I'm having Ameraucana envy!! Congrats on your hatch!!
 
I am in Southern Utah and just got my first chicks 5 weeks ago, I am loving them! they are each so sweet and different! I am keeping 25 chicks until my friend gets a larger coop then just 10 will stay with me! I have 6 Americaunas, 2 black and white polish, 1 silverlaced Wyandotte, and a mystery chicken, I just can't figure out what she is, but I love her!
 
I can't believe how innundated Ogden is with chicks right now! I wanted a couple breeds (five chicks) from Sandhill and of course got my obligatorty 25 chick minimum. I have Crevocoeurs, Golden Spangled Hamburgs, and Black Pendescencas. No bites on KSL. I'm only asking $2/chick if anyone wants some!
Man, if I wasn't full up on chicks right now, I'd take a couple of them from you, for sure. I'd love a Penedesenca, purely for variety. Darnit

Hope you get some bites soon!

As a side note, today Howard and I are celebrating our 16th anniversay!
Hmm, maybe I'll order Deleware eggs?

Congrats, you two! I'm glad you had a fun time together. And DON'T YOU DO IT on the Delawares! *shakes finger* Pleeease, my sanity is hanging by a thread.

So let me tell you my egg nightmare........
Good gravy! I'm sorry you've had it so fun. And by fun, I mean awful, of course

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery and a good hatch, to boot!

Red--- I did not get Delawares, you can relax lol I was afraid to for myself as well, I know I would have wanted some.

Oh, bless you, Lisa! Much as I love those Delawares, I don't have any room for more babies right now. Plus, I told the boyfriend I would stop adding for a while. Why did I do that?.......

Oh, Red, I'm sorry you lost another bird. That would be so frustrating! He wasn't your favorite though, right? I thought one of the mutts was your fav. I hope you can get that *^^%^* coon killed.

Thanks Sphinx. I couldn't have put it better, myself. Yes, it got the darkest cockerel that was my boyfriend's favorite. The mutt I like is still okay.

that darn coon

i tell you i am about ready to camp out with your flock with a gun in hand.... do you know anyone with a trail camera that will loan it to you to try to get the thing on camera?

Tell me about it! I'd have done it weeks ago, if it was an option for me. I really hate this thing. He's smart, and he keeps dodging the traps we set out. We're working on a way to dupe him into walking into a trap inside the coop, with the chickens safely enclosed so he can't get them, no matter what. And thank you for pointing out the listing!
 
Check out this egg!!


No idea who laid it and it is even more bizarre than the photo shows...




BTW I will have extra Delaware pullet chicks on Friday if anyone wants some...

Have any of you heard of the coup tours on June 23? Christy from Shadowbrook told me about it when I picked up a spare incubator from her. its where people in the
Salt lake Valley open up their coops and people drive around and see them, She was told to expect 300 cars. Crazy, sounds fun. If I can find a link with more information I will post ir. So I have a spare incubator now, tomorrow I will go back to post office to get my other eggs and we will see what happens. This chicken venture is taking over the part of the house that the cats don't. The incubators are on the kitchen table. Cats aren't allowed up there. My husband is wondering id pretty soon I'll have another venture that will move him out. I told him Nah I wouldn't do that I needed him to build me a bigger coop
 
STOP with the Delawares already, sheesh.....never should have said it, right Red? Hey isn't that a delaware in your avatar, the one you lost? Now I want one even worse than before. And Hattie is coming back through here from Idaho Falls, hmmmmmm..... Time to ban this thread for a day or two lol

Ok how much? Did I really just ask?

Birdguy, That egg looks like a paper lantern with wires in it. Is it a chicken or turkey egg? Crazy looking! You should save that pic for a contest, craziest egg I have ever seen. I will sell ya as many Black Jersey Giants as you want if I can get them to hatch. Seems like random good hatches, random bad hatches, hoping for a good one.....I am selling them all, trying not to keep any this time. But eggs are in the mail so may be toward the 4th of July before I have chicks. I will definitely be up in ID Falls around then though. you get your pick after Daloorashens. Ha ha Daloorashens you make me laugh. You have the chicken bug. Takes one to know one! You have it bad lol
