It is indeed a beautiful day! That is great medicine for the funk I have been in. Wonderful Blue Sky staring me in the face as I type this.

my "illegal count" has dropped off over the past couple of weeks. But yesterday I was back up to 10 for 12. This time of the year, that seems very good. Still looking for that illusive perfect egg day.

No worries. Whenever you are ready.

I still haven't built the second roost yet anyway...

While I was in Oregon, two more of my pullets started to lay. Yay!

Indeed indeed - Finally got our yak to bottlefeed!

I'm really hoping this weather holds for a long time, because my garden desperately needs some weeding, and our 1.5 acre garden needs to get started. Time to rototill!

The weather is nice enough that I'm even letting my chicks in the brooder get some sun.

Ron I just realized yesterday that my Golden Feather Membership has lapsed.... So my inbox was full, due to the smaller storage amount I guess. I have deleted some things, and will try to get in and do more tomorrow. That is why SCC's messages didn't get through.... Thanks for the heads up both of you.

Easter Eggers, say it. . Easter Eggers.

If you picked up real Araucanas, you'll be paying an arm and a leg. . . And a long trip to find the birds.

Easter Eggers are what hatcheries, and eventually local people, sell in the claim that they are Araucanas or Ameraucanas. They're mutt chickens who lay different colored eggs

I would love to see them, though.

The Mommy looks just like this wiki white hen.

Yes in deed another wonderful Feb day. And again we stood out in the yard and watched the bald eagles soar above. Only 6 today but still an awesome sight.
I have a buyer for the left over hay and they started moving some of it out today. As soon as they get it all out of my barn I will be able to start building some brooder pens.

Weave I will need toknow who I am getting stuff from. Hope the stuff ya are getting will make the trip ok in the back of the pickup.

Hey it just dawned on me I haven't seen tomatolady here in ages has anybody heard from her?


OK now I could really use some serious help. Does any body know of a good INpatient facility for addiction recovery? Out patient won't work. I need help!!!! My eggs aren't even due to hatch till monday and I am already gathering to set more eggs by tuesday

If it really is, please tell me who and where you got them from.

I'd love to get my hands on a couple, as the only Araucana breeder I know in WA is in Bellingham, and usually just sells adults.

And post pics!

if I did seem harsh, tell me - I'm just tired of hatcheries making people believe that they have Araucanas or Ameraucanas. . .
