Pictures of the new chicks. They are Barred Olive Eggers so should have black and white barring and lay a dark olive colored egg. Aome of the eggs hatched are dk green others are lighter green with darker speckles. Should be a nice contrast against my BCM eggs.

I am by Pueblo, Colorado. I just got my first chickens and ducks and a goose this week. I look forward to reading more on this forum and I am so glad there are so many people from Colorado here!

Welcome to BYC!!! And yeah, so far, this thread has been busy with new people checking in and others who have been here a while sharing and connecting-- all great stuff. How old are your birds? Mine are a month old and are wonderful. They're well-behaved (is that possible for a chicken?) and they're growing really well. Can't wait to take them out to the garden this weekend to stretch their wings and legs.​

Wow pogo you jumped in head first

Most of us start with chicks and "work" or "ease" our hubbys/wives into the water fowl part of the addiction. I'm impressed

Does anyone near the Springs have Cayuga ducks? I am seriously considering getting a pair (I may be crazy) but I would like to check them out first, and I would prefer to get them from a local either way. Help?

I have Welsh Harlequins if you can't find Cayugas. I have a hen on a nest right now. Melissa gets first choice if we have a successful hatch, but if she hatches half those eggs she stole, I will have plenty left over

I have Cayugas due to hatch May 2 and May 13. They're from good show lines. I'm way up north in Boulder County, but I could easily meet you in the south Denver metro area if you ever get up that way. Here's a couple of pics of the parent flocks.

Ha! Trying to get a good photo of black ducks at sundown doesn't alway work out too well.
