I went with the blue x blue because I knew I would get a greater color selection on my hatch.
And, boy, did I ever... blues, blacks, whites (splash?), white crested blues, and white crested blacks all in the same hatch. Now to see if anything develops into something worthwhile for showing/breeding.
Polish do fine up here. You just have to be careful in the winter that they don't end up with icicle covered crests. Some folks actually give their top hats trims at the beginning of winter.
I also had a nice rainbow hatch out of some Ameraucana eggs (blacks, blues, whites (splash?), and a couple odd balls). The hens were covered by an Araucana roo and some of these babies look like they have side whiskers rather than muffs and they look like they could be tailless. Keeping my fingers crossed. Now, if Holly would just send some Araucanas my way...
Sorry, Holly, I don't know when I'll be in town again but my friend will be coming up that way on Thursday to deliver milk. I really want some self blue D'Uccles...
Trims huh? Now that's an idea... I will have to remember it next winter. I got my
Brinsea from Randall Burkley and it was the best shipping quote anywhere I looked.
