Did you really ask that? Me ... .when am I setting eggs again..... LOL.

that is the FUNNIEST thing I have ever heard. When I get a FULL tray of eggs or 2 trays or 3 trays. I set 81 eggs Monday.... I have room for say.... 360 more

BUT to be fair 13 of those were shipped and 25 were for an order and most of the others are to be sold.

Leah I'm no Vet, but generally a pale or purple comb would be cause for a little investigation. How is she doing and please share your findings...Chad

VIOLET UPDATE: Yesterday morning I investigated the poop...and it all looks normal. Nothing to indicate parasites/worms. I spent time with the girls yesterday afternoon as they free ranged and the comb wasn't quite as pale as this picture...it was back to the pale pale pink that has been the norm since the molt started. She is showing no signs of illness. She is eating and drinking, actively scratching and foraging...happy as a clam. I am hoping it was just bc of the bitter cold of that day. I will be keeping a close eye on her though.

I will... they will eventually all be up for grabs as I intend to pull the barring gene out and run them all back over some blacks.

I need to hatch a ROO first. Like I said I have 2 of 4 egg developing now. So we will see if I get a roo or not. I can hatch eggs in a few weeks or months (when do you think the black pullet I got from you will start laying) I also have 18 LF Choc Orp Eggs coming in the Spring. If I can I will try to get some more eggs. His eggs are developing GREAT Really. Sent me 22 (from CA) and 16 are developing.
