Nice thing about that is when they lay eggs already in the styrofoam egg carton, isn't it?

Oh, yes, I understood that. I guess maybe the size would be a clue. They all look different, so there is no "standard," look to them. White earlobes and white eggs, though.

I thought you turned your incubator off for a few months

May I purchase Icelandic chickens that are already "started"? If you bring some to POOPS, I am sure they will be a hit for a bunch of us.

awww- can't imagine you being scared of anything! when i was in high school we had to move and the rabbit hutch had a big spider we named maria- and you guessed it- we caught her and reset up the hutch and put her back in it!

I too am facinated by spiders. I don't even mind them in the house, since if they are able to survive it means they must be finding some sort of gnat or fly to eat. I decided that spider webs covered with snow were actually quite lovely this past week - I had a number of them in my rabbit barns.

CB? dang teach, we had her out of that hole long before any tow truck or tractor could get there.

sooner, that was a ditch a foot wide and a yard deep, we keep filling it up and when we get a good rain, gets washed right back out.

and what is SDWD? having brain convulsions trying to figure it out.

There is no purchasing of them. Donations are accepted to the "Save the Icelandics," fund, in Iceland. I will be happy to bring as many chicks as wanted to POOPS!

I'm sorry but I missed it somewhere, what is POOPS?

Where is my calculator when I need it. At 75 posts to a page, 2500 posts would be 33.33333 pages

I suggest 2250 posts, which will be 30 pages and a challenge to get completed before POOPS - so we will have an opportunity to personally deliver the egg cartons and NN roo.

Maribeth I think you need to recalcuate I am thinking we will be at 2250 posts by Friday.

Do I win? Oh Are we even playing yet? If so Did I win?

Monty - we aren't to 2250 posts yet and no one has made any guesses other than yours just now (which I am going to take as an example of how NOT to make a guess since it doesn't give a date or time

)

Since no one has made an "official guess" yet - and I didn't anticipate a week of non-stop chatter with all the snow - let's set the goal at 3375 posts - which is 45 pages (if you show 75 posts to the page). We now have a date for POOPS and I think we can reach that goal before May 1.

So, let the guessing begin!!!

Give the date and the hour - the person who gets closest to the date and hour without going past it, wins the "prize."

We will work out a system for keeping track of the guesses and post a link to it in my signature line or I will create a BYC page that contains it.

Is there a chicken processing place near Durant? When I cull my flock in a couple of years (or raise some meat birds) I really don't want to do it myself. I have before but not looking forward to doing it again.
