... of the people close(r) to the Del City/MWC area, do y'all have any hatching eggs? Feel free to pm me the answer. I'll admit I am not a fan of the NN/Turken.

*sigh* I must be insane... but I like it

I cant cross the picket line to the coop. No eggs here. The biddies have gone on strike. Good Luck.

To be honest, with all the cold/rain, and as late in the year as it already appears to be, I'm not actually expecting to find any.

I'm more surprised that I didn't think about it before now than about the fact that most people's hens have stopped laying

I had to turn off my 1202 Sportsman............nothing to put in it. I went begging this morning but they are not getting any either. I need to give that poor thing a break anyway...it has been going since November last year with very few breaks.

Where is the warmth that the weather man said we'd get?! DH and I moved the japs and rir out to the hutch coops yesterday evening thinking it would be nicer today, but it is still cold. they seem to be doing okay though. I put pictures up on my byc page.
We kept the brahmas in b/c they don't have as many feathers. For the past couple of weeks I've been having to keep the girls seperate from the guys. Those boys just keep picking until all the girls are bloody and covered with sores! Should I get rid of them now or just wait and see what they do when they get a little bigger? Anyways I put pics of them up on my byc page along with a pic of the frame of the new coop. DH came down with a bug and didn't get any farther. He's feeling better today and back at work so fall break is just for me and the kids again.

LOL, you mean everyone doesn't do that?????????????? Shhhh don't tell on me.

Yea really same here. I am still kinda wondering about that GREEN chicken tho.

In my dream Jason and I came across a lady who had Green Topped Chickens as if chickens could have mohawks thats what they looked like...
I then proceeded to tell the lady with the green chickens about the BYC and Poops and that she should get on here and join..... Even in my dream I kept questioning the reality of it all... GREEN CHICKENS... Are They For REAL or are they the ones with GREEN EGGS? That Sam I Am was forcing the other guy to eat in Dr Seuss

My birds must be over achievers. I'm still getting eggs daily from all my chickens, ducks, and guineas. Too bad I'm not anywhere near anyone who wants them. I have a total of 20 dozen eggs right now. Contemplating just throwing them in the bator just to get rid of them. I was also hoping my EEs would be my last batch until spring.

Glad to see you Henny -
Your song is a positive thinking song. My song to myself this morning, while trying to feed birds without falling into the mud, was " "Slip sliding away, Slip sliding away, ya know the nearer your destination, the more you're just slip sliding away"
