Just corrected my last post about Brownie. She is definitely a hen, but I refer to her as a He all the time. Have no idea why I do that.

Its definitely contagious!  I have 1 White Leghorn, 16 Production Reds, 1 Brown Leghorn, 25 Jersey Giants, 16 Naked Necks, 4 Easter Eggers, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Buff Brahma.  Love my babies  And I want to start a flock of about 15 Brahmas and 15 Easter Eggers.  Already have a trade set up for EE eggs from a friend to hatch.  Yay!  I want to drown in chickens lol

So many chickens! I have a good mix of breeds, but a good portion of them are little mutts. I love my mutts, haha!

I really want to maximize the potential of the flock, so I really have to work on getting only hens from this point on. I think, however, that instead of buying more chickens, I'll but Guinea hens. I need some help with pest control and the chickens only help when they feel like it, haha!

I got a bit overzealous last night when painting an egg. I was determined to make an elegant looking night sky and it kinda turned into something...not so elegant, haha! It's still pretty, though!

They still need another coat of gloss to smooth them out, but once it is finished, I think it'll look very nice. I just need to figure out what to do with it, haha!

This is Equal Opportunity. When I came to this country (1975), I read about EOE in the newspaper Help Wanted as they wrote EOE M/F/H. I was new to this country and was impressed with how the folks are very open with what they say and think. Well, it took me a good while to realize that they did not mean Homo as the 3rd gender in this EOE.

Just wanted to drop a line and wish everyone a wonderful day today! Kinda windy out, but the temp is lovely!

Still trying to catch up on reading from last week. Wasn't on much due to Valentine's day,(I'm a florist, and help at the family shop during the big holidays). We did get some work done on the coop yesterday. I also scored me a big watermelon box from Wal-Mart for my brooder!

I need to set it up and I'll be almost ready for my chicks. I can't wait to get them!

Have a great day everyone!

All these posts and pics of lovely birds are giving me the chills. Chicken fever, anyone?

I have it and can't get any just yet. :/ Maybe after I get my tax refund I can start building my coop and run.

Very nice! I tried to blow out an egg once and got a big headache from it. How do you blow out yours? I can't imagine doing 13 like you did the other night without some kind of help.

It is very windy! I wanted to go cycling since I don't have kids to watch today and can't because it is too windy.

A watermelon box for a brooder? Great idea! They won't be jumping out of there any time soon.

Dr visit, $150, ear infection, antibiotics and ear drop. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow because I miss my chickens. I watch them graze from my bedroom window. That helps.

Gosh when I saw 150$ I thought a chicken went to the dr!! I. So sorry about the ear. I really hope it feels better tomorrow and you get back you your old self!

Brought home two hens today. A Rhode island Red (use the term loosely, as it is a hatchery stock, which usually means production red) and another welsummer. Everyone is in for the night and no major blowups. They came from the same flock as my other two I got six weeks ago. Excited for up to 4 eggs a day.

gran how dark are your wellsummer eggs?  i found a breeder in northern ar that sells eggs and i am thinking about adding some to my flock.  of course i will be forced to raise a few if i have them anyway

I love my only Welsummer, she lays amazing eggs
