Hey All! Sorry I have taken such a break from posting... Things have been very busy this year, but I have been keeping up with conversations every day.

I thought I would share my new brooder I just had custom built. I am very proud of it! Special thanks to Mr. Charles at Chuck's Woodchuck Shop for designing and building this for me.
The brooder has GQF heating elements that help regulate temperature, pull out trays that catch waste, glass dividers that are removable for custom sizes, lots of storage, and comes apart for easy cleaning! I am very proud of this new brooder, and my chicks are absolutely in heaven!

oh my what a joy that you be to have...you should be proud of it!! Congrats!! Very nice

OMG, miracles everywhere. Thank you marshy song, kiniska, DragonLady, and Renie for educating me. Handy to know stripe vs pattern because most of the time you're having to make a very quick decision.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day.

Also wanted to publicly thank Nellie for my chicks. They have the most amazing type! They are PERFECT. After all the activities and obligations today I will photograph my favorite...Emerald. Thank you, thank you, Nellie!!! Nellie is more than just a breeder. She does everything, and I mean everything, to make the buyer happy. Love you, girl!

Thank you Dee

Hope you all had a WONDERFUL Mother's day!!! Company has all gone and I am Thanksgiving stuffed (I know you all know the feeling

) and drifting quickly into a food coma.......

Thank you for the support, I am going to try. I know it is a long road with the trial breedings but I really think it will be worth it in the end. At least 50% of his boys should be pure black right?
I will keep everyone post on the progress this fall
