I finally caught up after trying for 3 days. You guys can chat... That lady in the video forgot to mention the chicken math factor...I got all eggcited

the other day when I came across some Lavander Araucana eggs on ebay and bid/won them.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lavender-Ar...SISUhvUlNQ19aaXR4eI2w%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc



Only to find out, it is not an acceptable color and most of the eggs are actually green not the blue that the breed is suppose to lay

, I should have checked that, my fault. So my hopes for quality pure breed breeder stock of a flock is dwindling fast.....Now I am waiting on some English Orps from MA and some BCM from a hobbiest in Hershey. I was going for a colorful egg basket but now IDK.

If you purchased via PayPal from eBay, aren't you covered by protection? If the seller claimed that they were something they're not, you may be entitled to a refund. That doesn't help your eggs...but maybe you could get others?

I went through and hit the quote button but had to take a break to make lunch for the kiddos....now they disappeared! Ugh.

Today is day 19 for my eggs which means I do nothing but stare at them. I promised the kids we would go somewhere since it was raining this morning and have yet to make it out the door.

I found a solution for my silkie who kept laying her eggs in a bucket out in the yard. I moved the bucket into the coop and now she lays them in there. Not sure why I have the hubby make nice nest boxes when a old bucket will do!!! lol.

I have to clip the scovy's wings. I watched a video on you-tube to figure it out, it's really not that hard, you just clip the flight feathers back to the length of the other ones. Only clip one wing so they can't get lift. Repeat every 6 weeks or so as needed.

Her first born at least can knit or crochet or something.

The top one is totally me!
