Stan the Turken
Stan the Turken is a spaz! He is a very busy boy and is always on the move. He won't quite eat out of my hand yet but is very bossy. He is very cool to look at and I am hoping that he wil be part of the "Franken-Chicken Project." I have a few ladies that I would like him to court in the spring. I will be posting Stan's pics soon.

My daughter has a peacock. It is a vey cool bird. We got it as a juvenile around Labor Day 2008. It has grown a lot and it is starting to dwarf our other birds (they are mostly bantam sized....)
Paxton is now getting blue and green feathers on its neck and chest. We still aren't sure if it will be a boy or a girl, but it is cool to watch it grow. We are thinking of getting it a pal to hang out with. Look for pics of Paxton on here soon.

Well, we are at it again!
I received 9 Cuckoo Maran eggs to hatch from paintbuttons on e-bay. We set them on friday night along with some of my eggs: 9 ameraucana mix eggs & 6ish other barnyard eggs.
We'll see how this hatch goes. I messed up on humidity last time and only had a 50% hatch. My husband told me to keep my paws of the incubator this time and leave it alone when the chicks start to hatch.
Just a note. The packing from this e-bayer was really super! I received 9 eggs and NONE were cracked or borken. She did something I have never seen before. She put tinfoil around the inside of the shipping box in case the box got scanned! Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Thanks. 5/09/08
