Yeah, you are a much better photographer than I. lol
I remember Reba well, and yes Archibald reminds me very much of her, especially now with "her" peeplets. :D
Haven't checked in here for awhile. Love catching up, though, and seeing all the latest pics posted.. Gorgeous birds, everyone!
I've got a lot of NN goodness going on right now and thought I would share with folks who actually appreciate them!
So I drove 4 hours today to pick up a new group of...
:drool :drool You folks and your gorgeous NNs. I'm saving images left and right into my "To recreate someday..in my dreams" folder. :P
Technically wrong thread, but this little cutie hatched out totally by surprise a few days ago, making it a wonderful birthday surprise (showgirl mix)
And I...
I followed your advice a couple days ago and completely assisted my first homegrown duckling. :D It was too late for his/her siblings; they quit around day 18. He was shrink-wrapped, but I caught it in time.
As far as hatcheries, the only one I know that does bantam NNs is Dunlaps. Likely not SQ birds..but still. I wish I could find a breeder here on BYC or local that does them. I'd love some, too. Trying to breed my own down in size, but all attempts so far have failed (Brinsea has killed all of my...
Thank you for the update @SlipsWife. Doesn't sound too promising so far. I'm sorry you lost all the eggs. :(
You all and your NN chicks!! I'm :drool over here! My jaw practically hits the floor every time you post new pics, Kass. Of Rudy, obviously (trying to sleep with his head tucked under...
I must be doing something wrong, because every one I've assisted, if it makes it the first couple days, doesn't survive past the first 6 months. I'll certainly work on it, though, as I'm sick of seeing fully-developed dead babies. I'm sure there's nothing basic about it, but do you basically...
@Kassaundra I'm sure I've mentioned before that I have the same shrink-wrapping issue with my Brinsea (Eco). Every single batch. Only a handful of chicks have ever survived incubation in that thing. I don't understand it, either. I don't live in an arid climate by any means, the temp reads...
This.
The term Turken actually bugs me. Sounds like something (and probably is) some poor nitwit came up with way back when, when they actually thought NNs were a turkey/chicken cross.
I have a NN hen that's supposed to be a green egger. She's almost a year old now and still not laying..gah.
I...
I'm so envious of you all finding NN chickeedoos at feed stores! I never find anything more than your basic boring layers (Buff Orps, Barred Rocks, maybe EEs).
I have homegrown silkie/showgirl eggs going in the bator now, though, so hopefully over the next couple weeks I'll have some sg peeps. :fl
Away from the thread for awhile..missed a TON. Trying to catch up.
@Kassaundra
Gorgeous babies! The Fm are stunning! I want eggs from your beauties now as much as DDDs! Especially if there's a minute chance of another little Rudy! :ep :th :bow
Good luck, little guy! :fl
I acquired a new black...
