    Need hatch buddies for or close to the 18th!

    They are pretty, decided on the lemons to add to my flock because of the color. From shipped eggs 14 out of 20 is a great hatch. One of the chicks is got that splayed leg, so I am giving him a little physical therapy to see if it helps. After 13 eggs hatched, and I didnt have anymore pips I...

    Dropped an egg going into lockdown

    I am so clumsy, I shouldnt even be allowed to handle the eggs. So I was moving my Birchen Marans eggs from the incubator that I keep them in for 18 days with the turner to a seperate incubator I use for lockdown and I dropped the egg. It did smash some and some yolk came out but when I picked...

    Is it a Silver Sussex.. can you call them Silver Sussex?

    Yes, those are pretty, and that is the seller I spoke to on the phone from the UK. Nice fellow and he is currently importing some pure breeds to a breeder here in GA or AL. Cream legbars and choc orps. I asked him about the Sussex but they are not gonna be included in this first batch...

    Is it a Silver Sussex.. can you call them Silver Sussex?

    Quote: Thats my thought exactly. We need some new blood in these lines preferably from the UK. I have seen pictures of those birds and they look really nice. I have also spoke to a breeder in the UK, he said his birds are great layers, even through the winter and very hardy chicks. I am...

    Is it a Silver Sussex.. can you call them Silver Sussex?

    Here is my actual email from Paul: "I’m ready to ship your two pairs a week from today if you’re ready to receive them. I’m also sending you some extra birds that are silver x light crosses that look like lights but carry the recessive silver gene. Breed them with your pure silvers and they...

    Is it a Silver Sussex.. can you call them Silver Sussex?

    Quote: Yep, I think Paul needs to take a course in genetics, or hire someone that knows genetics. It is obvious he is giving out false information. He advertised Pure Silvers, thats what I went on. You all are right, we do not have any "breed standard" for these birds. Another tidbit of...
