Thank you Gina! I have 8 beautiful speckled Sussex! They are some of the prettiest chicks I've ever seen! Love those colors. Also in there is 6 Lemon Blue Cochin Bantams and 2 MFD's.

One of my Buff Orp eggs has pipped on the bottom. It has pushed a circle off but the membrane is still intact except for a little hole. Do I help him? He pipped this morning before 5am. Someone please tell me what I should do.
THANKS

Jody, Thanks again for the eggs! My first question is do you have any orp eggs now? I would love some or maybe a mix of the orps and buff silkies.
2nd question, could this be a buff? I first thought is was one of my sisters eggs, she has silkies but nothing was in a breeder pin when she...

Thanks!

Questions:

2. Do you let them free range?
3. Any disease problems?
Just some general...
Hi everyone,
