Bee, we need pictures of the Roo!!!! I love cochins...
I just totaled up my egg numbers for January! I gathered 259 eggs out of at most 14 birds.... I added four hens toward the end of the month, so at the beginning there wasn't as many. I am loving those numbers, but I know that my Golden comets are going to end up burning out very quickly.... I never get less than 4 eggs out of the 6 of them, and most days I get 6. I have 5 more pullets to start laying and my total will be up to 19 layers and 2 roosters... If I end up with a broody anytime this year, I will probably let her hatch some chicks to replenish, but I don't think I am going to be ordering any to brood on my own... That's too much work, and my hands are already full!
I need that rocking chair in the corner! I'm trying to make some major decisions about trying to go back to school and finish my nursing degree and then going on to get my Masters in Nursing Midwifery. This is going to be a major undertaking, with 4 kids ages 7 and under, and I am still trying to work out the details and logistics of everything. I'm worried that I won't be able to manage everything, but I really want to try. I put college on hold to have my kids, and now I think I want to jump back in and get it done!
