Very proud of myself. Went to two different TSC over the weekend and all I ended up with was some goat mineral. Not that either one had a great chick selection. Bantams, Isa Brown, RIR, something else and some Pekin ducklings were what they had. And very few of each.

Ooohhh, pekins?


I do not need more pekins.

Ooohhh, pekins? 

Yes. They were at the Scarborough location.

I do not need more pekins.

Got my first turkey egg of the season yesterday. That explains why the toms were acting like major jerks this week.

Egg laying is picking up like crazy here. I'm just beginning to collect eggs for a hatch (even though I tried to convince myself not to hatch this year). Maybe I can keep it small. This winter, we tried eating our first old hen from the freezer, and it was delicious. The pressure cooker seems to make anything tender. I feel better knowing that if I can't sell my excess year old GCMs, they will make a fine dinner.

Are you hatching turkeys, SCG?

Oldfartfarmer, did the egg have a membrane? My chickens have laid all kinds of weird eggs (although if there was no membrane, mine would have devoured it!).

No no membrane it looked like if i had cracked it into a pan, just laying there on the woodchips
