I had 3 hatch on day 20. Two had stopped, so I got rid of them. The last one has a chick in it, dark and heavy, but it is day 25 tomorrow, Friday. What are the chances it will hatch in your opinions? I kind of want mamma to move a bit, but she is determined! The three babies ar thriving and so...

You must have a good recipe for those, 22 cases! I just did 25 lbs yesterday. Processed them outside on a camp stove to avoid the heat in the house. I don't have a tried and true recipe, but am always on the look-out ;-)

Those are very pretty Easter Eggers! I love the dark and light contrast on the bottom one with the black beard. Kind of what I am looking for this spring when we swap out some older hens. Either that or Olive Eggers.

Wanting -2-3 pullets - EEs or Australorp?, open to other layers - just not white (too hard to hide from the hawk nesting next door.)

"Purple Rain" I may have just dated myself !

Does anyone have a pic of what they might look like all grown up? I have a Black roo and Barred Rock - curious.

Byc, wine, poker

Quote: she is one of the great ones. A friend has some of hers and couldn't be happier. We love big pics, the better to see them my dears

Here's Penny, I should have taken the pic a couple of weeks ago, before they started coming back in.

Round 1 is wazine, the next round will be ivermectin. Dose that after 10 days, then 14 more before I would sell them. However, wondering if I could feed the 10 day eggs to the dog? There is no labeling for the ivermectin since it isn't labeled for chickens. Just wondering if they would be safe...

Just wondering. I know some people eat the ivermectin dosed eggs since that is what people are wormed with. I read somewhere on here that wazine doesn't effect dogs, to scramble and feed it to them. I wouldn't sell them, but are they safe for us to eat?

There is an ameraucana forum further down this page. There are a ton of people with the BW. More knowledge on that forum about Ams it would make your head spin. Great peeps.

Blue wheaten ameraucanas are a pure breed. There is no cross.

Not sure what to do about this guy! I lost his mate, well didn't loose her, hawk took her...He is still young and very handsome. The 2 other girls, BSL, I got him with are his family. I'm pretty sure it would crush them if he was gone. He was supposed to be a she, oops. Now I think it is...

so I should stick with either black, lav, or lav splits? don't they breed lav back to black to improve color?
