The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[brahmabreeder]

Crossing my fingers that I get fertile eggs in time. I have a TON of eggs already, and it's only Tuesday( I know it's Wednesday, but they haven't laid yet. Obviously...). Egg production was already pretty high over winter and now it has gone up even more. The rooster gave me a couple fertile eggs earlier in winter. Now that it's warming up I hope everyone has chicks on their minds. He was flirting a lot yesterday. Don't know if the hens were impressed or not. I think I'll go ahead and color a couple chicks if I get enough fertile ones in time for Easter.

Oh man...I knew that. Must have been tired. Oh brother, I do silkies, so all I could think of was...Show Girl...

But I had a feeling that was wrong.

Good morning..it's only 4 in the morning here. Laid down for a bit, woke up to a lot of sound. Two more NN's and two more Ameraucana mix. I think I'm going to have a tired day. Or Sleepy day. Or Drowsy day. Or all of the above. Glad nothing pressing for the day other than getting these chicks settled in. A few more to go.

Good Morning! Glad you guys are up! Been talking to myself here. The 'Martha Monologues'. I've got a day of 'hurry up and get the coops cleaned out and drenched in Permethrin before the rain comes', kinda dreading it. Temps are going to drop drastically here too. Brrrrrrr!

Define 'decent'...5:00am would be 'decent' in my mind.

The two in bold are the best; the sex links maybe a slight bit more prolific than the Barred Rocks.

But if it were MY choice, I'd go for the Buckeyes, followed by BRs, simply because *I* want some real Buckeyes in my flock. For "pretty" and personable as well as production, you can't go wrong with BRs.

awesome! Thanks!
