Ditto on that.

holy smokes! This thread is usually slow. I miss a month or so of reading posts and there are pages and pages to catch up!! Gonna go back and start where I left off...

It may be the wrong time of year. I waited months and months to get eggs from Tom. And had to get eggs shipped a couple times cuz the first batch didn't develop. I even had to have the eggs shipped in a live chick box in the hopes that they would fare better with the post office. Just saying...

Here are a couple of my blue andalusians from Tom Roebuck growing up.. I am very happy with them. Every day I go outside and look at them and think "I can't believe I finally have these birds!". lol I have two blue cockerels, two splash cockerels, two blue pullets and one black pullet...

Here are some pics of my blue andalusian chicks from Tom Roebuck. They are 6 weeks old and sooo cute!!! I hatched 1 black, 2 splash and 4 blues. Nice mix of boys and girls too. These birds are going to work out very nicely for me.

That's awesome and good learning experience. Do you have any pics of the birds?

My andalusian chicks are 3 weeks old. They are so cool looking. Totally different from my marans or ameraucanas. I thought I had 5 blue and 2 splash but I am thinking one of them might be black. I will wait and see. I plan to move them outside soon. Love to watch chicks outside, the brooder...

Thanks! My son is heading home from college, from Reno on tuesday. I was going to send him out to you to pick up eggs if these didn't hatch. I am super happy with these guys. They are going to be really fun to watch grow up.

Babies!! Is this blue?

I have 7 chicks!! Two splash and 5 blue or black. Just cannot tell for sure. I think they are blue.... I ended up with 3 eggs that pipped at the wrong end and then did nothing for 24 hours so I thought they had died. Well two of them hatched! I am just immensely happy with these chicks...

Well so far I have two chicks! I think they are blue. Hard to tell until they dry off. Two chicks pipped at the wrong end and then died. Never had that happen before. I hope I get at least one male and one female...then I can make more! lol

I came home from work to two pips!!!

I put 15 eggs in lockdown!! I almost forgot. Today is day 19. I have found the "set 'em and forget 'em" technique works the best. lol I almost took that too far! No pips so I think we are ok. Hatch day is friday.

UPDATE: 17 eggs with lots of veins and little swimmers!!

Oh gosh, I cannot even think about what I have spent in the last year and a half as I have been trying to collect the 3 breeds of chickens that I want to raise. If I added it up I would probably go into shock. Good news!! I saw a vein last night!! Now if I can just not mess them up! lol

I just got 30+ eggs from Tom Roebuck (cochinman2005) and they look great!! The first box of eggs I got from him were all scrambled in the mail I think. This time he sent them in a live chick box in the hopes that the post office would treat them better if the box was marked "live birds" and...

When I was corresponding with Butch I asked if he had any more pic of his birds that I could see and that was when correspondence stopped. I was so worried I had offended him by asking. Still not sure but I hope not. I have never been to a show so not really sure when show season is but isn't...

Has anyone heard from him at all? I was corresponding with him when I began my quest for blue andalusians but then he stopped responding to emails. I too wanted to see more pictures of his birds. I even called his number on his site and left a message, and more emails a couple months later...

Me and shipped eggs have a long relationship...not always a productive relationship...lol The first batch of eggs I got from Cochinman2005 I let rest for 24 hours, I incubated for 7 days with the egg turners off in an upright position. Not one vein developed. I think the egg yolks were blown...
