Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[Hurley]

Watching the snow blow in, very pretty, but I'm honestly quite ready for spring to hit.

Had some handling time with the chickens and ducks which DS2 absolutely adores. Couple pics of him with one of TerriO's ducks - think this is a drake, looks like he's got a black spot coming in on his head. Man these guys grow FAST!

Am I here? Doc no skipping over my posts. I asked a question about how long do I let the broody keep the 5 eggs that haven't hatched. What's the trick again to check for viability?

Do you know where Brandon is? It's kinda small... near waupun

That's quite far for me. It's a 5 hour round trip.

glass of 100 degree water...if the egg is good,,it floats and the chick will wiggle the egg in the water..I am sure there are more..

Quote: Hmm... wondering how to get some of those chicks up here?!

Did you ask them why color the Ameraucanas are?? Love to get more SFH, BCM and maybe Tolbunts.
Wonder if they are on BYC??

I'll be in Madison scrapbooking for the weekend March 8-10th....

Quote: Cuties.it was sweet of you to offer..

I am driving 5 hours to deliver a chicken..not pick one up..we all do different things. It will give me an oppertunity to learn from others and chicken chat!!
