    CHICKS FROM EXHIBITION QUALITY PARENTS

    I am wanting Silver Penciled Rocks. I just lost my only male unexpectedly. When do you think you will have these available? I'm in CO Mtns so am not in a hurry for chicks.

    Uzi, please don't beat yourself up. I think you are a great bird owner. Polish are not a hardy breed at all from what I've learned. It may be genetic, certainly seems like the line of birds you bought had all the same issues.

    maggiemo - I will let you about the silver bantams. Percheronchick - If you end up with any extra LF silver ameraucana males, please let me know. I have 4 LF hens and have not been able to find a guy for them.

    I have buff Chantecler birds from Fowl Stuff. You have to give them tons of time to grow out, like months and months. I hatched 3 last September. They are just now getting their size. The pullet isn't at POL yet, doesn't even look close. You will be amazing how stocky the little ones will...

    I'm at 8000. I have had good hatches and lousy hatches so don't know if I'm any help at all. When I have problems it seems like it occurs at lockdown as well. Anyway, I use a Lyons TX-7. I try to keep the humidity at a wet bulb temperature of 84 and then up it to 90 for lockdown. That is...

    Duane Urch/Turnland Poultry Question

    I received my order from them yesterday! Mrs. Urch called me early Tuesday morning and said that my chicks were shipped out Monday afternoon. The post office called with them yesterday morning. They seem to be doing well and are a mix of what I ordered. So far I'm very pleased.

    Well, we got about 2 feet. It melted a bunch yesterday, but it is snowing hard again this afternoon.

    I'm at about 8000 ft. Build them a good shelter that they can plan on staying in for several days with snow and wind and all. I agree with the larger combed birds getting frost bite, but that is mostly a rooster issue. I think all the breeds you mentioned should do fine. The EEs do fine...

    Duane Urch/Turnland Poultry Question

    I think you should definitely call him. He has certain hours that he wants to be called in the evening and I would respect that request. I had sent an order in through the mail and never heard from him either. So I called him late February and some of his breeders were not laying yet. He...

    The chicks arrived in the morning with only one DOA. The rest of them all look good. Pretty exciting that they are ok.

    All that snow on the front range is crazy. As for us in the mountains, no snow at all. We had cold wind and sunshine all day yesterday. The bad part is I have chicks coming in the mail. Well, they were supposed to be coming sometime today. I hope they aren't stuck in a snow drift somewhere...

    Thanks everyone. Yes, I live in a beautiful place. Sometimes frustrating when you can't buy the stuff you want anywhere close, but for the most part great. I have my first bator of eggs set for the season and hurrah, candled eggs and they are fertile. I have bantam cochin and welsummers in...

    Wind ugh. I thought it was going to blow our house away last night. It did move the goats' shelter about a foot, broke an H-post in the horse pen that was already old and buried my milli-fleur cochin coop door and waterer. I also have a little bantam OEGB hen that sleeps under the cochin...
