That's weird except my Bev birds always come through and put most of themselves into the chicks. Was it from a dark egg?

Oh oh oh.....My pink laying EE is part Fav and sometimes you get them from those.

Diamond Wire Farms I didn't hatch this one out. I get it from someone who hatched out some Wade Jean eggs. My Davis birds have so far never hatched out an odd chick, but now that I've said that..............knock on wood I guess. LOL

Out of the chicks I have kept so far I think I have 2 cockerels and 3 pullets. I'd like to get a few more pullets and another roo. I love how huge those roos get.

I lost a BBS/black AM chick. Bummed on that. Lots of babies are moving outside. Everyone is feathered out and out growing the brooders, so it's the growout pen for them. They love it. I have a dog house in the run and they're testing their aeral skills. Looks like an elevated runway.

I have enough chicks to sell again for more feed. yippie!!! LOL I've sold a lot of these mixes and I got a lot of compliments on them from some breeders who go to the auction every week, so that was nice.

Working on a new roo pen and then a larger one for my black Blehm AM. I'm going to be putting 2 BCMs, The EE's and Olive Eggers in with him for a while. I've had BCM roos over them, but I want more green eggs and my EE lays pick. More pink would be cool too though. I've been looking at one Olive Egger and trying to remember what she was mixed with and then DUH a Wellie walked past her. Oh yeah. Now I remember.

So more pens a couple of coops and I'm tearing a big cage apart for rabbit hutches for my Lionheads. Hope I live through all of this.

Ooo pink eggs I'm looking for pink eggs have any to sell?

YES my son has a huge brooder full of young ducklings only a week old. let me know if we can help.

Would you like to sell one for a buddy?

No, prob not, he ordered these exhibition quality runners from Holderreads over a year ago, LOL, if youre looking for a buddy, maybe a feed store will be the best bet. Oakdale Feed got their order in yesterday and Oakdale TSC usually gets theirs on a Thurs.
If yours are only 2 weeks old, maybe you could partition one of them off with the new one for a bit?
Good luck!

Good idea the pen I have the little runners in is pretty big I could introduce him that way I think he'll catch up quick, mallards being a fair amount larger that works. Thanks. What color runners? I love my funny whites.

Hello All,

Thanks for the warm welcome, help and advice. I just wanted to let you know that there is another new thread for some of us: Sierra Mountains-Gold Country-Foothills

Yay! The more help and connections the better. I must admit though, I travel to the Central Valley more often than to neighboring foothill communities for doctor appointments, shopping malls, etc. so I will definately stay on this thread

Oh my goodness sooo cute!!!! How do you post pics on this site?

I think you have to have a certain number of posts first, to prevent spammers, look on the FAQs page to see how many. Its pretty easy, you upload your pics to this site, then copy and paste the HTML code into your post and when it posts, the pic appears. Voila!
