Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Didn't find my pullet search every where .  she was Cream Legbar Am cross and I wanted to see how she turned out . I don't know if the fox got her or not .  I don't know how the game turned out . NY was hot 3 to 0 when I went out to do anything to take my mind off baseball . I get so into LL and it stresses me out . DW was going nuts watching it.  I'm thinking the L.Os are all clear but maybe one and then the two blood rings . And I can't see any movement in the one ain't giving up yet . been busy day won a folding table in a drawing at the electric Coop membership meeting and ran into some friends . also found a good fridge for egg storage .On C L  . Pretty soon going  to see if the fox comes back Only this time 22 mags instead of bird shot ..  

Ah dangit on all that. Hopefully your girl turns up, and I sure wish those eggs had done better. I'll be glad to send you more anytime. Wish i had known you wanted them sooner. I bet I cooked all the good ones for the ducks the day before. :/

Good luck getting that fox, or whatever is out there. Nasty b-tards.

I remember Turk told me she expected them to taste better, but she wasn't so keen on the first ones she processed. I'm not sure what happened after that though.

ETA that is a great thread!
Nice. I remember reading somewhere that you had D'anvers, wasn't sure what else you had.
He is pretty!

Bresse are supposed to be finished a different way... fed milk and something??? Dunno, but that's what makes them taste good...

ETA, hang on, am getting the pics... was a long day today...
Took 18 drakes to auction...

24 Apollo babies...

Last one to hatch has huge double tufts...

Set 34 or 35 eggs... had 1 or 2 clears, think 3 bloodrings... a late quitter... 29 went into lockdown... 2 DIS... 3 internal pipped and drowned due to lots of excess fluid, humidity was 40% the entire incubation... even 2 dozen hatched, a couple double tufts, a few single tufts/uneven tufts and *maybe* 1 has a tail, all the rest are rumpless...
