That must be your tote for taking them to shows, right?

Yes, I get a lot of satisfaction out of "adaptive re-use." My chicken coop for my layers is an antique horsedrawn blacksmith wagon that I converted into a coop. It's not the prettiest, but it is very functional.

Hows everyone!? All my youngsters are due to get dubbed by the end of the month and the pullets are going to a show in november and i'll pick my top two or three and sell the rest. I havn't really sat and looked at them lately but I think i got a really nice Buff Cockerell

Alright, I have pictures to share! I had 2 more eggs from my BBRed hen hatch and I want to see what people think--do they look more like BBRed's should? I think they do.... They are shy.

This is a picture of my first chick with his cochin and silkie siblings. I think it is going to be a rooster as his little comb is growing pretty good but of course I don't know that for sure. Any ideas with his colors?

I still have 2 more eggs in the incubator from this little hen so we will see what else we get next week.

Does no one hang out here anymore? Where did everyone go? Is there another thread people are on now with OEGB's? I miss this thread.....

Maybe everyone is busy getting ready for winter.

I think you're right that your OEGB chick in the bottom picture is a cockerel. The cockerel in my duo of Quail OEGBs made himself known very early; his comb was bigger than the pullet's, but his color helped, too, as he started feathering in with a lot of gold on his shoulders. I don't really know what color yours is, but it looks similar to how my spangled hen looked as a chick.

I am so happy there are still some OEGB people out there!! Thank you for looking and yes, just in the last two days my little chick has gotten even more cockerel looking. I am thinking he is a Wheaten. He is developing the black feathers on his chest now and the wheaten neck feathers. I will have to post another picture. I am pretty excited as I love the BBReds and I think he will be a nice addition around here. These little OEGB chicks develop so fast!
