I don't like the ones that are manufactued with holes, and I try to get rid of the ones that I end up adding holes to later.  (Leg holes are OK though).

Sorry ...ment to tell you about tape...that is how I separated them as I took out of different bators so I would not get any mixed up...a couple from that pen looked more like the Mille side of things....and they were too tiny for bands! I use the paper med tape because it isn't as sticky and comes off easy!! If you had noticed I had the Amers banded so they were not confused with EEs also! LOL

Sam did a fabulous job, and TSC was very pleasant.  Weather was perfect too.  I didnt get over to see the bake sale goods, but the cake we brought was sold.  Hope it was good.

 

It was great meeting new people and meeting face to face BYC folks we have chated with.  We brought home a couple of baby chicks from Sam, and they are settling in well.  BTW SAm, was the tape on them meaningful to you?  I assume it was ok to remove it, didnt know how it did as they grow.

 

DOnt know if we will make Chicken stock next Saturday, we have lots to do here. mostly building.

ETA: I hatch those eggs in separate bators along with any other breed I have multi colors so I can easily tell the chicks apart! With some of my colors the chicks hatch soo close in color I worry about selling the wrong thing and keep separate bators and brooders! I have seen chicks sold by a  breeder who sold the wrong thing because of mix up...and its not gonna happen with my chicks!!

Sam, I kinda figure it was some sort of identification method, Not having that many eggs incubating, nor breeds, I can only imagine the complication to not mix up chicks.  You have certainly giving me ideas on how to deal with it, when the time comes.

SO far the chicks are doing well.  Looking forward to seeing them feathered out.  I hope they will be able to go in with Cujo in a couple of weeks.  Cujo really needs to learn to be with other chickens.

Nikki, what can I say, men

And no, Jackie is not on here anymore. A lot of people left after BYC changed formats. It just takes too long to wait for the pages to load anymore. Most of us went to....uh....another site.

 

If you don't find a home for your little d'Uccle roo I may take him. I have a family coming tomorrow to purchase a pair from me that are looking for SQ and that is what my MF are bred for. I even have their bloodlines of their parents and grandparents where they won in the APA shows, photos and everything.

However, I did not want to keep inbreeding them and I know your little roo is very handsome, too! Teddi does show hers, after all. And the MF d'Uccles I have are not related to hers so I would be breeding out.

 

Just let me know.

 

 

BAM he's yours! The only reason I'm getting rid of him is because the hens really can't take TWO roos in their luxury apartment. lol Let me know when to bring by... He's Beautiful although his feet feathers will be short because their coop is wire bottom.

And yes I saw Jackie was at the beach...(did you see the kite video AWESOME)....so DRIVE BY... hahah!!!! just kidding!! lol

 

Let me know when is good for you. I am home more often than you are! LOL

Jackie is coming over tomorrow afternoon or else I am going to her house. Not sure which.
