congrats!!! you are indeed pretty close to me...i have a bad habit of buying more chicks, so if you ever need a replacement, lemme know. I have a batch of silkies due this week as well....guess i need to contact the lady about them, i think she said lockdown is due for the 17th...plus got 6 in the brooder now, 5 penned up in the coup, and 8 more living the dream along with 3 guineas....

chicken+math=Doghouse!

HA! Yeah, we've been hit by chicken math already.

I would LOVE a Silkie -- there was someone on the BCS Freecycle last week giving a bunch away ... I responded too late!

Hmm.... wonder how much trouble *I* would be in if I surprised the Husband with ANOTHER chick!

SOOO tempting... how much are you asking for the pair?

The TX House and Senate is trying to pass Animal ID bills again to track animals.

While it is being billed for brucellosis tracking, the wording leaves it open for them to be able to require identification and tracking of any animal for any reason. Meaning people with animals, such as backyard chickens, could be forced to tag, keep meticulous records, and possibly even pay money just for the privilege of having laying hens in their backyard.

These bills were just filed last month and they are already trying to get pushed through. Which is really fast and makes me wonder who has what agenda going that they are getting this law pushed through so quickly.

I would urge everyone to contact their house and senate reps and tell them to vote AGAINST HB2311 and SB1233.

ya know.. i thought they figured out last time that we didn't want to drink that koolaid...

Here is a photo.

We raised 17 Greenfire line EO's last year and two Skyline cockerels. Our flock is currently 6 Greenfire pullets with a Skyline cockerel. We have a back-up Greenfire cockerel that we are willing to rehome with one of the Greenfire pullets if you want a mature pair (we are only 45 minutes away).

Your eggs are going in the incubator tonight, Curtis. **bounces** I can't wait.
