I don't remember who else said that they'd set a few eggs for me....I know one was delisha.....but who was the other?

Ahhh, It's CC!

I went back in my posts....

Delisha-you are crossing your blue cockerel with your buff cross and the chicks will hatch at the end of Feb?

CC-I am interested in a few lavender crosses still. When will they be ready?

I sent you both PMs.

Hi fellow popsicles! Really looking forward to teh end of the week and a high of 20. Put on brooder lamps in the coops to take a bite out of the chill, and they still were at or just above 0 in the mornings.

I have lots of running to do this afternoon, just wanted to pop in, say howdy and that I'm not dead DrH! Then there was something about beating things with frozen dead chickens....weirdos.

Vicki: I have a Blk Orp who has been brrody for the past few weeks or so....nice thing? She is keeping most of my eggs from freezing! LOL

The weather was not to bad today. The chickens and ducks were out most of the day. The snow was not that bad, we got a slight dusting. The rest of the week looks half way decent. heat wave in the 20's.

Again..I want to state. I do not have buff orpingtons..just imported english black and blues

Felt like a heat wave today. Reminded me so much of spring, that had fried chicken, instead of doing a roaster.
Nice thread. At this time I only do meaties. Have to many neighbors that we buy eggs from. Would feel guilty starting layers.

2 days of training in stevens point ( thurs & Friday ), may have son give me a brewery tour. Though I'm sure most college kids steer away from that kinda of thing

I finally have an update about chickens!

my young pullets are starting to lay. WoooHoooo! I found many little eggs today including a medium brown I think came from one of the cukoo marans. Does anyone have an experience with marans eggs getting darker as they mature?

Now waiting for the blue egg layers to begin.
