Purple eggs?!
No, can't, must not. SO saw those on Easter hatch along. Don't even say there is a possibility. I don't have room.
Edit to correct spell correct.

Yep !!! will be shipping as soon as this crazy weather settles down,,,,I thought about trying to get some from silkie also, maybe have 2 different gene pools to gather from, but wasn't sure how much you wanted to take on ...

I'll just stop getting new birds for awhile...LOL that'll make DH happy.

maybe I should stop drinking coffee.....
i could look you eye to eye  if I stood on a chair.....

LOL I think it's a bit late to stop the coffee! We tease the littles (their mom is only 5 ft and the almost 3 yr old fits in 18 month clothes....) that we put coffee in their bottles so they would never grow.

Purple??? Purple??? Hell, I'd drive to Ohio for that!

I thought Chad was like 6 foot?

6ft-5*9=3 inches=ALMOST

LOL no, he won't fall for it....

BTW, have I mentioned that I HATE pulling wallpaper? Forgot to get DH to help me move the TV, so can't get the strip behind it and up on the wall. Moved the table so am working on the little section of the wall. But my shoulders do NOT like this!

Mr Green Jeans is wonderful! I can't believe I was ever concerned about having a rooster! Now if I could get the ladies to quit pulling his feathers out at the base of his tail.....

I keep hoping he'll warm up to my older flock of 7 hens... He seems like he tries at times but he's chased them away from his ladies enough times that they don't seem very interested in him... I tried putting him in their coop the other day after they were all out free ranging together and they did really well until they went to bed, he didn't like them up beside him on the roost and was picking at their feet, so I put him back in the other coop.

Anyway, we just love him! He's a very good boy (most of the time... Lol) it's just amazing how he keeps both flocks under his watchful eye and control! Thank you again!!!

We hold him regularly - much to his dismay.... But I think he'll survive! Only attitude is with the older girls

Try spraying the base of his tail with BluKote (not sure on spelling) They may give up on the area if they don't see the skin anymore.... it's not the prettiest color stuff, but seems to work great! a dose or two may give him time to start filling in feathers where they've been pulled.

Quote: The poor thing only lasted a few hours. She seemed so sturdy, but I think there may have been internal damage. I didn't see the bloody spot before the Bluecote, but with the way her legs looked, she was always getting picked on. She was also the tiny one. I saw her, and thought she was a week old. I was told she was older, and the same age as everyone else in the tank. I looked in, and they were almost the size of the Leghorns I have already. They are 4 weeks! Like I said, I am glad I bought her. I gave her a better chance.
Then again, maybe I shouldn't have seatbelted the chicks to the tour pack?

Quote: Nope

Hey all, just a question. With strong storms expected the next couple days, what do you guys do if power goes out and you are incubating eggs???? Anyone have suggestions for how I can prepare? Wish I had seen the forecast earlier for hubby to hook up the generator. if it holds off til he comes home, that is what I am gonna do.

The hot water bottles, the right spot near a fireplace (not too close!) and Hot Hands hand warmers.

Quote: But, I HAVE to! I can hatch my own EE and Sex Links (black and red!) AND! Olive eggers!!

Sheesh I am 5'9-10 and nobody would ever let me get away with saying I am almost 6 feet!

Oh and for the record, if I stop drinking Coffee, sell/short Starbucks stock.

You made me think of the Adam Sandler song, "7 Foot Man"

Pretty sure you have figured out by now that I take great pride in laughing at everything. Helps me avoid the crying!
