My DH will not go with me during Chick Days! He knows that I am walking out of there with something peeping in a box!!
Congrats on the new fuzzybutts!
BTW==I bought 8 chicks last week--Speckled Sussex, Br and 2 Silkies. This week I bought 6 buff orpingtons!!
I have to thin the flock some...
I went to get some feed and to pick up some of the Speckled Sussex chicks they had in and I ended up next to the "just put out" bantams. Well, I am not a bantam person, but I did notice 2 Silkie chicks in the bunch. My DDs are going to love them!! The TSC ladies were very helpful. The one assoc...
I have 4 LF Buff Brahma chicks and several Buff Roo/EE mix chicks (hatched out blue eggs/should lay green eggs) for sale. I'm asking $4 for each. Pick up only.
My Buff's started laying around 6months. I did up the protein because they are a dual purpose bird. I give them Flockraiser, Layena and Black Sunflower seeds. I offer a lil scratch in the morning and that's it, Don't offer too many treats.

My brahma eggs are a pretty pinky brown color, so I think the offspring might be just brown egglayers. I might put my EE roo back on to the mixes.

I just hatched a Brahma/EE mix on Jan 9th. I have a LF Buff Brahma Roo over 2 EE hens. One Chick is yellow with tan stripes and the other is brown chipmunck. The Yellow chick has feathers on her legs. I'll try and post pics later. I do have some more Brahma/EE eggs I just set in the bator on...
I have 2 new fuzzy butts in the bator with 3 more pipping!
My DH made me a bator out of an old cooler--Bless him. I set 14 eggs with 3 tossed that were clear. I added more eggs--hate to see empty spots in the egg cartons. Well, last night I came home from work and 2 had pipped. Just after...
Sounds like you were doing a scene from a monster flick---anger mob chasing monster carrying off an innocent!!
I am glad that I am not the only one that gets excited to find an egg in the coop! I was doing Pee Wee Herman's new shoes dance in my yard after my 1st egg--then after each new...

My 1st hatch was a duck egg in a cardboard box about 10 years ago! I got a beautiful duckling that my DD named Ty.
Presently, my DH built me a incubator out of an old cooler. My DD is a HVAC tech and he always has stuff laying around. He replaced the water heater thermostat ( he really...
I'm thinking that since we are stuck inside, we should have something going on in the incubators!!!! My DH built me a one this past week. I put 14 eggs in at 2 a.m. this morning.

I am still sending pics of it to my family in GA. The only person more excited than me is my mom.
She is not computer savy and her cell phone doesn't get pics---atleast she doesn't think it does. So, I have to send it to my sister for her to print the pics and take them over to my mom's. My...
