Welcome, I'm down the road a ways from you in Winfield!Busting in here to say Hello! Sedan, Chautauqua county.
That was a nice gift from your friend. I'll bet that Silver Penciled Wyandotte is going to be pretty when he's grown. I agree with Danz, it will be extremely hard to find pure Araucana eggs. It's easier to find Ameraucana eggs, but right now it may be harder to find those too. The Ameraucanas are notorious for not laying in cold weather, mine just usually stop until spring & both pens I have already have quit for the year. They will start up again when it's warmer.I received 27 chicks as a 56th birthday gift from my friend Tom. They are the brown egg layer assortment from McMurray. Extra chick is a Silver penciled Wyandotte (I think) rooster ( I know). I didn't really want Turkins but got two.
I was also given a Hova bator and would like to hatch some Auracana eggs if I could find some as a gift on Toms birthday.
The girls are 6 weeks and tough!
It was another busy day today, I had to run to Wichita for a Dr. appt this afternoon & then after that stop at Lowe's & buy groceries, so I didn't get home till about 7:45. I finished feeding the rabbits when I got home & the GPs & then went in to see my new kitty. She was really sick of being in that crate tonight, so when I let her out she ran off into the garage & kept running away from me, so she is now loose in the garage & she was having none of me calling her to come this time. She's been really good till now about it, but I've been so busy the last few days I haven't had much time to spend with her & she was mad at me for it. I'm going to have to catch her somehow because we're going to work on hauling off the stuff to Goodwill tomorrow that is in the garage & I really didn't want her outside yet. Maybe she will come to me in the morning after she has had a night of freedom, we'll see I guess. I got the two extension cords I needed to finish hooking up my heated waterers this evening & went out in the dark after I got back to hook them up. I wanted to get the water in those two pens thawed out at least.
That is funny HEChicken about not noticing how big your birds were getting. I kind of had something similar happen to me only it was just me looking at the bird & not anyone else. I just noticed the other day how big my little Cream Legbar pullet with the beard had gotten. I decided after noticing that it was time for her to join the main flock.
