Isn't it so disappointing when you hatch out a mix who feathers in so beautiful and looks to be a gorgeous young pullet and then decides to grow in nice, long, and pointy saddle feathers

So, so true! We have a couple who are exactly like that now, and of course they were very friendly and happy to jump on our hands and sit on our shoulders while doing coop chores also, just to make it worse!

Speaking of the chicks...






The broody continues to be an excellent Mama!

They are gorgeous, and growing so fast! I will look forward to seeing how they look in 6 months, especially that little blonde one!

Yup, picked them up on the way home from work tonight.

Only got about 40 eggs tonight, probably missed a few.

Glad you got some.... I had a nurse I know provide me with a 30gallon garbage bag full of them last month, she had found them at the hospital!! If you are storing large numbers of them for hatching purposes you may want to check at a local hospital or nursing home (or anywhere with an industrial kitchen) to see if they have the 48? count 'flats'.... I'm not sure what number they hold, but I know they get them in the bulk quantity size cartons.

For the ones waiting to be incubated, I just put them into the plastic flats that I slide into the incubator. The ones we are short on are the 1 dozen size for sell eating eggs. Still have plenty of the 18 count cartons, but many people want the dozen size.

and in other NY Eve news, I found another hen in a nest box tonight.... looks like Gracie is wanting to be another January broody! (she hatched last winter on Dec 1 and the winter before that on January 28th, she doesn't care about the weather!)

Yes, poor Mary, it is cold out there. I always thought she was hefty, turns out she's mostly fluff! I'm curious to see how the chicks turn out too, but if one or both are a Roo, I won't be able to keep them. :fl for a hen!

Maybe the saying should be : Once you go broody, you never go back. :lol:
