One of my pullets that was a cross of an Crele Penedesenc x Amelia hens(crele penedesenca x Cream Legbar) laid an egg today. It is the best Olive color yet! The egg on the left is a Partridge Pene pullet egg. the egg on the right is 54G and a first pullet egg!

Nice

Here are pic of my new birds:

a buff laced red bantam cornish

Her tail's pretty busted up but it'll molt back in eventually.

and here's a cuckoo bantam d'anvers

so soft & quite chatty

and my new cuddle-bug, Jean-Luc, a french black copper marans roo (thank you again @KernH )





his coloring is so gorgeous & those amazing saddle & hackle feathers - I'm so in love with him

His crow is as shown but he still has is bass-voiced clucks. Awesome...

Beautiul birds! Of course I am partial to the d'Anvers having a bunch of them. What a cutie your cuckoo girl is! Love my dun cuckoo hen. She has so much personality!

I'll say! I have both my incubators full and lots of people wanting chicks! Everyone is getting spring fever early! This time of year is so much fun!!

I am trying so hard not to break out my incubator! It's a good thing I got the tiny Brinsea or I would drown myself in a sea of chicks.

So excited! I got a couple of local gals in on the Urch order and it is going to happen. I am sending it off tomorrow and will be getting 9 mottled houdan for myself as well as buckeyes dark brahma and silver penciled Wys for the other two people.

I eventually hope to work with the Houdan. I am enchanted by what I have read about them and I think they will make a good addition to my flock in the interim while I get situated to focus on them.

They will be here in April and I just believe I will have a broody mama to take them at that time. No evidence that such a belief is warrented, I just think it is. Last year I wanted to participate in the Easter HAL so I signed up for it and I prepped the coops for broodies in hopes I would have one and then I got two. Then except for a hiatus in early fall I have had at least one hen either sitting on or brooding chicks ever since. Right now I have 3 mamas raising chicks and one setter who is getting a few feed store bantams on Friday Night.

I love chick season!
