Great to see other Nova Scotians here! Good luck with your winter projects and hope to see you posting about your flock! Shawn

Quote: Oh thats trouble! I feel your pain. I have one White Chantecler Roo that jumps on the back of bog turkeys to peck their head and neck. His name has become "Christmas Chicken Pot Pie", but I call him all sorts of colourful things when I am in the yeard with him. I should through in...

Awesome little chicks! I am jealous that some people have the weather or conditions to have eggs hatching at this time of year. Quote: One group came to me from Quebec, and the other from a person here in Nova Scotia. The Quebec eggs were a bit of a bonus, as I was looking for Chantecler...

I am extremely fotunate being from Nova Scotia and having 2 unrelated Silver Grey Trios. I am hoping the winter is mild and short and the incubator full of eggs in the spring. Possibly helping a few other small flocks of Dorkings get established in Atlantic Canada. My biggest issue is that I...

Dang, thanks very much, but....... now I am confused, I will have to post a pic of the one I THOUGHT was a WJG. It does not look like the 2 above.

I just ordered 30 nipples from CCOnly, glad to hear you are happy with their service.

I had a variety of eggs in my incubator. White and Black Jersey Giants White and Partridge Chanteclers Australorps Ameraucanas Silver Grey Dorkings So, I think I know that I had 1 White Giant, 1 White Chantecler, 1 Ameraucana, 3 Dorkings, and these two little puff balls. Any ideas? Thanks...

Unfortunately from my 4 Chantecler and 3 Partridge Chantecler Eggs, only 3 Chantecler's and 1 Partridge Chantecler has survived to day 10 in the incubator. Hopefully that's the end of the losses and all goes well from here. All 8 of the chicks are doing great and growing like weeds.

Performance Poultry - Ontario DH Heritage Poultry - Quebec Two I know of.

I am no expert, but I have been told the hatch rate goes down after about 7 days from lay if you don't get them into incubation. Good luck!

I just picked up 8 Chanteclers about a week old. Hopefully they with the eggs in my incubator will be the start of a healthy happy flock Of course as you can see there are several types of eggs in there, but I am hoping that with a good hatch rate I can trade a few of them with...

I don't have any Dorkings yet, but I do have 6 Silver Grey Eggs in the incubator right now. Hopefully I have a high hatch rate so I can start my little flock.

What breeds lay a pink egg? I Have heard of Green, Blue, White & Brown. Punk would be awesome to see.

So if I post more, like on this thread to get a higher post count my Sig option will eventually appear? No problem

Where do you get Ringneck Doves? I have never heard of anyone selling them. We have lots of wild doves though.
