Thanks. Also saving the blue eggs, well, all of them, not just blue and green, from yesterday and today. Niko is a reliable spring broody, I guess. This is her third year.

What would the possible mixes be? The silkies I got are really bad quality I guess which is fine but eventually I'd like to play around with my frizzled for fun mixes.
Could be mixed with silkie feathered lavender ameraucana, lavender ameraucana, Ayam cemani, welbar, cream crested legbar, or could be pure
It's alright, I never really knew about all that till my dad explained it to me one summer. But yes protect the chickens!! Depending on where you're located in our wonderful state your local gun club should have a gun safety course you can take. I know the NRA has educational programs out there, my mom was an instructor at one point. I think their website should have something? If you can't find any I would honestly start by asking your neighbor to show you how. I need to actually sort through the safe and pick out my varmit gun. We've got a lot to choose from, though I might just go with the classic .22 Magnum. That was Dad's long range groundhog gun. If all else fails and you can't seem to learn about guns/can't get one. There is another solution. It's gonna sound hilariously weird but I'm not joking.
You might want to look into a Spear. My Dad took down a rabid groundhog with this exact spear before. If that's a bit too much money they actually do have some cheaper options (I swear by Cold Steel, just saying).
Sorry if that's a bit extreme or too out there for you, but I am the one who's planning on putting in heavy duty hooks inside the coop so I can sleep in there with my hammock in case of critters....
yoopergirl---- I candled a few eggs tonight. Im not completely sure what I'm looking for but I did see some veining and they weren't clear like a fresh egg I checked for comparison! And is it possible that I could see a chick moving in a banty egg almost halfway done or was it just from turning it?!?
Thats a cool mix! Would you mind getting some together for me if you have time?
