Shellie, you're going to be so busy with those Swedish Flower chicks that I really think you should do the right thing and find a nice loving home for those poor little Wheaten AMeraucana pullets. Come on, do the right thing. I'd be willing to go way out of my way and take them off your hands for you. I would welcome the burden.
That lady in Norman you were talking about is where I got my Royal Palm turkeys last July and my 4 Cuckoo Marans. All were big strong and healthy birds. I liked that lady a lot and they seemed to take really good care of their birds. There were SO many! There's weren't any Spitzhauben then though.
Oh Robin, I'm so sorry about your little Fav boy :-( I agree there was probably something going on with him. I lost one of the teeny black Cochin bantams from Newcastle (MJ's), no idea why. Same with one of the tiny Silver Phoenix pullets, just found her dead. I think sometimes babies can hang on for a week or 2 but if they're going to go they do. I want some more little Faverolles girls so bad. If I can find homes for any potential boys I think I'm going to order more eggs from her to hatch.
Beth, thanks for the kind words about my little pullet. I could hang out in a vet medical library for weeks before I came up for air, that sort of stuff always fascinated me.
EDIT: Oh! And 1 of the 2 Silver Laced Cochin eggs in lockdown is pipped!
