17 eggs go into lockdown later this morning. 7 silkie and 10 full size eggs from a mix of Dark Cornish and White Giant x Cornish Cross meat birds.

What a time to have eggs hatching in an incubator. I have Covid and Strep Throat. If the meds work I should be bact to 90% by lockdown time.

I've candled the eggs and as expected all of the eggs from the White Giant x Cornish Cross are not fertile. Enough are for some research maybe. Enough of the silkie eggs are showing good promise of hatching should give us the broody mamas that we need.

Our first hatch of the year should be starting 1/26/24. Silkies, American Breese, Dark Cornish, White Giants and a few unknown crosses of the above.

Some breeds are sold out now for the entire 2024 season at Murray McMurray.

I held him for some bonding time today. He fussed a little but not bad for an independent kid. He eats out of my hand and will come when called.

Here is a shot my DIL took with a phone. I prefer to use a real camera.

We took a few today but I don't like them. Going to try for some better ones tomorrow. I didn't flunk any of my photography classes putting out junk. :)

I have 4 Anconas that were hatched about the 3rd week in May. Those kids never stop moving. Always on the go looking for something to eat. They had rather be chasing bugs and nibbling grass and weeds than in a coop or run.

I'd like some seramas too. Hard to get. There is an Alabama Serama Association. I would just want a few for pets not to breed for sale or show. I love to watch the little roos do their fancy little dance they have been trained to do. I have an Indio x Aseel rooster now that is a pet. He's going...

To bad there is not a way to send hens out for stud service like they do horses....... Or even better use AI like they do with dairy and beef cattle.... I'm going to try to use AI to breed one of my really big Cornish Cross roosters to some white giant hens. There's no way that can happen...

I'm glad to live just far enough out of town to have any farm animal I want. Cattle around me and commercial layer and broiler houses too. It would be hard for a law to get passed banning roosters or pigs here. I'd like some big white geese what ever they are that make good protection for...

I just came in with another handful of hatching eggs from my 3 pens that I'm focusing on. I may have enough now to fill the slots where I remove problem eggs Saturday. It's been awhile since I've had balls of fluff to play with so I am ready for them mentally. Now to get the brooder setup....

I'd like 10 Aseels from Cackle. They have three color patterns and I don't really know what I want as to colors. Might get a dozen with 4 of each. Then I'd like a dozen Indio Gigantes from Greenfire Farms. Their ordering is about to open up and those are the number one priority for us. There...
