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

Do you realize that Chris and Chaos are only 2 letters different?

That seems kind of harsh for this early in the day WV.

That is rather worrying, but somehow, quite apt.
Hi Chris. How are things across the water?
Hey, Chaos. All is ok thanks, just a batch of my little blue eggs today - hoping that the offspring will also lay blue eggs. Only 7 months to wait

And your good self?

You ever catch that mongoose? Only 7 months to wait? The longest I ever had a girl hold out Was about 9 months.

I'm doing well. Chicks are growing bigger and new birds are in quarantine. Trying to think of my grand poultry plans and which coops I want to move birds around in.

No show on the mongoose - even with the body of the chick as bait. I did consider putting a live chick in the trap, and securing its leg to the cage, but then thought better of it. Coop has been dismantled in the grow out pen and i can see where the little bugger got in, so I am hoping that i can secure that area. Don't say 9 months, Chaos - I'll be almost dead by then!

So what's the sketch of your grand poultry plan?

She was a special case. All her sisters starting right around the 5-6 month range. Hopefully Mr. Mongoose makes a mistake and you catch him.

Grand plan is to breed Dominiques. Currently I have to many birds that all lay "brown" eggs that are difficult to tell apart. I need to put all the non breeding "brown" eggers in one run and put the Doms and probably all the other eggers in my other much larger run. In the larger run I can section it off to make two separate runs. Currently that should only involve moving about 6-10 birds around. I just gotta get the gumption to do it.

Oooohhhhhhh! Thanks to @RavynFallen I've overcome my aversion to fibro birds (formerly though of as "evil looking things") and I have one of her project quality ACs.

My flock is a production flock (egg sales for table use) and I am now sourcing random large fowl eggs to hatch to populate it. So even eggs from project birds are welcome here, I am breeding for quality but not show quality, and for the enjoyment of a mixed flock.

I have some lovely turkeys if you are interested in adding to your varieties in spring! Either way, Your AC eggs would be very welcome!
