Hope you are having a good time back here in the states! I know I would be pulling my hair out with worry. My animals pretty much keep me house-bound, because I KNOW, no one around here would take care of them as I do. Friends all laugh when I hear a roo crow and I can tell who it is, or when I call them by name and they come arunning for bedtime!

Folks around here think chickens equate to KFC, so that tells me everything I need to know!

I hope your chickens are doing well while you are away village chicken! Have you heard back from the people watching them? We are so fortunate that we have neighbors who take EXCELLENT care of their chickens and when we are away, they take the same kind of care of ours. When they are away, we do the same. It works out awesome! Here's to fabulous neighbors!!

How'd things go with the test hatch, Randy?? Hope you got what u were hoping for out of it!!

loprettaerin, have you gotten any pretty new hens to post pics of??

Just have one new young one but still to earlie to tell what she will look like but she is from the same place my other ones came from so hoping she will turn out just as pretty. I still need to take a trip to the breeder directly but need some funds and time to go there. We are breaking 2 wild calfs right know that we brought home to wean from the farm so kind of busy with them at the moment. They will be showed next year for 4H with my kids if they calm down enough buy next july lol
