I saw Bridgets White Faced Black Spanish when I was down there a few weeks ago. Stunning birds. I tried to get eggs, but none were available. I reckon she is incubating everything that comes out of them. If anyone who knows Bridget has not gone out to her place, DO IT. It is...

Jeremy, I just locked down eggs from Bridgitte. They included a few Faverolle, a bunch of Andalusians, and a few Orloffs. I can't seem to get any of the Sumatras to lockdown. I really need a good Sumatra cock. She had ?s about the fertility in the Faverolles, but they seem good...

Thank You Cheryl, hard to take bad pics of chicks...they stay still way better than older birds. Also, I still want to get with you about the Birchen Marans if they are still around. If not, no worries, I lagged, I understand. I have been super busy on the farm lately.
Jeremy, I think the...
