I have a friend that just got a trio of BLRW....Just sayin in case you decide you need some eggs.
I think you must be thinking of us, considering we need another coop.

Says "she" married to "he" with HOW MANY outbuildings and animals hahahahaha!

Cyndiloo, you've got a lot of power backing you now if you threaten to rooster anyone!

Lisa, I've come perilously close several times to caving and getting more birds. It really doesn't help that so many people on here like to hatch/order such beautiful breeds, either. Like BLRW's or lavender Orps, ahem

Or any kind of Orpington. I'm a sucker for the huge, fluffy ones.

Now I need to go cuddle my Wyandottes.

Orpingtons, eh.....well.....I sincerely love my gentle giant orps, but my girls are totally holding out on me!! Only 3 eggs among them last week when I have a waiting list for blue babies.....seriously? THREE??. Their neighbors in the pen next door are laying up a storm. Free loaders.

Phoenix, aren't ya glad your wife and I are friends? I have been such a good influence on her. Another coop? You go girl

Michelle, they are just so pretty! They make the most beautiful little blue babies I have ever seen. Fluff balls.

Have you had any wheatens eggs hatch yet? Mine just barely started laying again last week.

I have some developing wheatens in my incubator finally! It took a week or two for them to be fertile after they started to lay again.

Woo hoo! That is good news! I can't wait to snag a couple more from you. I wondered if yours were on break too
Seems like most of mine are starting to lay again, except the Polish. Little by little a few more eggs here and there. Of course one of my FBCM could not resist the temptation with all the eggs coming and is as ferociously broody as I have ever seen one be. oooo she gets mad. haha. If it were summer I would dunk her, she should count her blessings.

What kind of polish are you breeding?

Exactly I can blame it on you.

only one for the chickens so far. Although there is 3 coop/runs.

"Says he with HOW MANY outbuildings and animals??"

Maybe we can share the sign

I am not the one putting up the no vacancy sign. I dont have a choice in the matter. I build the things to make it easier for the boss.

Michelle, no breeding for me, I have not gotten brave enough to keep a rooster, or decide what kind to keep. As far as eggs from my girls go.... I have gotten no Polish eggs EVER from my golden laced who is a year old...and my blue one that got bit by the dog stopped when she got hurt. She lays awesome big eggs and about 5/week, pretty good. And my third, a white with black head is only 5 months old so it might be awhile.

Guess what? My DH just showed up. With the two chicks, he kept them in the trunk....Soooo they were freezing. AND he brought two button quail home, in a second little box....I thought they were dead, not moving at all. We put them under heat, and one started moving, then the other...looks like one is perfectly fine now and the second one I am not sure, it is alive though and doing much better. He just did not realize/think about putting them under the heater in the car. He felt soooo bad! And then we felt so happy when they perked up! I went from crying to so happy. I will get pics, they are so itty bitty.

Funny dialogue between us..
Then he says "we will have to wait a while to put those little ones in the coop " :/ Ummmmm....dear, those stay in the house. They are an inside toy. He is so cute, he was trying to surprise me with the quail I was talking about getting , but did not understand the difference between the jumbo coturnix and button. I love that man for trying so hard! Bu he is a little lacking in chicken information here. I was giving him a hard time...the Delaware is probably 2 weeks old, the jap bantam a day or two old, so the Delaware is 4 or 5 times the size of the little one. Not so sure how this is going to work out in the brooder, but we are trying. " Honey, chicks need to play with friends their own size" I said.....He says "I can go get more chicks, right now, as many as you want!" Then I say noooooooooo not right now we are good. I think somebody else has chicken math around here this year.

Sundance this reminded me of when Ed went crazy hatching quail. I hope I have not created a monster

Here they are...

My dog is going to love this.

He may spend some serious time behind the gate now.
