Morning everyone, I have 20 new hatclings since yesterday. Buff orphs,RIRs, and BO/RIR mixes. Yay, I love new chicks. Especially when they are from my own. It just seems so much more personal.

I found three little fluffy Valentine's Day presents under my Broody girls this morning.

They kept those eggs going thru our record cold weather!​

The girls are celebrating the warm sunny weather, they laid 6 eggs today!!!!! The most since they started. All blues and greens so far.

Since this is my first experience w/ chickens I have an observation, I go out and sit in the run area and just watch them sometimes, I find it relaxing, my observation is about my little man Oreo, what roosters lack in length (time) they sure make up in quantity!

Hi everyOkie!

I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day - even though it was on a Monday! I got roses and ribs and a Skor candy bar dropped off to me.

Congrats on everyone's new chickens!

I always get a kick out of you, Teach!

Donnie is correct about the frizzle, if that's what you're referring to - you should never breed frizzle to frizzle as it may produce a Curly (also called a Frazzle), which is a sad creature with sparse feathers of low quality. Here is a quote I found about breeding frizzles. "Thus, the reason for not breeding Frizzle to Frizzle: It causes the bird to have less feather follicles and thus will cause the bird to come out with a dozen feathers and be bald over the body and intolerant of the sun or the cold weather. Curlys are a no-no in the Frizzle breeding."
