Just thought that I would chime in since folks were talking about where had all the project people gone. I am here in Oregon. I had split birds from Renee' and got some split and silkied from a local lady that was no longer interested in the project(her birds were from Alice fell down). I have...

Wolftracks, if your parent birds are all splits then the offspring will be Silkied, Splits and Smooths. The problem is you have to grow out the smooths and test breed them to see if they are split or just smooth. Takes time and more time if you dont have a Silkied bird of the opposite gender to...

DragonEggs, I know that ChooksChick, in Lawrence KS, has eggs available and mails them. I believe there is someone in some part of TX that also has them. If you are really looking for them, I would go to the "What's wrong with their feathers?" thread and ask there. This thread has been pretty...

Hello, My first two hatches are now 6-8 weeks old. I hatched four Bantam Cochins in the bunch. I am certain three are cockerels, they are reddening in the wattles and comb and walk tall and more up right. I had all four pegged as cockerels, but now this one is markedly different. It walks lower...

Hello all, I have been reading along on both the Mille and the Calico threads, but havent really had much to say. I do have some pullets that are sort of MF, but they are not really patterned correctly and a couple arent the right colors. I love them though, they are sweet and pretty. I have...

LBKS, I am not sure where she is with this project. It can be pretty rough sometimes, as some of these birds just drop dead for no apparent reason(probably genetic) so people's numbers and projects change. Anyway, what I was going to say is that ChooksChick is in Lawrence Kansas and she had...

itsmechrissy, those are a great shower, etc., gift idea! I think I would have to go with the scented oil idea, as here in Western Oregon we usually have a problem with mold and mildew from things being too moist! Not usually the brown sugar as it tends to clump from the moisture, but is gone...

I am probably too late, but we are hatching eggs. I was able to get into the house and put them in the incubator(its already set up and ready) at noon pacific. We were shearing today, so there hasnt been much time for getting on the list. I put in 23 eggs for the Easter hatch along, quite a few...

I am pretty sure ChooksChick is NPIP. Dont know if she ships internationally, but she is great to deal with! She is where I got some of my Silkied Ameraucana Project eggs/birds.

Mnferalkitty, Fantastic! Looks like you had lots of fun! Oh, and where did you get the goat pattern? My mom has an embroidery machine, and I would love stuff with that pattern!

He is gorgeous Poularde, lol, actually they all are! I will look forward to see some more pics.

Hi all. Well our eggs are starting to hatch here. Our first egg to hatch was a cochin, unfortunately the egg was collected by someone less obsessed than I with who it came from. LOL, she wrote "Orp or Cochin" on it at least(not that we have any other breed that lays fertile eggs the same color)...

I know folks have probably answered this before, but I have a terrible time finding things through searches so I thought I would just go ahead and ask. For those folks hatching chicks what, if any, immunizations do you give? When? and are they injectibles, if so where do you give them? LOL...

Fancyfeathers38- I think you would have a 25% chance for each chick to be smooth Ameraucana, 25% chance for each to be Silkied Ameraucana and 50% chance to be Ameraucana split to Silkied(visually smooth).

~Chickielady- I love my Chantecler roosters! I just need some girls for them! Any ideas where I can get some. I know John Blehm has them but I really dont want to have to get the other birds to go with them that would make an order. My two boys are from the only two Chantecler eggs that hatched...
