Our chickens survived AMPv. I think I posted about this last fall... but it's been a long winter!! We lost a quarter of our flock but we finally know. We also know the silkie breeder is going out of business that started the whole problem. The girls left are laying including the surviving pullets!! Just in time for another egg price increase. Thank God. Our egg fridge is full .

I was just wandering through the forums and thought I'd leave a little update. Dylan (seabright/mille fleur hen) has been laying for a couple months now, Timbit (oegb bb red) is gorgeous. However, he's not mating material because he's too small to mount everyone but my goodness he's my loudest bantam rooster other than my porcelain booted.

Oegb is finally in adult plumage, I was definitely wrong about the crele. He's a bb red, crowing, and non aggressive. My seabright cross is outside in his own condo area. He's small but has a mighty crow. He grew to be a little more than half as big as his sister and they are friendly but my seabright hen cross is slightly high strung like her mom.

The person that was supposed to take the crele never followed through... but he's such a sweet fella we've decided to keep him. I also made a mistake about the crele pattern as he's now 8.5 weeks old. He's a bb red

Well, I had another person contact me about the crele oegb and I explained the situation and she's willing to take him on and had bantams his age as well. Fingers crossed.

Lost home for oegb. Silver duckwing had to be culled because of injury I was unaware of until I opened them up for the day after my last post. I'm devastated.

Found a potential home for my oegb.

They're starting to crow.
