Just a heads up about a poultry sale (swap) this Saturday April 11 at Tractor Suppy in Brighton. Its 8a till noon. The store is next to Hwy 85 at north end of town. I know there will be large fowl wyandotte chicks!

Good to know since I have some extras that I need to sell.

Thanks

Located in northern Colorado, and my family and I are searching for a couple Olive Easter Eggers to add to our flock! Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I do not know if they have any currently but Northern Colorado Feeders supply in Fort Collins gets in lots of birds of many different breeds. They may have some.

I am hatching some olive eggers this weekend. I should have four available, if they all hatch. They wont be easter eggers however. The will be a cochin cross. They should lay a nice green egg though.
pozees just south of Pueblo has been working with some oliv eggers also. You may check her also.

Ok so here we go, pull up a chair, get a cup of coffee, get comfy and get ready for some

At 8:30am to be exact I set 42 eggs for incubation! I am so e and nervous already.

Last night I got the pleasure of meeting @Percheron chick who has a beautiful spot just about 7-8 minutes away from us. I picked up 14 eggs from her flock for hatching (more on this later).

I spent an hour sorting eggs gathered from the past week, I went through and checked the most recent eggs for cracks, thin shells, etc. I was up until midnight making sure eveything was ready to go for launch this am.

Here is my final selection

Percheron chicks eggs

42 Eggs total

15 - EE x BO from our flock
13 - mix of brown egg layers x BO from our flock
12 - Ameraucana eggs from Percheron chick - Blue Wheaten Roo
2 - EE from Percheron chick - Blue Wheaten Roo X Cream Brabanters

So this am I loaded up the bator...

I was lucky enough to catch Little One (EE) and Safron (Wellie) right after lay, so I marked the eggs. I am hoping they hatch.

Now I will try to not to be a flippin nervous wreck! I am hoping everything goes well. What a great learning experience. I am so eggcited e

@Percheron chick thank you so much for providing me with some of our eggs. Should be fun!

I am back and forth on who to sell and who to keep. I love them all. I think I may sell the Buff laced polish. I really really like them but with so many big birds in my flock I mostly want them to be safe. OH I just don't know. I for sure am taking 2 Dark Brahma and some of the Partridge rock. Perhaps even the Iowa Blue since they were an impulse buy.
What on Earth was I thinking getting 23 new chickens. Oh yeah.... my egg customers. Bummer is that most of them went to other suppliers while my hens took the whole winter off. I only have 5 returning customers. I would be so very overrun with eggs if I kept all the babies.
If I do make it I will be in an old beat up pickup with an 8 foot long brooder box lol. Best way I can think of displaying what I have for sale. Going to be an adventure for sure.
