Way to go!
Good hatch and best wishes on the new ones.
I don't even remember how many I sent. It was every last aj egg I had.
So did we time it right and all the eggs get there same day?
GUESS what Hatched !!!???
I now have 15 Black Java chicks (and I think Robin sent all the mottled gene eggs ,but a few)
Still have 1 marans egg to hatch and 1 BLK Java to hatch.
1 OE she sent get murdered by fat fluffy butts setting on it's pip whole and I found it to late!
I did get one to...
I have both of my dickey 3 tray bators packed full.
I have some the go down this week and I have to save a spot for my sq jg's eggs I'm getting. They are so full I gave up and gave eggs to my broody turkeys. No since wasting good turkey eggs she is going to work for her room and board
Yeah Robin beat me into it... ;) I am selling the lav ams for I have a place for the. Blk Javas & No I will not be upset if I get the mottled out of them. Hubby is selling off his blrw's too. Not sure what he is going to do/get yet. Fine with me gives me room to spread out some more :D Plus we...
Stop your bragging!
Just kidding I have 16 to l/d the 20th
what are those grey looking chicks in there?
Way to go on the eggs hope you have a great hatch!
I may be wrong but I think you have one (top left) that carries the Mottled gene that does show up from time to time in the blk genes
Cute chick pictures everyone! thanks for sharing
I remember all the way back to first grade class that we hatched chicks in. I can remember pushing my way to the front to see the eggs getting candled up to hatched. Boy was I one upset kid when we were not allowed to take the chicks home as the teacher hatched them for herself
That sounds like a fun day best wishes for a great hatch. Hope you share some pictures.
I to have some black java eggs set along with my auburn Javas .
I can wait for the new ones to hatch!
I suck at chicken math and Iknow someone else that does too. I added black javas to mine.
not saying any names but they are adding blue jersey giants to their flocks.
To tell the truth I don't name mine till they are all feathered in and show who they are in their personally.
Unless its one of those rare chicks that touch you in a special way.
I do have a idea for names. Being one of the oldest breeds in the USA .
Why not use historical names? Maybe...
Yep I see her. Thanks for the info. (now that both of you got me into trouble with the mottled gene) I know what to look for when I get my eggs hatched to start work on the java project.
No with the colors I would say that's a good name. Most of the time the beaks will go ahead and fill in black.
I have yet to get one to keep the split color beaks. Some kept a very small area of "white" but the rest turned black.
They are really great birds. It's hard to believe not many...
Very nice. When I first breed crele in my oe I used a cuckoo rooster over a solid hen. All cockerels where cuckoo . So if you use a solid rooster over a crele hen the pullets should be crele and cockerels should be solid till you get the one odd chick that is crele and a cockerel then you breed...
