The Old Folks Home

[Arielle]

I went to track down the pics back on post 223--gosh I wish there was a faster way to jump pages, sheesh . . . .

These are the eggs that looked like Mars pictures!! Lots of red and black space around the "planet" , sorry to laugh. I don't take pics of eggs because those views are just too darn hard to get.

Wahoo! It never gets old, either!

Congrats, and yes, it's true, never gets old.

Honestly I use a real egg with a mark on it so I know it is the OLD egg. Maybe a plastic easter egg filled with sand and sealed shut? Craft stores often have wooden eggs. Let us know how the golf balls work--I've heard of people using those , too.

I've used golf balls, they work great!

Me too. If my hens had disposable income they'd get a bumper sticker that said "I'd rather be laying on a Titleist" and put it over their nest box hole.

(Bad joke...

...But I couldn't help myself)

Woo Hoo!

I have a pea-chick! You guys are GOOD at that vibe thing! Still waiting on the second one. I called the lady who owns them and she wants to raise them. She asked if she could borrow the hen to help. I am thinking about it. I would feel better about it if she had a more secure place to keep them. I am hoping that one is a boy and I can get it back. On the other hand, I would probably do better raising them here so they would be less likely to leave. Are all pea-chicks yellow? If it were a chick, I would expect it to be white. Where's Yinepu when I need her?

HAahaaa . . .I was thinking the same thing--Yinepu could answer THAT.

Congrats on the one so far .

Congrats, and yep, Yinepu..where are you?

Wisher congratulations on the first pea chick.

Keeping fingers crossed for you that you go out to the second one hatched this morning. BTW, I am with SCG, I have an off and on broody who would rather be sitting on a Titleist.
