Welllllllllllllll ---- New Hamps and Delawares, and my secret project eggs. Those pens are laying very well. My Barred Rocks aren't laying much yet. Oh, and I will throw in some Chocolate Orp eggs, too. I have 4 chocolate girls and they are really laying well. May as well hatch some!

Oh, and I have a pen of Marans and Wheaten Ameraucanas. (One male of each, too). I have a broody hen setting in there. Should get some Olive Eggers and/or pure breds. That pen is just for fun.

I sold a broody New Hampshire and her eggs last week.
Sounds like a great variety..............secret project eggs..........hmmmmmmmmm?!
 
Deb congrats. I love them Campines. Do you raise the Golden Lakenvelder as well?

No, I just have the silver, although the goldens would be easier to keep (no dirt/sunburn stains to worry about). But the goldens aren't recognized, it's hard enough to have a chance with the silvers as a fully recognized breed/variety.

Was the feed store guy from the Elverta Feed store? They raise their own.

No, they were coming up from down near Fresno. They just wanted one of my extra cockerels to throw into their breeding pen. Now I just need to decide for sure which I want. The one that went to the show was just the most mature.

Thanks everyone for the congrats.

Kelly, I think this may be your fault!!! Weren't you the one that wanted the updated pics of the eight Icelandics recently?

I was looking over that pen today........................five of the eight are boys!

This picture actually shows the color better.

And the terror I felt today when I did my "egg walk". We were gone yesterday for the show, so no eggs were collected. This was an 8# lamb formula bucket, filled to the top with eggs. There were 18 campine eggs alone! The bucket weighed what felt like a ton!

Not my fault Deb.

I didn't give you the hatching eggs.


Kathy -

on hatching again! Can't wait to see all the babies. I'm on pins and needles trying to figure out your "secret project".

Deb - congrats on the wins and nice comments! It's so nice when others appreciate all your hard work.

Mary - I'll swing by and pick up the chick this week.
