Egg candling is one of my favorite things to do.......even though it can be a little tricky with Ameraucaner and other dark egg layers.... So, what did you see????

I set 19, All bantams - silkies, seramas and oegb.
The biggest chickens I have around here are Red Jungle Fowl which are still pretty small. I didn't set any of those this time.

I am currently growing my collection of seramas, there is mostly boys though and they have started a gang in my backyard. I'm really hoping for some girls to take there minds off of robbing the other chickens and graffiti-ing the walls!

Yes, no matter how many times you scrape the walls clean, they just come back and do it again!

Hi - If you still need a good home for your boys they are welcome in my flock. I have LOTS of chickens and I always welcome healthy non-aggresive roosters if they need a home. Just let me know.

I should be getting a Superb TRIO of COCOPOP seramas from Florida, next week. I am very exicted about getting my hobby underway!!

Congrats to all the egg hatchers!

Your peanuts are cute, Cara. I feel so bad for those little guys. Reduced to being called packing material...

Not that I have any great ideas on what do do with all the extra roosters that hatch. I just feel bad for them that they aren't deemed valuable.
