by the way they start out with blackish eggs and get lighter to a gray color as they go

I am told the eggs also lighten up in the incubator right before hatch..
Seriously KILLING me!

Quote: More cider?? YUM I got a pork roast in, and have contemplated cleaning the Orpington Run and coop…. can't seem to get myself to do it. Am still recouping from shoveling and way TOO much time in a car.

Virginia was sunny and 60 degrees (I noticed while walking from car to building and back again) REALLY wish I could have stayed for a day at least

During the freeze I had a downward spiral in egg production. I was only really concerned about one pen with 8 girlas and I was getting 8 eggs a day - I think they were eating their eggs. Anyways, I am back to getting 2-3 a day. The 4 pens I was getting no eggs from - same issue. I threw dummy eggs in them all and now I am getting eggs again. I am not getting the 15-22 I was, but I am still getting 10+.

Oh, and the wheaten Amerucanas are laying 3-5 a day right now. I may be able to sell some soon if they keep going!

fisherlady, I love how you used natural branches for roost and the tree stumps..

I agree, I could never get tired of looking at her coops.

really trying to make this a productive day, despite the weather...

managed to get done..

laundry detergent made
bottle of fabric softener made
dish soap made
eggs boiled and peeled to add to my pickled container


now if only I could convince myself to go out side and do some chicken work

Geez Wing, I was productive too.....I set up a gallon of hard cider.....we all have out priorities...also, I'm thawing out a small turkey...(does that really count?)

that hard cider would go nicely with the hard boiled eggs......except for those downwind..

LMBO!!

Will you be willing to ship eggs then?

Sally, that is an average temp flucuation for me,,,my house does not hold any temperatures, hot all day and freezing at night........I managed to hatch with that,,,,I think those eggs will be just fine..

Blarney, how about I keep posting as they grow then come late summer when they start to lay eggs, you go ahead and throw them in the bator, then you can say you got eggs and didn't know that they were ducks.

you have fuctuations like that all the time for that time period, goodness!

It reminds me of my outhouse at my other house, I love rustic stuff so you know I love this double decker! Fisher I forget if you said you provide any heating or no? sorry I forget everything, unintentionally

My snow paths are feet higher than my cat lol. I have lost my Rottweilers out in the snow.

I can't wait to get some eggs hatching when it gets warmer!!!! I love fluffy butts.
