OH that is you???!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I love those colors!

I'm getting some pullet eggs from one of Nate's girls, all speckley! Tiny ones LOL!

Sorry HappyChooks, thought it was YOU that sent me those eggs!

I packed them carefully so I can get some collection of brown eggs and label those by numbers of the breeders and see the wide variations of shades and colors of the terra cotta eggs.

Thank you!

Hi Louie!

Nate, what have you been up to???????? I see you are very busy!

Been very busy, im sure you can tell that tho. Havent been on here much again - its like life is slow for a while, then it just rears up, and is hectic. I quit one of my jobs on tuesday, and have been putting in 40+ hours per week at the farm. Very busy this time of year...

gearing up for the 2011 hatching season. filed my tax return, should have it shortly - another incubator will be on its way!

Nate

Must be nice having taxes done this early! I just finished figuring out 4th qtr sales tax so it can be filed on time and then need to start getting our taxes together so maybe by March we can be done

paperwork is the least favorite part of our business!

I actually love paperwork! You should see how I have my orders filed/organized. how I do my accounting on the computer. Its all done perfect. I print it all out, and go change any errors(errors are dumb as a capital letter when all the other ones havent been - ex: 15 eggs vs. 15 Eggs) LOL

I love HIGHLIGHTERS and writing things down so I know exactly.

I had my W-2's, so I figured I would get them all done now, as most people wait until way later, and I usually get a refund within 10 days if I file them right away.

I haven't gotten ALL my paperwork, all I have left is waiting for the bank to submit tax chart for our mortgage to come in so we can do our taxes. I don't think we will get much back at all, because of the 'work to pay" program that Obama passed. UGH! taxes!

If they can give me a break on getting Welsummer taxes, I'll go for it!

Nate, you got pink, yellow, green and blue highlighters all over your paperwork! Lets try to see if you can make a Welsummer highlighter!

I have an old fashion slide projector and it works great for candling dark eggs.

Good afternoon everyone

I'm not staying on right now, but just had to stop by and say hello!

I used my old slide projector for Marans eggs. Now the LED flashlights are the best!

What type of LED flashlight works the best for Marans eggs, we do use one but it isn't strong enough to do a good job for Welsummer eggs.

Is this hen from the same breeder that was selling the white eggs on ebay? Does she lay a dark egg?
