Thank you for the compliments! As far as the camouflage contest goes, I was thinking something along the lines of chickens blending in with their environment. Like this and this
As a matter of fact, I do. First idea, would a totally not original one, a "guess how many candy" contest! I think I've had the most fun on the candy guessing Easter contest last year! Maybe do two, one along with the rest of the Easter contests, and maybe a second one during Easter time for us...

Wow, three weeks already! That's giving me hope that my hatch isn't too far away. These guys have such a variety of colours, they're gorgeous! I'd gladly steal some🤣
In my first (and only, to date) incubator hatch, one egg pipped as I was putting them to lockdown. So they can definitely hatch before lockdown, there's just an extra of them getting stuck
I'm pretty safe from the duck charm. I only like muscovies, calls, black east indies, and possibly exhibition rouens. There's a bunch of species I like, but as far as I know, they are not commonly kept. Plus, I can't give ducks the same quality of life my chickens have, so I steer clear, and...
