This weekend I am going to my churches womens retreat. I can't wait.

I have to talk to my husband about turning the eggs that I am getting tomorrow from the may swap.



I told my husband that I need to start selling my little roos. He told me to wait to make sure they are roos before selling them.
And he doesn't even like chickens.

Have fun! Good luck with your eggs and hatch!! And see? some peeps do come around!! LOL!

I'm in Redmond and am saving some eggs for my friend. I have a Blue copper Marans Rooster and mix of hens. I have been saving some EE and Marans eggs for her. I can save some for you too.

Good morning! Another beautiful day!

Does anyone have hatching eggs for purchase or trade (see my link in my siggy for trade!) in the Seattle or on the Eastside? I would love to get just four to six for my broody. She's already been cooking the ceramic eggs for four days!

Icelandic is what I've been hoping for all year - but the website that has had them available all year when I've been checking is now sold out!

Figures!

And my second choice fell through - her girl is broody too!

Now I just want to relieve the poor girl and give her some real eggs

Let me know! Thanks!

CR - I end up here mighty often. I can learn about chickens on any thread. I left one because all they did was try to outbrag each other CONSTANTLY, to the point it was just plain nauseating. The Washingtonians are comfort food to me just like ice cream and chocolate candy. When the ice cream and candy are gone, I still have you guys, and thankgoodness you aren't fattening. I'm not from these parts but, way across to Chicago area. Chicken Lady granted me special dispensation to participate here and I get bonus points because my son lives in Redmond. This is sanctuary - plain and simple. the very best place to park your butt and lurk or contribute. Love you guys - big time!!!.

Dolly, one of my Spitz hens is broody. Unfortunately for her, she went broody while we were away. The kid taking care of things had been instructed to gather the eggs, and he gathered them. She has two to sit on. Spitz are not supposed to go broody. I hope she doesn't quit on me. If she does, I'll call Dawn and have her put them under her broody.

We're in Omak too...and my husband's in the same camp as yours, sounds like He went to the feed store to pick up 2 speckled sussex that I ordered and came back with SIX more chickens..got suckered in by the cuteness factor, I think. I just found someone in the S. Seattle area that is selling Welsummer and Cuckoo Maran chicks, and since we're going over for a visit Memorial Weekend, I got two. (I didn't ask about it before hand, either..just figured in this case it might be easier to say sorry afterwards then have a long discussion about how we really don't need any more chickens

Since you're local: we also ordered from a hatchery and some of our little younglings are boys..and we just can't keep them all. We have one Golden Laced Wyandotte cockerel and one little Mottled Cochin Bantam roo that need to find new homes. If you know of anyone that can have roosters (sounds like you might be in town) feel free to give them my email: [email protected]. These little guys have been hand raised, held constantly and are quite friendly and will fly up into your lap.

Are you on FB??? There is a Oroville/Tonasket Buy sell Trade and one for the Omak/Okanogan. That is where I listed my Roo and I already erased the posting since they are gone but there were a few people interested.. Let me know and I can get you on the list so you can post on there Cause yup I am in town. Darn it.. lol

Well, we have been so busy with outdoor chores that I hardly have a chance to sit & read here.
Not to mention that my connectivity is so sloooooooooooooooooooooow it is driving me nuts !!!

Yesterday we got the drip irrigation almost done in the garden & green houses...YIPPEE !
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice to just set the timer & the garden gets spot watered exactly where the plants need it and I do not have to drag a hose around & stand in the hot sun !!!!!!

We are infested with clouds of noo-see-ums.so we have to slather up in DEET every morning before we go outside.
A few more days of dry heat ought to kill them off.

Now I have to go shopping....so will try to get back on later today.....................Alot cooler here this morning with coastal fog.but it has been in the 90s here on our south facing hill.
