This is one busy thread!!!

I am anxiously awaiting the spring swap, as I was at one last year and wish I could have made it to more!
I was wondering...does anyone around here have any Lavender/Blue or porcelan d'Uccles? My daughter fell in LOVE with them, but sadly we lost our 2...she desperatey wants another one or 2(as does her mom, lol) I would love two girls, but would consider a girl and boy...preferably new-ish chicks as she wants to raise them to know her.

Thanks!

Congrats everyone on all the new babies!!! Is spring finally in the air

I know I for one am ready, some of the snow banks and getting smaller.

We are planning to cut way back on poultry this year, Sarah is getting some other interests, teenage thing I guess. Only keeping her favorite breeds. She is selling out of all her Hamburgs, both bantam and LF, most all her runners and she's got some nice ones, all the LF cochins, not sure about the call ducks yet and there will be several pigeons.

Hatching is going pretty well several hatched yesterday. Silkies and Buff Faverolles

Never gets old...

Yipeeeeee! What about the NN eggs? any developing yet? I usually had great developement with her eggs, I just had them not be able to break the membrane, humidity maybe, so keep an eye for that as they hatch. i thought the membrane was thicker than other eggs. So guess what hatched for me....feathered feet, but it has no cheeks, so cochin! Mottled or birchen I think. All my modern pure eggs candled clear so far. I think the roo may be too young?? But you would think if he knows what to do, he shouldnt be shooting blanks huh? I just put another half dozen eggs in the bator today, see what happens, and there are more in there so this should be one staggered hatch from HE%%.

Yes, she is still pretty much into critter's she has really taken to her snake right now. Keeping the moderns, silkies, d'anvers and cornish. and the LF RIR Yup, still have the little (well not so little now) girl for you, she is in a big cage in the living room with her sisters and loves popcorn

Oh yeah also keeping her faverolles almost forgot about them. Just not as many as each breed either.

How many buffs do you have so far? I have some blues, a couple blacks and splashes, and a surprise white. Dick thinks there's a slight chance I have a mottled too judging by the chick down. I sure hope so!

I've been cutting back too. Next year all I'll have are the Favs.

I got chicks from her, they were mostly BBS and partridge. I think she told me the pen but I've long forgotten what it was.

I believe there are 3 or 4 that are for sure buff, the other two not sure yet, they are from the buff's but are more young salmon colored will have to see what happens when they feather out a little bit.
