Quote: Not gonna happen! Tiny is less able to deal with Wisconsin cold than I am; Tiny lives in the house as he can't even deal with Tennessee cold. Two days ago the temps were in the seventies-sunny and warm. EAT YOUR HEART OUT WISCONSIN! 'Course it's cold and winter today... but later this week....yeah!!

I've found a source for the Royal Palm Turkeys; now to find Midget Whites.

Kate-I'm well pleased with my two frizzle cockerels from your eggs-they are looking good. Another of my serama (11 ounce) hatched two more EEs for my wife and a serama chick. Another of my smallest serama eggs has pipped so I'm hoping there will be two serama chicks by morning. This last chick will be a micro if it succeeds in hatching.

Have you noticed with your smallest birds that the eggs take a bit longer to hatch and the chicks take considerably longer to mature? Being smaller a person would think just the opposite would occur, but that is what I am seeing with my small A/Micro birds.

Good luck! And that's interesting. I'll have to pay more attention as I get smaller ones.

I had a horrible hatch from my shipped eggs. Dang post office! Only hatched 2 of 8 that started growing. 2 quit on day 8, 6 locked down. One pipped big, then quit! One hatched fine, the other I assisted and it's fine. 3 DIS around day 19.

I also set one first-egg from one of my girls (she laid it the day after I set the incubator lol) and it hatched. Luckily I had a much better rate of success with my bantam cochins. 9 of 11 hatched.

I received 18 shipped eggs 16 weeks ago from Louisiana, and 4 hatched. The tiniest died at 4 days old, but these 3 are thriving. And how lucky am I to have a trio??

Quote: He'll be 15 weeks old Thursday. 5 1/2 ounces-a slow grower like my other mini/micros. I wonder if his crow will ever be more than a squeak? Not the least change in weeks. He has started mating with the hen that shares his space.

Cole at 11 weeks-6.5 ounces. Kate he's one of yours, but I'm about ready to give up on taking pictures. Between birds not cooperating and this computer just ruining what the camera has captured... Normally he is quite upright-stance, tail, and wings. Nice trusting bird. Easy to handle as is his white brother. My wife took the picture and was going to get one of the white roo, but we decided we'd had enough frustration with pictures for one day. I'm very happy with all five; well, four anyway. The one roo w/smooth feathers is being sold. Nice bird, but another rooster I do not need. I'm still hoping to get some silkied eggs from you to get an unrelated silkied rooster from. I do have one I hatched from my own eggs-actually the tribble's eggs and my frizzle rooster. Still I think totally unrelated might be better..
