I think someone here already said this, but breeding black to pied makes magpie. So far I have neither. Yea I am playing with the genetic calculator  again.

Lol. That was me because I have both. My blacks are new babies so it won't be til next year but magpies it will be :) That's if at least 1 of the 3 blacks are female because my pied is male, or if Lily turns out to be female because she's a pied too lol. Lily's feathers are starting to come in so it shouldn't be too much longer for her. She's staying nice and small too :)

I have a black hen. Do you want to "borrow" her in the spring time? I'd totally go for that, you take some eggs, I take some eggs....lol
 
I have been wondering. I understand that when a chick dips in the shell, it is getting ready to hatch. But what is "dipping"., actually? Is the size of the growing chick causing pressure to the the air cell, causing the air cell to expand over a larger surface? Sorry about the silly question. I would like to understand it better.

Ahh... you are so close Peach! Are you going crazy? I found the waiting easier if I work on little projects inside or out keeps me more occupied and not checking every 5 minutes for changes.

Wishing you and your chicks well.

Yes In very anxious!!! Luckily I just got 2 pairs of calls yesterday and I have all my Ancona ducklings to take care of and keep me busy. I've been moving animals around. Moved the ducklings out with the adult ducks, moved my bob whites into the pen the ducklings were in....now I have the brooder free for the call ducklings to hatch! I really hope that at least 2 hatch, cause otherwise I'm going to have to find a duckling friend for the one since I don't have anymore eggs incubating :/

Hey question everyone. I have the opportunity to buy show quality grey pair for $40. I know they are one of the main colors, is it a wise idea to have them in my flock? For color variation I mean. I have a pair of snowys, a blue fawn drake, and a black hen.
