Mama, mine are gonna be Mutts...but you're welcome to some hatching eggs....

Blarney, that picture reminded me of a story.

When I lived in NJ at my parents, my sister calls me at work one day. "There's a goat on the porch." Now you have to understand....my parents live 1 block off Route 9, for those actually originally from PA, Route 9 is a decent sized highway. In the Lancaster area, it would be like being 1 block off 30. So of course, my reply is, "There is NOT a goat on the porch, you need a life." "No, seriously, there's a goat on the porch!" was her reply. We went round and round. I finally put my boss on the phone with her, and she told him the same thing. So I asked her to send me a pic on my cell phone. There was a goat on the front porch! We lived in a development of 2 blocks by 2 blocks, and knew none of the neighbors had a goat. So she called animal control and they came and took the goat. About 2 hours later, the Mexicans who lived in the single house out in the middle of the gravel pit come looking for their goat! There are still pics playing as the screensaver on my mom's computer of the toy poodle checking out the goat!
 
My hens have pretty much quit laying, no artificial light, etc. All first year pullets. I was surprised this morning when I found a pulley egg. I know it's he first, since all my eggs are brown, until now. Finally, an EE pulling her weight! Worth the wait, to me. All my others lay light brown.
 
[COLOR=0000FF]I'm sorry.  I didn't realize yours weren't laying....  Maybe Chad's chooks can give all ours a pep talk?  I would go out there RIGHT NOW with the cayenne....except then the goats would all follow me back to the house.  Everyone is fed and watered, and the goats are staying put.  So I don't wanna go out and temp them into fence jumping or they will spend the whole day doing this:[/COLOR]

They are adorable, are you planning on breeding or are they strictly pets??

Nice! How old was the EE? My girls are about 6.1/2 mo old and my PBR's just started laying. I have 2 EE's. my husband wants to see a blue or green egg..... LoL. The chickens are my project, so I am surprised at his interest!
