My campines (golden & silver) are some of my favorite birds. They are considered "flighty", but they are the first to rush up when I approach with treats. They will jump up onto the roosts in the pens to be close and eat from my fingers. They lay nearly every day, a large white/very lightly tinted egg. They are good flyers and very alert, which should make them good free rangers, able to avoid danger. And I think they are eye candy.
yes quite flighty. More so than most breeds but are wonderl in the valley heat. They are not aggressive though just prefer to stay away from people
well no garage at all actually.Wow JasonWhere do you keep all of your chicks? Wish I had a garage for brooders. I am running out of space. Tell my head that though . . I just started 12 very rare colors (porcelain, buff Columbian, Dun Quail, Dun Cuckoo) of d'Anver eggs from Boggy Bottom Bantams and 8 pure W/BW Ameraucana eggs from my own birds. I am getting some awesome chicks out of my BW rooster. Much nicer than what I was getting out of his wheaten father. That is because my BW is a cross of Paul Smith and Pips&Peeps lines and I am breeding back to Paul Smith hens. Out crossing of the two lines didn't work well.
My 2 pure wheaten Ameraucana eggs hatched and 4 Golden Cuckoo Marans so far. It has been a stressful hatch with them hatching today on day 22 because of the power outage and with hatching problems from damaged air cells from shipping. They are pipping low and one pipped in the small end of the egg. I had to help that one out. Looks like two of each sex so far. They are adorable and I will post pictures when they fluff up.

Deb your birds are beautiful...I am happy to know you have them cuz now I know where I might be able to get some
Congratulations! That is great NewsOur first baby just hatched!!
(I'm really restraining myself from using all caps here, guys. Hope you appreciate that
). There are 10 other pips!! None of the store bought eggs have pipped, I wonder if they'll take longer. I have to admit this whole process has reminded me a little of being pregnant and giving birth, but without the physical discomfort. The two eggs next to the one that hatched are the most active, which makes me wonder if there's a hot spot or something. They have been moved around during their incubation, though, so not sure.The sweetest chick I have ever seen I'm feeling a little worried about the one next to it. It has that big piece chipped away and I can see it moving, but it has that off colored spot on the membrane. How normal is that? Anyway, I'm unspeakably excited and in love. I'm uploading videos to YouTube so I can post them, although the commentary is probably shrill.
Eye Candy for sure....Beautiful DebMy campines (golden & silver) are some of my favorite birds. They are considered "flighty", but they are the first to rush up when I approach with treats.

My Broody hatch two chicks yesterday. I moved her from the big coop to her own little condo...
She let me pick her up and move her with not trouble at all. She is such a good girl..
I took the rest of her eggs and put them in the incubator. They look like they need a few more days.
I think I might slip her a few extra chicks...
I have two blue English Orpington's And my chocolate Orpington broody .... My chocolate Orpington is sitting on ONE egg. I didn't know she only had one egg until it was to late. She will be getting extra chicks for sure. ...
