What breeds?

They are designer chickens. My roos are a white silkie and a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana. I have a wheaten ameraucana hen, RIR's, BSL's, a turken (which I am her offspring in my brooder and can we just say she is "special"?) EE's, BR's, all different kinds of hens in my coop.

My last hatch I hatched out a yellow chick with black spots. And she is almost 4 weeks old and still speckled. I can't wait to see her fully feathered.

Sounds pretty.

This is real exciting for me. I've hatched before but never been involved in a BYC hatch before. Woo-hoo! Can't wait to get started.

You SOOO totally have time for another hatch before that. Yes I am enabler, learn chicken math. It is helpful!

I'M ready, but I'm not READY... I need to make space for them first. Have to contend with Winter here in Maine. Not practical to hatch any now

Clearly I need to coach you on the hatcher addicts way to get birds through cold spells.

What I'll Be Trying To Hatch

-Twelve blue ameraucana
-Six BLRW
-Hopefully six or twelve icelandics from Mary (the warden) if she has any... if not then assorted marans

Sound good?

 

[debilorrah]

Sounds good to me!!!

LOL..

No doubt.. I have 16 chickens in my bedroom currently.. (11 4 week olds, and 4 seramas) But I have 2500 sq feet more that I can fill up.. That is if I wanted to be single.. My DW would have me committed. I'm giving the babies one more week before I send em outside.

Of course I'm in Louisiana, and strangly enough we are expecting low 20's overnights.. (that's like the worlds coming to an end for us)

After the 'bator gets shipped I will be hatching as many SLW eggs as my hens lay.

Hope I get it on time to join ya'll!
