Hi,

I'm looking for some fertile eggs for any of the Marans or Welsummers. And or if anyone has a few to many pullets.
Please let me know. Just want to add few hens that lay darker eggs for fun.

Thank you,
Jeff

H&R Glad the little fella is feeling better, I hate to hear of little ones feeling under the weather, not a darn thing you can do to really do to help sometimes but let it run its course.

Just called TSC in Ironwood MI out of curiosity to see what the have. Here is the hatchery that they get their chicks from. Thought you all might be interested in their website.http://www.townlinehatchery.com/hatcherychicks.htm

that and watch movies with him today, now he probably really thinks that I watch movies all day when they are at school

Aaaawwww how cute! You know don't forget to tell him about the bon bons too!

yup., pretty much the same..except mine are going to be 9 inches deep and no trellises .
and maybe a bit taller.. 29 inches is too short for Annie, and me for that matter.. not that I do much weeding..

Hey Jim, are these kind of like the garden boxes you were making? Those sure would be nice, maybe a little deeper, though

I have my stupid question of the day.....

Carol and I were talking and neither of us had a good answer- when your chick is pipping and it is a decent enough beak out of the hole, pip.... is there an average time until it comes out? We talking an hour, 2 or 8 at that point? Just curious....
We have about 20 out of original 30 that made it so far. There are still about 3 of those that look iffy, but will put them in lockdown in a few days.

otherwise it was a crappy cold day. Had an art day with a bunch of 3-7 year olds this morning. It is spring break adn we are all trying to find stuff to keep everyone entertained!

I don't know if there is an average for the time. Would make it to easy on us !!! I just read the other day that older the eggs are the longer they incubate.

Wow,
All of your posts made up for my one long one. No one commented about my "Novel" except Amyble, guess you guys just skip by when you see me post hey ?

Hey Bigz, what is an Ironwood tree?

I have some interesting trees. They are Aus trees. I guess they are a cross between a Polar and a willow? or something like that. The grow reall fast. The previous owners planted about on the property.
I"m thinking about starting some ine water, like the willows. We have a row of blue spruce we planted road side on the 20 acre hayfield but until they get bigger DH said we should plant some poplars that grow fast to keep the poachers from shining our field at night. Especiall when I put my horses out there this summer.

For all of you poopy parents out there "there is a name for what those kids are doing" Oh wait that is if they eat it. Sorry.

I was at walgreens once and the store clerk was putting on her latex gloves to go clean the bathroom, (Mens room) Someone had managed to do the same thing that was done to the crib. Obviously there are adults that like to play in their dough as well. YUK !!

All those stories remind me of a little boy I saw in my old neighborhood. He was walking down the sidewalk and decided he needed to take a P. The street was lined with old Maple trees along the curb. My house was across the street from where he was walking. It was so cute, he looked around, no one in view (except me looking out my kitchen windo) and he walked around to the back of the tree to do his duty !!!! It was hilarious, He thought he was going behind the tree but he was peeing on the tree, street side !!! Guess you would have had to see it !!! LOL

Then when I bought my next house in Racine the neighbors were telling me about the little boy upstairs (All 3 were devils I swear) going poop behind the house. It was my house's back yard but again my neighbor kitchen window was right there !!! Of course it was a little boy too !!!
You guys, I'll tell ya !!! LOL

Ok, I"m done so I don't take up a whole page, again !!!

Sit tight on your hands so you don't open those bators !! I just set some goose and duck eggs last night, Will put more in today.

Hey Jim, how many goose eggs do your hens lay before they start setting? Do you have just the sebs or do you have any other breeds? Just curious.

We always had ironwood in the pasture on the homeplace and never thought anything about them but with you guys asking I had to go look it up. Here's what I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Hornbeam . Learning something new ever day!

I'll have to see if I have any here. those leaves look familiar. Has anyone heard of the Austree ?

 

[Celtic Chick]

No, but I've heard of the Hornbeam. Thanks for that, BR!

Hey H&R, I hear Rob came and got some chickens from you. So did he wear his kilt?????

He said he wasn't home 3 hours when one laid an egg for him. Great job on starting yet another chicken addiction.
