If I ever get eggs from you, you'd better not send that many! I barely have enough room for the eggs I claim, let alone any extras! As it is, I'll probably have to give a broody hen some bator eggs, I forgot about these monthly swaps I signed up for

lol if only i could be lucky enough for my girls to go broody , i wish they would , so i can give these 6 bators a break lol , i had to throw out 82 eggs today cause of the storms apparently they messed with the bators and the laying of the hens and made a mess of my pens too ....

I'm glad mine are going broody, since I still don't have my breeds seperated

But let me tell you, there must be something in the water this year, I have never had so many broodies at one time! I think my max so far was 15, but some of them quit the nests. I have right now 9 hens with chicks, 7 hens on eggs, a broody rouen duck, and 2 broody guineas

I tell ya, I sure don't need this many babies!

Lol. I told a few friends to let me know if they get broodies, since I've got scovy eggs coming. I wonder if a little OEGB hen can set a dozen scovy eggs?

Can I put Muscovy eggs up on the crazy egg train swap? Is that something that people might want?

Sure! What colors are your birds? Pictures would help move them.

My muscovies are black and white, one is either a ripple or barred, I'm not sure the difference, one is white with a black spot on her head, solid black, and the drakes are soilid white and black & white.

Oooh, pretty. What does anyone on here know about the new law against muskovies?? They are sure in arms against it on the yahoo groups, but I don't know if what is being said is true or false, or just rumor.

 

[fancbrd4me02]

All I know is that they are going to change the rules at some point to let exhibitors/private ownership, and that they are not going to "go after" people who own muscovies privately. It may require legbands or a permit at some point.

I got my cochins from Little Ameraucana Mom today. All of them made it intact! Have not candled them yet, but I am sure they will be fine. Thanks!

I've got to stay away from the crazy egg chain! It's going to be the end of me yet!
