4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[mrheinz77]

I got everybody washed for the show and nails trimmed. I just wish I could have gotten my bantam White Langshan cleaner. The darn girl is yellowish. Ugh. Now I really need to clean their feet and legs.

OH those are so pretty I would love to hatch some Mottled Japanes how to they handle the cold weather ?

This is my first winter with them. I plan on watching the boys comb really close, and will move them to a heated coop if I see signs of frostbite. I haven't ever had any problems with my bantams and cold, and my leghorn hasn't ever got frostbite so I'm hoping they'll be fine.

I'm afraid to have white chickens for showing, lol. None of mine usually appear anywhere close to white. Good luck at the show!

Have you tried any of the shampoos for white dogs im not sure if exactly what you wash a chicken in but I know the blue whitening shampoos worked wonders on my maltese brought all the yellow out

Thanks. I'll need to see if I can find anything tomorrow. I need to have the birds at the show between 4:30-10:00 tomorrow night. The pullet doesn't look aweful but could look better.

Good luck at the show. I'm especially waiting to hear how showing the IB goes.

Wish I could come to the show, darn on call is keeping me in Wisconsin.

I've got a variety of bluing shampoos here from showing my dogs, wish I could email some to ya. It works well on hair, anyway.

My freeloader decided to lay today. The one egg I've seen from her before now was cream with dark brown spots, this one is cream with lavender spots.

Now I really have no idea what she is. I think since we "fixed" Red she feels safer, which makes no sense to me. I wish she would have waited a little later to lay because I'd like to know what her chicks look like. To make things worst it's a really weird shaped egg. I'm beginning to think she's past laying age and that that's why this is only the second egg she's laid since we caught her. She's pretty though. At least I know I'll be able to hatch some more of my own eggs and I know for a fact I get to keep any of the Seramas I hatch. I won dad over by showing him pics.

Sooooo excited, the geese started laying TODAY!!!!! guess what we are setting for the NYD hatch!

Congratulations!!!

Got my first egg from my new quad of mottled japanese today! The egg on the left in the picture.

I will have something besides ducks to hatch for the hatchalong.

You mean Japanese bantams? Those are huge looking eggs! Wow!

The other day my leghorn pullet had a nasty poop splattered all over her (she must like to sleep under the roost!) so i couldn't take it and gave her a bath. I still had a yellowish stain there when I finished blowing her dry. Amazing how she let me wash and dry her when she's always so skittish! I'll have to remember whitening dog shampoo if I ever want them looking tip top for pictures or something ;P (don't believe I'll show, LOL)

Aww, you won him over by just being his darling daughter LOL Daddy's just can't say no, LOL. As proof, my mother took my daughter to visit the pet store, and said she wouldn't buy her anything, but my daughter wanted a mouse, so she called my husband, who dropped everything he was doing, joined them at the pet store, and bought her a mouse! That's a daddy under his daughter's charming thumb! LOL

LOL, I think this is my 4th Thanksgiving where I didn't eat till I got sick, but I did get close! I shouldn't have had my mom's yummy cookies or that Red Velvet cake

I think I only gained 10 lbs this year, not too bad.....
