Boy, I hate popping in during an AWWWW session or when something fantastic happens, because it makes me feel silly when I have a bit of nothing much to share! 
Ummm... I scored a local source for gorgeous BCM eggs and will pick up/buy half a dozen this Friday. (I also gave a BYC "business card" to the source folks because at least one of that couple really belongs in BYC!)
That makes two breeds I am hoping to hatch: Black Copper Marans and Penedesenca!
Luckily, two flock hens (Grace, a bantam EE and one of the Penelopes which are BCM/Silkie mixes given to me as chicks more than a year ago) have decided they want to sit on ALL the eggs laid in two bucket nests. I can put some of the BCM and Pene eggs under each AND Sparkle the House Silkie, who went broody a few days ago.
