This little duckie is doing MUCH better Horray!! It is swimming like a champ and using that little foot really normally now. The niacin (and tons of attention) worked like magic
So....now what to do with it? Evidently it is a Mallard. Anybody want it???

So glad!!!!

Those poor babies and their problems....

Does any need any egg cartons? I bought a huge bag of them and no longer need them since i'm reducing my flock. I'll sell them for ,25 each, I could send them to chicken stock if anyone wants them up that way.

I'm sure if you send them up they will sell..... I'm interested!!!

We're having a major debate here on which breeds to keep. Asher's been cranking on about starting to breed Ameraucanas ("fluffy cheeks," as he calls them) and, when I pointed out we only have room for four breeds up at the land (I will NOT build yet another coop up there!), they started muttering amongst themselves. All by their lonesome, they decided that the obvious answer was one of the current breeds would have to go (we have my BLRWs, my Isbars, the Cream Legbars, and Joel's Welsummers). First they said it would have to be the BLRWs, which I practically starting shrieking denial over. That stopped that pretty quickly. Then they muttered some more amongst themselves and came up with the idea that the Cream Legbars would have to go. Oy. Really? I've spent a lot of money and effort on them! Zach was adamant, Joel didn't care as long as his Welsummers stayed, and Ash, well, let's just say Mommy has a little influence there. I'm currently in negotiations to try to convince him that the crest on the Cream Legbars is just as cute as the "fluffy cheeks" on the Ameraucanas. Not sure if I'm going to win this battle, which would be a shame, since I have probably a dozen Cream Legbar females out in the garage as well as 2 nice looking Roos and 3 hens up at the land.

Hi Coridae,

Think I read you have your coops in Duchesne, or near (I could be very, very wrong), however I have started doing Legbars, AND am in Duchesne. Would love the option of purchasing what you have if you decide those are the ones that need to go.

Thanks,
Christina

Donna you can't get rid of your legbars! I was planning on buying some from you next spring when I'm ready to expand my flock.

Hi kimmypie

,

If Donna was to consider selling them to me I would definitely hook you up next spring!!! Just sayin'.... no worries!

I have a broody cochin

She has always been a nest hoarder, taking half the day in the nest to lay her egg each day.
The other girls would yell and yell at her to get OUT already! She only uses one nest and now it looks like she plans to take up permanent residence. sigh.

Tonight i helped my girlfriends daughter with a graph for school. She is in second grade and they had to do a graph on something at home. Of course we graphed chickens. Breeds and numbers of birds per breed. UM.......I think i have a chicken problem.... I counted chickens. I thought no way. Went back out and counted again as i collected eggs, Lifted up a broody Silkie and had to add 1 more chicken. 31 chickens counting chicks. Went back in looked at the calender to see if i missed the date on the Silkie and noticed my other Silkie will be hatching eggs on Saturday. She is sitting on 5. On Tuesday i sold 2 4 month old pullets and the little mixed rir/silkie rooster. I was thinking as i sold them i have my problem under control. We are not doing any more chicken graphs at my house!

Chicks don't count and neither do Pullets or cockrels thats chicken math

Chicks count as a negative number So the more hens you have, the more chicks you need to offset them. right? Did I have it wrong?

 

[PancakeShiners]

According to Salt Lake County, they count. XD. I can only have eight chicks and ten adults. Meanies. XP

Thought I would post this link for you guys too. A BYC interactive member map! If you are interested we would love to see your dot added. A member named Ken started this map and it has been in use for a while in the Tx thread.

I got me an Olive Egg! It isn't as dark as I want, but I have some girls that are coming up that will lay darker I'm sure. My DH says, yep, now that's an Olive color. Can't tell too well in the picture, but yaaay! Small egg from my pretty blue girl.
