It should be okay, they are really hardy.

Ick, I hate WalMart. I try my best not to go anywhere near it. I'll take Alderwood Mall in the holiday season over Wally World any day.

No, my son is hosting a 3K track time-trial between his school and their rival school. KMHunter reffered me to Marjorie Best and she has eggs I am gonna buy. My DW is gonna be so eggsited in 3 weeks.

I got my sweet little Miss To-too from Marjorie Best at last years show. To-too is so sweet and docile, and is a gorgeous porcelain color. Marjorie only sold her, because the porcelain color isn't recognized as of yet.

I told her color was not important, she said they will be bearded silkies. I am calling her tomorrow afternoon(my DW is home and almost spoiled it when she opened the laptop and I had an email from Marge) but luckily she just thought it was a question being answered by someone on BYC. Whew, almost spoiled the surprise part. I can't wait. YAY
I don't think that Marjorie lives very far from you either. I am excited that you are going to be able to get such good quality Silkies. Marjorie has been showing chickens for more years than most of us have even been alive. She was very informative about the WFF club, and showing.
Does anyone know if she will be coming to the show next week? I would love to meet her.

I can ask her tomorrow when I talk to her.

Is there ANY hope Latte might end up looking like the hen in this picture some day... http://www.ehow.com/info_8513252_chicken-breeds-lay-brown-eggs.html

Latte today:


I know, I'm pathetically desperate trying to "make" Latte be a girl.

Don't sweat the little stuff girl. I got ya covered Make sure to bring a crate /cage to the show and NO backing out now!!

LOL, I was just going to add my 2 cents when I came to your reply so I'll just add it here. The REASON females don't like to be told what to do is because the males don't usually know what they are talking about!

We have a plastic dog crate ready to go. Can 2 birds go home in one cage? Thanks!

Does this sound like "broody" might be in my future? Do I need to get my broody cage built sooner, rather than later?

Yesterday Rhodie laid an egg in the nest box. I took it out. Rhodie went back and laid in the nest yesterday evening even though there was nothing in it. She was there last night, too - but she does come out. I just went out there to check on the girls, and Rhodie was in the box - sitting on an egg. I took the egg, popped it in my pocket, and put Rhodie up on the roost. She hopped back down and started walking toward the nest box.

If this behavior came from Drama, I'd be expecting it. I've read Brahmas tend to be broody. But Rhodie? She's my only layer right now. I don't want her to go broody!
