Here are a few of mine I hatched yesterday, blue black & a splash, I love the eyes on these chicks they are so dark they look cold black.

all 24 of the eggs you sent me are in lockdown, due to start hatching today... I am pretty excited!

Julie, I've only been making soap for a month or so. I have a friend that will trade goat's milk for eggs. I found a recipe that uses 4 yolks and the milk. Haven't even tried the soap yet. In another week or so I'm lathering up with the good stuff. It's really addictive, Julie!

HardinPoultry, I'm sorry to hear about your Cock Bird.

Delisha, my husband suggested last night to let the girls eat the bugs in the vegetable garden...silly man. They'd eat all my seedlings in minutes. I guess I'll have to see which ones they'd leave alone.

Do you have the recipe? Was it easy?

I was going through my FB allbums looking for soap pics and came across this pic of Charlie I made in 2011 and just blessed my heart to see him again. I am very thankful thank to have a tub full of his chicks a week old in my laundry room right now.

Yaya, Wow! Wouldn't dream of showing you my failed attempt this year. My tomatoes and green beans seem to be doing well despite my efforts. My soaps were a hit. Made with fresh egg yolks and goat's milk. I've needed to be really creative on using all the eggs my girls give our family and the neighbor's families.

REALLY interested in how you put the yolks in there. Did you freeze them along with the milk or what? I make all my own soap plus for my friend. She loves it. For now it's just plain castile but I've made herbal scented, etc etc in the past. So simple to do and feels so good I just can't stand the thought of BUYING bar soap or even shampoo any more.
