All of our canisters and towels in the kitchen have chickens on them... they go right along with the Egg Skelter I have there.

Yeah, I'm a chicken maniac.

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
I'm a schitzophrenic chicken maniac,
And so am I !!!

Thanks! Me too! *vibrates with excitement* I have at least one egg from her so far. I'm trying to bribe them with treats, hehe.

I wanna join in on the hatch!! I have some in right now but should be out in plenty time

And a lock n is where usually a bunch of teens have a get together of some sort. With shaperones Whether it b skating or games or whatever and its all night and its " locked" per say that no one leaves kinda a big slumber party but no one sleeps ( hoped that didn't make u more confused) lol

this is a church event where we have about 150 teenagers boys and girls. We have food, games, live band, and a message for them. They spend the night and are locked in. No phone, nothing but interaction with other kids same ages. Where we all come corporately together to praise and worship, to glorify God. Awesome to see lives changed!

Ha, ha! Too funny!

Check it out, how easy would this be??

If there is such a thing as too many chickens, I think I must have passed that mark a LOOOONG time ago!

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.

LOL!!!!!!!!! I cant believe you named him ugly! lol I pray he ends up to be king somewhere!

I would like to join in on the hatch.
