Quote: I got the creles in an egg swap, in two batches. I hatched the first 5 a couple of months ago, so they are growing nicely. I hatched the rest of the swap yesterday, so I have a total of 13 of them now.

My SL polish originally came from Dick Horstman. I don't have eggs available from them right now because they are sharing a pen with my Olandsk Dwarfs. When I'm able to move birds around, I can set them back up into a breeding pen.

Deb did you check on the CCLs? I got some chicks yesterday but still would like some older ones they're so pretty!

I have one more pen of juveniles I need to sort through. Absolutely I have cockerels, no problem. And for sure I have whites in both sexes. I haven't spotted extra cream girls yet, but I'm sure they're in there. It's a grow-out pen with probably 50+ birds in it, that represents about 20 birds. It looks like a Time Square crowd scene with everyone milling about with countless colors.

I ended up with an appt. here in a few minutes, so it will probably be tomorrow before I can sort through that last pen. Many of them are ready to move up to the big bird pens.

home again, and have gotten my Rcom set up for incubating -- took a photo of the isbar eggs first in their carton, so here they are:


the eggs are a bit on the small side, but a really lovely range of mossy green, minty green, and a light turquoise.

and Maggie the survivor-of-the-bobcat basque is still alive, standing and walking around verrrrrry sllllloowwwwwly -- and seems to be breathing through her mouth, in quiet not-quite-gasps-or-gulps, but not normal. not sure what might be causing that. still not sure she will make it, but alive 48 hours later is an accomplishment.

beautiful eggs. I am now officially excited.

I hope maggie gets better!! Was she breathing weird yesterday? Maybe she hurt her wind pipe in the attack.

and mixed news after a visit to the coop -- the marans eggs have started hatching (hooray!), but Maggie the basque has died. poor girl.

Sorry to hear about Maggie. Poor girl.

Yes! I bet Pet Rock or Juststruttin have nicely calibrated thermometers.

No, I have not calibrated mine. I know... I am a bad monkey.
