I'm locking down some bantam Faverolles, a couple LF Faverolles, and a couple LF Ameraucanas tomorrow night. AND after being at the show this weekend, gotta fire up the "extra" bator! LOL More bantam Ameraucanas and Seramas!!!

Thanks, but didn't the quail win? I thought they hatched on Sunday...maybe I misread it....not that I'm ungrateful!!
