But don't some Icelandics kinda look like SFHs?.... Some Icelandics even have the crest thing going?

I have 2 serama's out.

One mutt x that is black with white wing tips. The dad is actually an Americana and the mom is either a BSL, barred rock, RIR, SLW if it's a hen will it lay Blue/green eggs?

Yes. But I remain blindingly optimistic until you prove me otherwise.


I SUSPECT, that since the US source of the SFs is still rather small, they will have a distinct "look" to them.

woot to chicks! I better get the atomic clock up on my Ipad cause maybe I can have an after midnight chick. Of course, if the chick isn't out by about 12:00:05 I'll probably be dead asleep.

For those of you with waterer drowning type problems, I LOVE my homemade chick nipple waterer. just a few nipples on the bottom of a little quart plastic bucket (with lid) and the chicks will use it right out of the egg. You can see it on the left in my brooder pic. Plus no shavings in the water!

I also have 39 Various Turkey eggs in Lockdown too !!! They are scheduled to hatch NEW YEARS!

I can't wait to see the gosling!!

 

[kellyn]

Um... aren't geese and turkeys outta season? Y'know, to lay?

 

[HHandbasket]

I set a couple of days late & just went into lockdown today. Seven made it to lockdown. I think 5 of them will hatch. I will be happy.

So I went and put the warming box in the brooder box, set up the electric heating pad, tossed some straw in there. Walked away and came back to this:

and

It must be a baby shower with a nursery room tour!!! Even have one hen trying to leave a shower gift!


and yes, my man made me my brooder box too.
