Great lines behind the AMs, they would compliment what I am working with too!!
I am interested...But can't get out to L'Burg until next weekend....I have DH's Bday tomorrow, I am judging a dogs show at the Fairgrounds in Nashville on Saturday, and picking up a female dog to breed to one of my studs in Bowling Green on Sunday...
And I just came in from an emergency call in BrushCreek...A dog was shot through the front of the neck with a 22......Lots of cleanup and support therapy...But I just got to eat dinner, and now I am going to shower and go to bed!!

I'm so jealous! Donna, that maran egg is gorgeous! So exciting. Maybe by this time next year I'll have a maran laying those gorgeous dark eggs.

I'm missing Marans eggs, too. However, I have already arranged to get those in the spring. Since I hatched out 5 Welsummers, I'm hoping to get some pretty dark and/or spotted eggs by springtime - if all the chicks aren't roos. I keep looking at all these chicks trying to see signs of roo of hen. But I have no idea right now.

My egg carton is complete!

I found a nest box full of eggs and found another new blue egg layer and I looked one more time before I left and thought "I should look in the MARANS too" WHAT A SHOCK!

They are only 20-22 weeks old! I didn't expect eggs for another month! Now I think I only have one hold out on the 8 MONTH OLD PULLETS!

I hope that was not too much build up!

Mine are 2 1/2 and 9 mths. The 2 year old is easy.... Lets go to bed is all it takes. The 9 mth old has his own schedule... need to fix that fast!

My hens are 26 weeks old and no eggs so far.

It may be another month before I get any from the other 5.

Bad bad, Becky!!! Now you are tempting me!!!! These chickens are like crack and you guys are the pushers!!! I do feel better this morning. I know it was only one dose of antibiotics but I don't feel like I need to go back to bed.

Just let me know when we are getting eggs again after the first of the year and I will start my little collections so I can have a bigger hatch...

Hoping to get all the walls up on the pens today and maybe a roof!!!

Moving day is going to be soon. The runs should not take as long

Now getting the electric fence (free off freecycle

) working my be more difficult. It is 300ft from electricity. Never done that before.

Do you have solid black Marans yet? I have the most beautiful pair from Becky's chicks but I have decided I DON'T need another color so...man the roo is purrty and the hen isn't anything to snub either

They are 4 months or close to it BIG and it won't be long for those eggs I think they would look real good with your others

Pip,pip,pip.....
