Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

DH and I were laughing so hard both of us had tears!!!!! WELL DONE I will print it and frame it in the coop!!!!

OMG! now that I can breathe again, and was able to crawl from the floor back to my chair whew!
Thank you so much W4W I LOVED IT!!

So glad you enjoyed it! Took me awhile because everything I came up with was R rated. You know, trying to rhyme with duck and all. Red is inspiring!

Oh my, he sure is

I guess that's why all but 1 egg has been fertile in the chicken coop! He has 7 hens, and he still thinks he needs a lil somethin on the side

Oh, did i mention, my turkeys arrive the 21st!

Maybe the arrival of the turkeys will calm Red down. Or maybe he will rise to the challenge!

I think that's what made me laugh the most, the last part on the Tom!

He is still fighting the guineas, i am going to split them all up this weekend.
red feels like he is a bit thin, and he is way more important than they are, not going to risk his health over it, poor guy. Has me real frustrated, I love Quasey and she is never agressive, the white guinea are pretty mean.

Red's Ode to the Ladies

I’m rooster the Red, love has gone to my head. I see ladies wherever I turn.
I love them all, the short and the tall. If she’s feathered, I never will spurn.

Guinea, chicken, and duck, oh I am in luck, for all have a fluffy, plump tail.
In the yard or the coop, use a ladder or stoop, I’m determined that I will not fail.

For the mission I’m on, beginning at dawn, is to love every lady I find.
I will strut, dance and woo, and after I do, I will love her, no matter her kind.

It’s a matter of pride, and I cannot abide the thought that I ever could fail.
My job I must do. It’s enjoyable too, and all part of being a male.

A new girl on the farm? I must share my charm. She’ll be lonely, in need of a friend.
What’s that I see? An enormous turkey…. It’s happened. This may be the end.

She’s as big as a house! And she has a spouse. A great tom who is 10 times my size.
So I think on this day, though it pains me to say, on my mission, I must compromise.

Plenty of fish in the sea. I still love being me. Hear my voice as it soars to the sky!
My charms I will share, just not over there. That big tom’s giving me the stink eye.

awesome.

4 ... 4 ... today we laid 4!

the wee gang is 12 weeks old today. they got all ruffled when I brought new straw in, goofballs flying all over the place... and then they were all up on roosts, refusing to touch the fresh dry bedding... they devoured all of their feed from this morning, but wouldn't come down to eat for several minutes...

the big gang still had feed left over from this morning, the temps are higher, mid to upper 30's, so they are slowing down on eating with the warmer weather. it's supposed to be warmer all week, 40's, with 20's overnight. it's the time of year when we get flurries of snow everyday, but it's not amounting to anything. no big storms in the weeks forecast......I am so looking forward to turning the clocks forward next week. it will still be light out @ 7:15 PM ~ sure sign that Spring is on it's way! no ice on the waterers for the last 3 days as well!

SEVEN

SEVEN.........Today We Laid SEVEN Eggs

 

[animallover505]

Seven here, too! No giants, though.

Wow! is it really almost time change already?

My eggs Arrived! I realized I didn't have a car today (hubby got called in to work) so the delivery had to be to the doorstep. My carrier has a nicer SUV so hopefully the ride went well. No cracks, so I will keep them sitting air sack up for a day then set them.

Hoping for at least 50% hatch. the air sacs do appear intact! super excited

Bunny is still laying daily, I had 2 eggs from her this afternoon, so i must have collected earlier than usual yesterday. 2 BR eggs too so I don't feel so bad about yesterday. 3 goose eggs, 7 chix today!
