Compared to my really light eggs from my buff and bantam, she really makes the egg cartons look nice

Other on the note. I want to an antique mall yesterday. I saw a cute egg create. They wanted 42$ for a crate that wouldn't even hold 24 dozen. I throw them an offer but they declined. I want online and found a egg crate for 28$ that looked just like the one at the Mall so now I'm getting a way cheaper egg crate

It's funny you should mention antique egg crates. Just yesterday my wife and I were discussing what I should do with all of these old wooden pallets that we have. She suggested that I repurpose them by milling and converting them antique-style egg crates and poultry crates. The wife loves finding ways to keep her semi-retired hubby's time occupied...lol

Flowerbh,
Do you have pics of your Chocolate Orp parents?   I'm going to look at some adults today, but I have concerns about the tail colors on the male.


Hi all!  Long time no chat!
Basically I needed a break, since I brought some chicks home, quarantined them 30 days, put them in my grow out pen and lost ALL my growouts.
My swap chicks from the cook out last year, my welsummers, marans, speckled sussex, black & blue Ameraucanas, EVERYTHING in my big pen.
Over 100 when all was said and done.
Had the state vet out, she said it was ILT (Infectious Laryngeal Tracheosis) and that everything in that pen would be a carrier IF it survived.
I had to cull what didn't die.   

Then I sold everything in the adjoining pen, just in case, with a disclaimer that they MIGHT be carriers.   They were bought for eating so the family didn't care.   
Broke my heart to load up some of those!   All my RIR, BBS Ameraucanas, Silver Laced Wyandottes,so much more.     

It really took a lot emotionally, so I kind of dropped out.


Luckily I had separate pens on the other side of the yard with my Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ams, my Lavender Orps and Ams, my Silkies and my Buff Orps (although something got their rooster so they are just for eggs) and I switch shoes between sides of the yard.
5 of each breed.   

I'm starting over as far as my big pen with a Cackle Surprise (or two) and some quail.    I've been loving my Cackle babies, and am going to try to frame up a bigger brooder for them today.
Hubby will finish if I can start it :)


I'm supposed to go look at a good friend's English Chocolate and Chocolate Cuckoo Orps today,   3 hens, 2 roos.    That would fill my last separate pen.    

I've read about the last 4 pages, trying to catch up a little.    
I have missed you all, and I did appreciate Flowerbh checking on me before the Newnan show.   I told her some of what had gone on, why I had disappeared, But I have missed you all!

I feel for you it's heck to loose so many
 
Talking about building stuff out of pallets I'm in the process of trying to build a chicken tractor out of some. Its slow go thought . My little helper is 18 months old and she likes to play with my tools and hide them on me.

Without context, it's hard to say how big he is. We're so used to looking down at chickens, yet this fella fills the frame and seems to be a giant. But look at him when he passes by the pop bottle feeder and you can tell he is big, but not enormous.

it would take more than you & me to eat THAT pot of dumplins, that's for sure!
