Quote: If they're biscuits from a can, I can do those!

I can make the best southern cornbread you've ever tasted, but I can't make bread or biscuits to save my life!

I'm thinking either would do, roll dough, or biscuit dough. Man, would I love to try some of your corn bread. It's been years since I've had decent good old fashion corn bread! I used to live in Florida, NC., and Virginia.
Hushpuppies, I would love some hushpuppies too! I mentioned them when I first came here, and no one even knew what they were! That was back in the 60's. There are restaurants that make them now, but not like I remember.

Me too, but I can make some pretty good bread. Never learned how to make biscuits.

Unfortunately, yes, there is such a thing as too many chickens.

I've had a couple broody Icelandics this winter, two or three too many trips to the feed store, Purebred Ameraucanas for sale in Queen Creek... it's just been a tough winter for me..
In the big coop I have:

8 Icelandic hens (Rose, Phyllis, Whitney, Ida, Blucey, Blackie, Arby & Cloud)
2 PW Leghorns... (one hatched from a Trader Joe's egg...she lays a LARGE EGG!) Whitey & Josephine
2 EEs... one that lays an Olive egg and the other that's almost a year old and has never laid an egg! Olivia & Blue
Larraine my Australorp (my Aunt Larrain is from Melbourne.. LOL)
"Mary" my FBCM dark layer
Olive, my Blue Copper Olive Egger
Betsy, my Barred Rock
Red, my Production Red
Rhonda & Rhoda, my 3 month old purebred Rhode Island Reds,
Snow, a 3 month old Leghorn
Buffy, a 3 month old Buff Orpington
Poof, a 3 month old Buff laced Polish
Silvia, a 3 month old White Crested Blue Polish
Delene, a 3 month old Delaware
Star, a 3 month old Black Sex link

In the West "Grow out pen" I have
4 yet to be named Silver Laced Polish (I'm thinking one roo and 3 pullets)
Polly a 3 month old Buff laced Polish
Sultan, a yet to be sexed Sultan!
3, 2 month old EEs, (Sunset, Sunshine and Dawn)
1 Splash Wheaten Roo... just waiting to see what he looks like before he crows I'm callling him Fred II
2 Icelandic roos.. I'll be rehoming the black one with white mottling on the front and keeping for a time the Crested Boy that I'm calling Vinder II
4 Icelandic pullets, 1 that is PURE WHITE..., 1 that is a pretty blue/white/red mix and 1 Crested girl that looks like my Ida and one that looks exactly like a Golden Campine
1 PW Leghorn
1 Blue Marans
1 Cinnamon Queen

In the East "Grow out pen" I have
8 W/BW chicks... looks like I have a wheaten roo and a BW roo and some that are yet to be determined
2 Splash Ameraucanas (pullets, YEA!) from a BBS pen in Goodyear
2 Welsummer pullets
1 Barnyard mix that I've named Ugly, unfortunately, I think he is a roo but he is GIGANTIC and has muffs but no beard so he must have some EE in him... I'm waiting to rehome him... want to see what he looks like first.

roos dont count so you obviously have more room than you thought

I would like to join in on the hatch.

 

[RedIII]

If anyone would like to donate hatching eggs for a contest prize, please PM me. I'm still looking for prizes for a couple of contests.

Arrgg, I wish I could donate some! But this hatch with my Icelandics will basically be a test run to see how viable the eggs I'm getting are.

On a very happy note, I have officially started collecting my Icelandics' eggs

Did I mention I'm excited? And happy?

Okay, ozexpat, before I forget to mention this yet again - I love your avatar. It's so cute! Makes me smile every time I see it.

My chicken obsession goes into the kitchen.

My Grandmother got this for me a couple of months ago... It's a baker!! I love making chicken casserole in it. and in the back is a little chicken with measuring spoons for a tail. My grandmother loves QVC and saw these and figured I'd like them LOL I love them!!!!!

Cute! My mom has already given me dish towels with chickens on them. And I clearly remember mentioning a while ago that I don't like everything chicken, I just like chickens. I think all she remembered was, "likes chickens". Bless her sweet heart

I shall use my towels with pride.
