Ed!!!! I am so happy to see you here! Missed you around and was wondering what was going on with you. Yes, if you breed your Barred EE back to a BR, some of the daughters could still lay green and some brown, not sure of the actual percentage of each, though, but maybe close to 50/50.
crazyhen has one of Meg's daughters, too, and she is just gorgeous! I love to see pics of all my grandchicks!

Just set 24 Delawares and 1 lone BBS Orp egg today around 2:30 p.m. for a BYC member. Have the 28 Dels now about to go into Day 17.

You will not suck me in to your devious chick plan!!!!! Ok maybe.

Thought you weren't going to hatch all winter?

 

[speckledhen]

Thank the economy for this! I'm not brooding chicks for myself, but when there seemed to be some extra interest buying Delaware chicks from me and I needed the money, I decided to hatch this last time before winter. I absolutely can't do it anymore, though, because I need my diningroom table back for my sewing machine to make a bed quilt.

 

[gumpsgirl]

Oh, just admit it Cyn! You are a true hatch-a-holic!

 

[hinkjc]

Yup, she's hooked and you know a few of those Del pullets will catch her eye and want to stay.

Good luck with your hatches Cyn!

 

[speckledhen]

NO! No, no, no chicks over the winter! Nope, not me. Gotta focus on other things now. Trust me, though, we hit spring and I have broodies, there will be Delaware babies all over this place!

 

[Happy Chooks]

Well, I'M interested in your dellies, but I'm so far away, it has to be eggs.

 

[speckledhen]

I may have to send out some eggs here and there, otherwise, how can anyone get their hands on these, right? (That and the dratted economy

)
