Hello, not new to BYC but haven't been a regular of late. I have 4 hens and a roo, second generation from Gracie Mae's line, this is what is left post predator mishap. I would love to find either chicks or eggs as my birds lay a creamy egg at the beginning of the season not white. If I can...
Hi, wondering when you might have cream Legbar chicks and Lemon Cuckoo Orpington chicks to ship and if you ship hens only on auto sexing breeds?
Thanks,
Kris
I am looking for Barred Holland hatching eggs, pullets or hens laying white eggs (mine are laying cream eggs) from any blood line but prefer something different than Gracie Mae. I have a quad of her birds and would like some genetic diversity. Any suggestions or options would be most welcome...
Oldest to youngest:
Emerald Louise - emmie Lou; white havaneese female born on st Patrick's day (8)
Cooper Magoo - Mr. Cooper; black/white Havaneese male (7)
Cesear's Kona Kazoo - Zooba, brindle great Dane, 178#, (5)

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the breed with 12 little ones in my brooder. Was hoping someone could help me identify sex of 2 week olds or direct me accordingly. We've guessed but I'd like to to know for sure.
Would you describe the material as similar to salt crystals on the exterior of the shell? We too have material on the outside of several newly set eggs...haven't incubated eggs in 30 years. This material was not on the eggs when we set them in the incubator. Please advise!
Hennyhandler, it's been a long time since I hatched and bators have seriously changed. Kids and I are learning together. Staggered hatch is a result of chicken math! Room in the bator is a problem....
I'd love to join you. We started 13 BBS Marans on Wednesday night and have 7 more to add today. I also have 15 Basque eggs coming next week to go with some local Aracuna / Americana eggs my daughter will have from her teacher. This is our first hatch this year.
Received my RCom 20 standard today. It does have the auto turner. I believe the pro model has the capacity to hook to your computer and the digital display is enhanced. Can't tell you anything beyond that.
Please post the cheat sheet. I will be setting Maran eggs for the first time next week and would love to be successful. I've hatched before , just not Marans. I need all the tips I can get!
Thanks, Kris
I believe it does, but I will be able to tell you for sure in about a week as I ordered mine yesterday. Also just saw a post on increasing the capacity from 20 to 50. Might see how that goes in the future. PM me next weekend and I can confirm the auto turner or not.
