Yeah, I cannot take credit for that pair. They are straight from Wingshadows hacienda
I called Lynne a bit upset last winter? was it? last spring? and was whining about how I never did hatch any girl that looked like hers and I was ready to bite the bullet and ship some. Lynne, you were so kind and sent some pretty little things right out. What a great day that was!!! I'll never forget the feeling of opening up that box
I have that roo in with that black mottled hen and a buff mottled hen ..both with awesome type. That gorgeous hen is in with the roo from Tom and she has such a personality. She's the first one to run up and greet me when I open the door and she would climb right into my hands if I hold them out. She's been in the nesting box ALL DAY
She's in love with babies and is the very best broody I've ever had. Last year she raised 3 clutches for me and two of the times was just because another hen went broody and a few days before the hatch, she went too.. So, she just shared the chicks. She's one of those moms that when you pick up the babies to hold, she's trying to fly up into your hands too so she can see what's going on.
Hey, I "know" it looks like I was fishing, but I honestly did not know they were from me~!
I thought they might be from my line but from some eggs you hatched. Now that I look at them, if you ever get tired of the pair, they sure can have a forever home with me
I can't wait to see what the babies look like from your pairing. I "still" don't have the type I'm looking for but perhaps this year will be the turning point.
PS Anyone who wins these eggs, will have chicks that are awesome.
