The gal she went to had crossed beak gals before, and this lady was looking for blue, red laced Wyandot (and she was beautiful) so I felt comfortable letting her go live with her. She lives on a nice big farm now, instead of a city neighborhood. I'd say, she is movin on up!
It was very fun!Just catching up, I've had my grandson here.
I think a silkie would be great for Hawk(e?)! A weeks difference in age isn't much.
I'm sorry some folks had little to no chicks hatch, that is so hard. I hope no one gives up though.
Big thanks to Ron for being so supportive and helpful all along, it's a ton of work, but fun as well ( I hope). Big thanks to all the participants who who always are so good good at cheering and commiserating and making us laugh!
