Welcome to the thread. You're going to like these birds. They really are beautiful. OK, that being said, I'm trying to bring don't the amounts and breeds of birds I have. Most of the Phoenix were going. This weekend I posted on FB with 3 dozen eggs of different breeds and of course the...

My birds are also therapy, so I get that too. I lost Silkied AM chicks every time I hatched them, when they hatch. They're delicate, but being bred stronger, so there was a time I thought I'd never have them. I lost 6 in the beginning within 2 days and that was hard. I have a lot of breeds and...

Tabatha I've even lost chicks down holes. Gophers, snakes and one time one was attacked by fire ants and practically eaten by the time I found it and momma was making a lot of noise and trying to call it way. Yeah! Squirrels suck! I used to think they were cute, but not anymore. I'm really...

I've had up to day 28 on eggs, even under a broody. Matter of fact, that's why I had chicks hatch in the trash this week. Just let her sit and don't bother her to much.

awww Interesting

I'm not sure since I don't have whites. Just popped in to see how your hatch was going. Congrats!!# Are there more viable eggs?

LOL After years of hatching I still get down and press my face against the door to watch hatches. I have a broody hatch a bunch of chicks out in a Pepsi carton she ran off to lay in. In my neighbor's garbage heap. My grand daughter was about 5 or 6 and walks in saying "You dumb bird layed eggs...

Wonder why those Goldens aren't out. They usually hatch like champs. Congrats so far though

Tabatha, stop opening the bator! Those are in broody lockdown! LOL

Rambob it looks like were grand and great grand parents

Rambob has turned into quit the Phoenix man. Proud of him.

I buy super scratch when I'm tight on money. The one I have now is something my feed store has mixed. It's the cleanest scratch I've ever seen. Not sure where you could order it front but I'll ask them. I also buy fish oil. You can buy liquid or gel. Can't wait to see some of these projects...

I use a gamers scratch that has fish oil. I notice a big difference when they get fish oil, in the way they feather. Tails get longer and they just look healthier all around.

wish something here would hatxch

Wish you did too. They're nice. Also I may be getting out of Sumatras. Not sure yet, but maybe.

Rambob my girls are extremely broody. I was lucky to get enough eggs to hatch from them, because I gave up and let them sit. Now? I have a hen with a nest, but she isn't sitting, just guarding. Very weird. And they will only lay in a big covered kitty litter box or a medium sized dog crate...

I hear that they also do it for sexlinks. So if you aren't working on a new color, then these wouldn't be able to be used other than in working on improving Goldens? I'm not sure. But I had asked the question and then today while checking on the Phoenix chicks I think I noticed different...

I have a question. What would be the purpose of breeding Gold to Silver? Just to get better type? Then breed out?
