I can also offer eggs to help!

One of my two prodigal sons have returned. He missed someone a lot.

So, Stanley Roosterface seems to be recovering just fine. He's definitely putting on weight. And his energy is back. Blanche tried to escape the run and my knee jerk reaction was to put my foot out to stop her and hold her back, which obviously set her to sqwaking. Stanley didn't like that. He charged at me and tried to kick me, but he got a nice shove with my boot. Came at me again, but I hollered "Don't do it mister!". Stopped dead in his tracks and scurried back under the coop.

Rose had an empty crop 2 mornings in a row, so I released her to be back with her flock mates. All seems well in the chicken yard. While she was quarantined I figured out she was the ONLY one who's been laying eggs. Both the eggs that first day, were from her. I was wrong, Blanche is not laying despite the fact that she's definitely more developed than the 2 other ladies. I was convinced she'd go first. From the looks of things, IF does start, they're likely to be fertilized. I sometimes forget that she and Stanley were so sickly when they were babies that I have no idea if there's any long term effects to be discovered. She's definitely his favorite. Rose is somewhere in the middle development wise. It seems her pattern as of now is 2 eggs, every other day. While she was in the crate in the kitchen, the first day she laid one perfect egg and then a shell-less one. I assume because she was only eating yogurt that day. Either way, it's still kind of surreal that eggs are being made in my backyard. It was even more so today when I picked up the egg and it was still hot. So cool. In total, 5 eggs since the 21st. I'm assuming, for her that is a good thing? I sure hope the others start laying soon. It'll be just in time for the second dose of ivomec so we can have our 2nd 7 day withdrawal! Just our luck.

I guess good things come to those who wait, right?

Wow! What a time you and your chickens have had. I think I would have just run away from home

you want 6 chicks from my australorps and 6 from my ameraucanas?

the issue there will be this, the only rooster I have is the ameraucana, so the australorps are gonna give us olive eggers. The blue ameraucana chicks, being a blue rooster and blue hens will have some potential to turn out splash, black or blue.

So let me know for sure you agree to take them and we'll hatch some for you.$6 each for the blues and $3 for the others sound fair? I paid $8 each for my blues and that breeder gets $40 a dozen for his eggs........which I think is crazy but if he gets it more power to him


@carcar - I'll take what ever chicks come from mine, yes.......what ever Kat doesn't buy

PapaChaz,
I'm also interested in some blue ameraucanas. Just for fun

I have a question for you ma'am. The eggs I have I started keeping out of the fridge this past saturday, so up to 10 days, right? if I bring you those sunday or monday, they should still be good to go? We're going to the lake friday and saturday night, but will be home some time sunday afternoon, so time I get my friday sat and sunday eggs, I'll have plenty for Kat and me, if you wanna put some in for feathersaloft, find out how many she wants

All we can do is try bring them and I'll put them in. I've had some older ones do fine, and of course some fresh ones that don't cut it.
