to bad they don't know about us byc people, we could supply the eggs, i got 21 tonight, already have around 10 dozen in the fridge, may try to make a frozen custard myself

That's crazy!

I've gotten 0 eggs the past week, only 1 of my girls is laying (the rest are broody, I only have 3 though) and she's hiding them somewhere

thats with about 14 or 15 hens broody too, and some of my hens are around 5 years old, well, about 5, even they're laying hot and heavy
they really like the country feed we feed them

Could anyone recommend a good breeder in PA for good quality heritage Cornish (any color), Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks and Ameraucanas? I'm also interested in chocolate, blue or splash Orpingtons and blue or splash Marans (deep chocolate eggs). I'm also interested in a LF chocolate silver/or cream duckwing cockerel (no specific breed, it's for a project)

I may have to wait for next year, but want to know where to go when I can.

Thanks ahead of time,
Brenna

Wow...no kidding...talk about a wacky Wednesday......here's hoping the rest of the day goes better, missing turkeys come home, little fishes get detoxed, cats find out what happens when you mess with someone's chickens & tomorrow is a better day!!! 

Yay! My Marans chick is still alive! It must have been hiding really well. No if only it would be a pullet!

Now we just need the turkey to come home and the little fishes to get better!

Well I looked at my chick up close when I closed up the coop tonight. It was attacked, badly. . It had exposed flesh on its tail, right at the base where the tail feathers start. Poor thing. Brought it in the house to put some peroxide on it, and I see it has puncture marks under each wing. The little thing was scrappy and still putting up a fight to me doctoring it. On one side, the skin had closed but was puffing up, is there anything I can do? I just tried to douse it in peroxide and put it back in the coop. I hope it pulls through. That $&@# cat. I tried knocking on my neighbors door twice, but I don't think she can hear the door.

Congrats!
