I wonder how much longer it will be before some one can tell me what mine are.

If you have more than one bird you have a roo.   I don't know of anyone who has been lucky enough to get all girls, even when they have ordered pullets.  LOL

Here's my trio...

One more of one of the silkies

Lynzi:  Nice pictures...they are very cute. 

If you mix the black with the white, do you get a pinto?

a little too far for me, which is a GOOD thing LOL. I'd love to keep hatching, but I'm going to hold steady a while. :) I keep hoping my neighbor who wants chickens will have me hatch a few for him.

Actually, I was very lucky. Two years ago when I did three hatchery orders they were ALL pullets. Of course then I just HAD to start hatching and well.. I seem to have a knack for hatching out boys. :P

Hey everyone I am looking for a local place that I can buy my feed in bulk.... Anyone know of a place? I am willing to travel....

Spent the day at the Bath auction yesterday, picked up a couple things, one of the pullets heatstroked and died before I even left tho. :( I kicked myself for not remembering to bring cages to put stuff in so they could get out of those stupid little boxes. Prices seemed good for buyers, I didn't stay very late since I had my husband bring the baby over so she could eat, lol

I was really glad to get rid of all those extra Roos, sad that some of those nice SQ Roos were going to be meat tho. I ended up holding back one Roo since my Lav split Rooster broke its neck the day before. 

I even hatched out almost ALL of the shipped Chocolate Ameraucana eggs! Might be a new hatch record for me! I tossed a couple of my eggs in there and one of them hatched with a crest? I have NO clue how that happened, I don't have any crested breeds and the hens were all locked up...

Hope everyone has a happy Mother's Day, I'm going to spend mine cleaning rabbit cages, lol
