So, has anyone heard of the mini reality tv series, Coop Dreams? Well, they are coming to our house at the end of April to film an episode for their show! We sent them a photo of our coop and they wanted to come and see it! It will be fun, but they will probably have to edit a lot if my DH is in it!!! LOL! All those who know my DH will understand what I'm talking about! He is the one that just posted the Poultry Stop (Thanks Feathersaloft!) He thinks we all have chickenitis and we all need to be cured! LOL.. I keep telling him none of us want to be cured! Anyway, thought I would post a picture of our coop for you newbies. Anyone want to come and help me scrape the poop out before they come to film it! hahahhahahahh!!!

Beautiful! Congrats. I know what you mean about the hubs, though.


Wait, that was a frizzled Brahma? Isn't that illegal or something?

Im one of those who adhd girls who can be carrying on a conversation and point and yell squirrel if i see one....pathetic!

My chickens crossed the road 3 to be exact and I have to go to court again this Monday and I have a choice hearing by the judge, bench hearing or go to trial, a neighbor way down the country road got mad and called animal control, and the get together is May 20th at Gam and Robo's you will have to ask them for directions, when it gets closer we will be asking who is bringing what.

I'm surprised that coop doesn't have "TRUMP" in big letters across the front...lol

Congrats on breaking into show business. Coop Dreams is on the Destination America channel.

I have a few shipped duck eggs in my bator now that have detached air sacs and some with saddle sacs.  Nothing I can do about it at this point.  I will make a note of which eggs are going to be a problem and may have to help those in the end. 

I am always sad when I am hatching eggs and my hopes are all up for a bator full of babies only to find out that a lot weren't fertile.  The 6 'replacement' eggs I got from a lady because the first ones weren't good, well only one was good!  Bummer, and I paid shipping again on those!  I won't get them from her again!!  But, when you go to an overload of eggs in the bator and you only end up with something like 30, well, that's sad.   But, usually it is on shipped eggs.  I have a friend who works at the post office and he said he has seen other workers deliberately shake the packages if they think they are shipped eggs!  Hard to believe they still have jobs there!  Some people are just bad. 

I'm grateful that our UPS & letter carrier are soooo awesome. My postal lady gave me her cell number & always helps with eggs. The saddle cells came from California. The polish bantams from Florida look great. I think distance plays a huge role but that's just an untested hypothesis...

All of my eggs arrived pristine & I picked up 11 in Griffin from Orchard Hill. I initially struggled most with figuring out the hova bator & still love the brinsea maxi but I do wonder about the effects of laying saddle air cell eggs on their sides after reading they were best placed vertically to heal.

Chicken love seems to be one of indomitable hope!!!

I had 6 eggs that were not fertile, one was a double yolker, but I still have one double yolker and can see both embryos developing

I wish I could get a good pic it is so cool to see twins,

My cousins lived in the Orchard Hill and Griffin areas, unless they've moved. Do you happen to know anyone with the last name Huey? I can't remember the other folks' married names, though. I don't have a lot of contact with them. My aunt and uncle, their grandparents, went down and lived with them until they died, their name was Whatley. But, they've been in that area for a long, long time.

I've hatched saddle cell eggs just fine. Some hatch and some don't. It just depends on the damage done to the inside apart from the air cell, I guess.

These folks were Duffey & specialize in coturnix quail & do isbars, cream legbars, Bielefelders, Swedish anconas...etc. The lady was nice but gave me some side eye I suspect for telling her I've got 30 polish rockstars in the bator with her uber chickens lol.
I knew some Whatleys but they lived over to Roberta. I've only been in Macon for 17 years & you know it takes at least 30 to know what's going on in middle GA--haha!!

I'm fighting temptation to look at the eggs again & trying to let them be. Suspense is killing me with 12 days to go!
