Drom, I think you're right on target about finding what hatching method works best for you in your part of the world. We've tried every different combination known to man! High humidity, low humidity, varied humidity to achieve optimal egg weight loss, etc, etc, etc......... I've noted two...

Hello, [email protected] ( David Roberts ) in Arab AL has some very nice Bantam Light Sussex. He sells eggs and chicks. Greg

Harleena, mosts of the Marans I've raised started laying at 6 to 7 months. Maybe her first laying period hit as winter started??????? Some hens don't lay well in winter. If you even have winter in California???? Greg

I have several extra roos if anyone needs them. These are from good breeding stock, just extra. Light Sussex, Gold Cuckoo, Black Bantam Cochin available. I also have some Gold Cuckoo hens laying now for $20 each. Roos are free for local pickup only in Jacksonville, AL Greg

Looks like a little Cuckoo Marans roo to me......

Do the wheatens have pink and or grey legs from hatch? It would be great if you could sex them this way! As best I remember, all wheaten chicks had light pinkish legs. I never really paid much attention, but I'll be hatching again in a month or so. You can sex wheatens at hatch. The roos...

I have a question on Wheaten leg color. In my flock, all the adult Roos have pink legs while the hens all have light grey legs. Is this typical? I'm into 3rd generation from Wade Jeane birds, and so far it has not varied. Why does the pink only show up in the roos???? Greg

Pbjmaker, here is a wheaten chick among BCs. All my Wheatens have hatched yellow. Not sure what a mix would look like???

Halo, here is a photo of the cinnamon triangle on an adult Wheaten roo. A BC wing would be black. I've noticed my Wheaten roos all have pink legs rather than the slate usually seen on Bcs. Drom, when I tried to click on the link to the Marans-Club link, my Nortons declared it an unsafe...

We had a very rare Alabama snow, and these little "chickens" really enjoyed the feeder. Greg

We did a 10 x 20 pond in our flower garden last spring and stocked it with gold fish. I had a Koi, but it jumped out! I really like the gold fish! We got "feeders" for 8 cents each and some are now 6 " long. The pond liner, filter, pump and plumbing all came in a kit we bought on ebay. Greg

Hi Renee, A friend near Arab, AL has some very nice Bantam light Sussex. I'm not sure if he's on this board, but you can contact him via email: [email protected] He had chicks a few weeks ago. Greg

Most breeders are working toward feather legged marans, but there are still some clean leg flocks around. Marans are known for dark eggs but I don't have Welsummers so I can't say how they compare. I've had Cuckoos, Black Coppers and Wheatens and the Wheatens have consistently produced the...

Is anyone raising coronation sussex? They are beautiful birds, but out of my price range! I have light sussex and really like them. Greg

Got our darkest egg so far from a young Wheaten pullet! Greg
