I personally prefer duck eggs for eating but I refuse to keep them.

Hello Everyone,
I'm popping in from the NY Thread to see if anyone would be interested in a Silkie Roo? He hatched December 25th and I had plans to bring a trio of silkies to someone in Albany until I realized today he was a roo. This person does not have room for another roo and to be be hinest neither do I. He is free and I will be traveling from Syracuse to my home state CT this week on Thursday to visit family over the weekend. If anyone is interested I would be more than willing to bring him to you or meet half way depending on how far you are from my hometown of Southington.

**Also, if anyone here has a silkie hen for sale (any color other than white) I'd be interested. I'm down to a lavender split blue roo and white hen.

Hi!  I have some Easter Eggers, Black Copper Maran, Sicilian Buttercup, and an Olive Egger that I think might really be an Ameraucana...she just started laying light minty-blue.  I also hatched two Barnevelder that are about 12 weeks old.  I still am not 100% sure of the sex...I'm thinking roo, and may have to re-home them, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed, as I hear that they can be tough to sex correctly until they are about 17 weeks.  I also have two Columbian Wyandotte and a Golden Campine on order...hopefully for this week.  And (yes, I'm not obsessed!), I will try hatching Cream Legbar in a few weeks.

I'm near the Stevenson Dam...how about you?

I'm in Sandy Hook too, we've got chicks due to arrive from MyPetChicken around May 15ish so I'll be busy this month getting ready for them. I ordered:
2 females ea of Australorp, Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red & Dominique

Ooh, that would be cool. Dark green eggs are one color I don't have yet. My Sicilian Buttercups just laid her first...beautiful cream color.

Sicilian Buttercups are so pretty.

I thought they weren't really cold weather birds though. Do you have any experience with this breed in winter?

My easter egger./ ameracauna's lay dark army green eggs... really pretty next to the dark reddish marans. I gave them out as christmas gifts this year.... made for a very festive combination.

Think you're the closest to me besides the Bristol member, so far.

We are super close! Just the other side of farmington!

I'm over near Bristol side of Farmington.

Mine survived the winter, fine. I think that the only problem could be frostbite with their combs. I don't use heat lamps or anything...just heat their water. They all huddled together and did well, even with that crazy storm that went 3/4 of the way up their coop!
