I'm doing rowans, ruins, ru-uns, rowangs, or ruuns. Rouens.

 
I'll be doing White Plymouth Rocks and Barred Plymouth Rocks.  Put me on the list, please.

 
What I set will depend upon who goes broody.  My tried and true Australorp will get Mottled Java eggs  super excited because I have wanted these for over two years!  

No one else has ever set before ( I was able to break the flower pot setter by putting an upside down bowl in her "nest") so they will get homegrown...either project Silkied D'Uccle or Hybrid; Del over California Grey.   I am hoping the hybrid makes a sex link.  I have only hatched one before and it was a cockerel.  Jet Black with a white head spot.  Want to see what the girls look like.

Tonight that cockerel is whats for dinner.  I am braising him in cranberry wine sauce.

You definitely need to post the recipe for that cranerry wine sauce!! Pleeeeeeeaaasssssssse

 

 
Sounds delish!   

x2! we had cilantro lime chicken tacos! HEAVEN!

That sounds like a recipe worth looking up!!

I just put in another batch of turkey eggs and some mutt ducks. This is my 3rd time trying to hatch Narragansett turkeys. Last two times I've set around 16-17 eggs and only had 2 hatch. The first ones suddenly died at about 3 week. Of the two two that just hatched, one of them has been wobbly from the start and looks like it's not going to make it. I'm hoping third times the charm.

I'm going to gather more turkey eggs to hatch out for the hatch along to, but I don't know if my marans are going to give me any. They suddenly stopped laying so I might need to buy chicken hatching eggs if I don't want to hatch out mutts.
