Congratulations! I drove to Santa Rosa today and picked up a Bresse trio!!! And it was my husband who wanted me to buy them! You never know!!!

Good for your Husband!

His idea is that I will get rid of the rest of my flock and only raise Bresse. After 33 years, I don't think that he knows me so well!

They are very nice looking eggs! Not too big and not too small either.

I am going to start hatching some for Kim soon and I bet there will be some extras.

I thought of you!

I took a couple of hours off from work and had to get back to feed the family.

I think they were from Santa Rosa. Chiqita was working in Novato and she picked her up for me last Friday.

cute what breeds

They are from my BLRW's. The yellow one is like nothing I've seen before. The splash in my first hatch was gray when she hatched, nothing like Lucky.

Thinking about doing a candleing booth for a field day in March.

Since I'm worming my girls and they all lay brown eggs anyway, I was thinking of getting TJ eggs to put in the incubator.
How easy are they to candle? Does anyone have estimates on fertility, trying to figure out how many I would need to pick up.

Is she a big girl? I would watch her, she is an hybrid--thy have problems with their egg laying parts sometimes--start too early with too big of eggs.

She will get the hang of the nest, but she will probably do better with roosting if you use a 2x4 with the wide part up.

So many hens have been in that coop. It was built by my grandpa. I don't think it's the roost; I've seen her play on it, but not sleep. She has also layed in the nesting box, but today she didn't .
