Lol, I'm going to keep 2 of the 6 that I'm almost positive are going to hatch, then the other 4+ however many are looking for homes! Lets see what we end up with showbarnmom! Lol

Lmao I'm waiting patiently for mine to hatch. 2 weeks left. I think. He candled them 2 days ago and said that 7 are developing. I got 11, I think. Good odds I think for shipped eggs?

I would really like to take this class as well I would consider the drive a nice road trip.

I'm going to do a quick check of the list of Auto sexing crosses and attempt to set a bunch so that when they are 4 to 8 wks old (staggered hatches) we can take a crack at it. I'll be practicing on a few here and there in the mean time. Since I havent set the eggs yet we have plenty of time to plan and we should have cooler weather.
Of course anyone who can keep a civil tongue in there mouth is welcome, as always. No promises it will be exciting and it may end up being pot luck since I work full time too.
(No laughing at my "country" set up, it may be slightly "Redneck")

Howdy everyone!
I'm Tammi from Copperas Cove. I have two little girls (Jessica and Lynn) and a adoring hubby who loves country living as much as I do.
I had to stop by and make a account since I didn't even know about Backyard Chickens site until yesterday when I became the proud new chicken mom to some BEAUTIFUL birds from a member here. She gave me the website address and told me to stop on by if I had the time. So here I am! 

The new chickens I got are 6 Dorkings (3 silver ones and 3 red ones), 6 Yokohamas (red and some pretty ones she called blue), 3 Auracanas (I think that's how it's spelled). And all three laid eggs this morning! The most beautiful shade of blue I have ever seen in an egg!
I am just so happy with my new babies. They are so friendly and have such sweet personalites. My father in law saw them this morning when he came over for coffee and asked me where I got them. So Yinpu expect another visit from me and FIL. He said she is NUTS for giving these birds away! But I don't care since we're chicken crazy here and frankly I would have taken every single bird you're giving away if I had the room for them! I might have to get rid of my old chickens to make room for some more of yours! 
Has anyone else on here taken advantage of her freebies?

BTW Yinpu, my little girls were fighting over the blue eggs this morning so I may have to get an incubator from you too. I forget, when is the class for making the capans? I know you told my husband and we have some little roos that need the operation real bad. I lost your phone number so please let me know!

I would love to hatch my own eggs but I am way too impatient. Lol! Right now I am impatiently waiting for my 16 week old to start laying. And I keep thinking she is older than that so I have to keep looking at the calendar.
