I'd intended to put up a picture of the other two d'Anvers at my house earlier but the weather has demanded all my attention lately. These two are from a late-May incubator hatch where he came out of the tiniest egg and she had to be helped a bit when she rolled her egg close to an air leak and...

Sorry for not coming around with photos of the kids; everybody's doing well, although it looks as if I have three Porcelain or Buff Columbian cockerels. Accidentally loaded the photo of the Mille Fleur pullet that's going back to Kristen Ramsdell and it would be mean to delete it, right?

Three weeks old, all present and accounted for.

She is also a total spoiled pretty princess. She lived in a parrot cage in the laundry room for eight months (most of them alone, since the other Porcelain pullet died just before Christmas), only beginning to go out during the day starting in late March; I got the Tower of Solitude (which is...

Thought I'd post a photo of the big kids: these folks hatched the weekend of May 19th- the Blue Quail pullet at the back had to be helped out of her shell, but was healthy from the word dot (I was using one of those styrofoam incubators, and two chicks close to the edge had their membranes dry...

Weirdly enough, except for the beard, that's what week-old Silver Spangled Hamburg chicks look like.

Thanks, I'll try to get a good shot of them later (I'm up to my eyes in alligators right now- trying to get pens built, helping my sister move cattle, and oh, yeah, my daughter's getting married on the 27th). I'm hoping for a Porcelain cockerel, and maybe one more pullet for a breeding pen, and...

To add to my d'Anvers collection, today's hatch (from eggs from Kristen Ramsdell, not from this quail hen): It says a lot about the size of this breed that that's a two-gallon nursery pot with a three-inch board for stability; I had to build a step for the chicks. Any ideas as to possible...

Thanks- It's nice to know that there won't be anything hiding behind the white!

I keep intending to post photos of the chicks I hatched from some of Kristin Ramsdell's eggs two weeks ago, but time is not working in my favor on that. I ended up with eight: one black, one white, a probably splash quail, three blue quail, one quail and what I am sure (for today) is a silver...

Oh, that's great; what an informative and amusing set of photos! Reminds me of the mixed flock of bantams Mom used to keep, who roosted under the eaves of the hay barn. Dry is always the trick: I live in Western Washington! The double-plastic thing is easier to keep from leaking and less of a...

So, I added a couple of Porcelein d'Anvers pullets to my motly crew yesterday: Yes, that's a much too small container, and yes, it's not optimal having them on the drier (they're six and eight weeks old, BTW, and were purchased at the Washington Feather Fancier's Winter Brisk) but weekends...
