So I did it again, I managed to hatch out a single chick, anyone have some young chicks they are willing to part with? I'm looking for something near fresno or sanger (if you know where that is).

Sorry, I'm not near Fresno, more in the Northern part of CA.

You know, we're going to have to have a 'talk' about where N. California is...

Waving Hi from Oroville to all you folks on this thread in CENTRAL California... LOL!! Having grown up forty miles from the Oregon border, I guess I'm a little picky. *snicker* Of course, when I lived THERE, S. Cal started at Sac...!

Anyone else up above Sacramento who has: Serama hens, Bantam Orpington hens (SMALL blue or splash), Belgian d'Anvers (a really well socialized people oriented pair for choice), or colorful roos they would like to wave bye-bye to? (I feather craft.)

Just up the hill from you in Paradise. LF Polish and EE's.

I'm in Berry Creek! On the ridge over. I have Olive Eggers.. Do you guys have fertile eggs?! lol

I have EE's and the Polish eggs will be ready for hatching in a couple of weeks. I had a Polish/Silkie Roo in with them until a couple of weeks ago so I don't want to sell any eggs until I know he's not in the mix. PM me for pricing since we're not supposed to talk money on the forum.

I need your opinions, but I'm a little hesitant to go on the Ameraucana thread.

I've got a breeding pen opened up, because I'm taking my best Sliver Laced Wyandotte pair to the Fresno show. So I booted out all of the rest of the Silver Laces, since I have the pair in other cages to get them ready.

I put my Blue Ameraucana cockerel in the pen with the Black split to Blue pullet. But I also have two black split to Lavender pullets, and no roo to go with them. Should I put them in that pen too, or will it screw up the Blue genetics?

Did you get an answer to your question? I don't know much about genetics but thought that I would give your post a bump so someone who does know would see it.

I did go and post on the Ameraucana thread. Someone there thought it wouldn't be too big of a deal for what I plan to do with them, so they're all together.

Thank you!

Hi there,
I, too, feather craft & find myself sometimes keeping a bird just for the feathers I will yield from him. I have a few EEs that I have kept out free ranging til I get around to them. Everyone comments on their beautiful colors. I have friends that keep a look out for nicely colored feathers for me too. CowgirlJules brought me Silver Laced feathers she dry plucked before she processed her bird & Cheryl sent me a Jubilee Orpington Rooster just for his feathers. I dry plucked him too. The first feathers I collected I kept after I had dipped my chickens for processing then washed them in Palmolive & drained them on paper towels but they were alot of work to make them nice for crafting.
Are you going to the Fresno show? I could take an EE for you.
