Quote: 60 stupid phone. I am planning on hatching 200 though. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the pics.

Quote: So did he keep any at all? I need to get him more eggs for a better selection. I've got about 600 or so Spanish eggs in the incubator now out of the birds we traded.

I have only got 3 eggs out of my giant hen. The rooster doesn't seem too interested in her either. I'm not sure if I'm going to try to get more or just get rid of them. They sure do eat a lot.

Quote: Harry Kolacz. The line he had was a good one. If you need another rooster my dad can probably help you out. PM me for details. Jonathan Hi Jonathan. How's the hatching going? Dad shut down his incubator this week. I'm not sure how many salmons he has out. My whites are laying very...

Quote: These are bantam blacks and blues. Dick though the mottled gene may still be present in some of these, so I was wondering how mottleds actually feather out. I'm bringing a couple of hens down to him tomorrow so I may bring these with me to see what he has to say. Oooooh ok. I...

If those are pure salmon you just need to be patient. They should come in all black. Some males will, on occasion, show some "frosting" on there black feathers. That is bot desirable, but don't make any culling decisions until they have their adult plumage.

IndigoJaguar, Does he have feathered feet?

Quote: Sorry to hear that. It sounds like you'll have some young ones up and coming. You should have a couple of males in there. If not I'm sure we'll have some extras a little later in the year if you need another. Jonathan

Quote: Don't be worried about color yet. They will change colors a few more times before they get their adult plumage.

Dad was at Delmarva with the Salmons. He took Champion Continental! I keep telling him he needs to show under his name for now on with the Faverolles. Peter, very nice Females!

Very true Dick. I will have them filled by the end of the month.

I thought I would show you guys what I'm doing at the house I'm renting. It was the perfect place to get some pens built to raise birds on my own again. As a few of you know my parents have been raising them the last five years while I was in college and starting a career. Anyway, here's our...

The males cover them pretty well. It's by no means 100% fertility. We will see here soon how fertile they are this year. We put the lights on the second pen over the weekend. We were consistently getting 4 eggs a day out of 7. Yesterday they were up to 6. If we start setting again next week we...

I had never heard of her before but found her website through the club. She looked to have some good ones and a whole lot of them.

I got a trio out at the APA national in shawnee. The hen is pretty good bit I'm going to try to het another male and female. I got them from Robert vaughn. He had a few males there that were awesome. His cock bird probably would have one American in my opinion but his primaries were all broken...

They do pretty well except for the beards. When they get wet and stay cold they look like crap. Mine don't have quite the beards that Peter's do but they are pretty good. You can tell in the pic. The males you have to always watch to make sure you put something on their combs to keep them...

All chicken pen building plans are put on hold because of the snow in northeast Indiana. So to keep everyone excited about hatching this season here is a pen of our faverolle breeders. We have another pen with the same number of females and the male I posted a few pages back. Dad and I just got...

Here are a couple of my pullets I showed the last two years at our Central Indiana Poultry Show. Please check out our webpage for the show. We are coming up on our 5 annual show this October. We had over 1,600 birds in 2010! http://ibccn.org/poultry/ Jonathan

Quote: Jonathan, I'd love to see pictures of your hens. Dick I am trying to dig up some pics from poultry press. I live 2 hours from Mom and Dad's where the birds are. I will get some up as soon as I can.
