Does anyone have pictures of buff mottled D'uccles and Golden Neck ones? I have a pair of what I think is one or the other and can't find any good pics of them on the net?

Yall please just don't argue...I just looked at how they run the auctions here....and even tho I thought Krista that you won...I could be wrong...I think it the winning bid would be Pheonix....

Oh, I hope I have as good a hatch rate as you! I had an excellent hatch rate with atlchick's EE eggs, and with little_grey_bantam's eggs too. Fantastic shipping. I liked the way moneyingaroundfarms packaged his eggs too, and I am so excited to put them in the bator tomorrow. Of your blues that you set from him, did you get any Blue Coppers? He mentioned that I could get that color, so I looked it up on Bev Davis' website and WOW! They are beautiful! Blue Marans are just one of the colors of Marans that I've been wanting to get. I'm excited about this hatch, I just love Marans.
Yes, I did get at least two Blue Coppers, maybe more, but there is one with quite a bit of copper and it is absolutely spectacular. All of them are beautiful and I think all of them are booted, too.
I also hatched two batches of eggs from ILOVEFRIZZLES of BCM and Blue/Splash Marans and all but a few hatched from both shipments combined. I just hatched silkies and cochins from her, too, and all but one egg hatched of those. She has beautiful birds, too, and my marans chicks (splash, blue and bcm), silkie and cochin chicks are gorgeous, too.
Oh that is encouraging! Good to hear! And I think I'll have to try ILOVEFRIZZLES eggs once I have some more money. I like to go with someone who I can trust to ship good eggs and that does good business. I highly recommend atlchick and little_grey_bantam too as they pack quite well, and their chicks are VERY healthy and hardy. from bantam I got a lovely pair of Lakenvelder chicks, 2 BCM cockerels (hence the reason I needed to get more eggs!), 2 Cuckoo Marans pullets, some of the sweetest little Speckled Sussex chicks on Earth, and I do believe the rest are mixes. With atlchick, of the 8 that survived, I have for sure 2 roos, and I do believe the rest are pullets. They are some of the most beautiful EE's I've EVER seen! I got a barred roo and a roo that just takes my breath away, he's so gorgeous. He looks like a hawk with shades of gray and brown, and gorgeous muffs. I am VERY happy with her birds. Plus they hatched from blue, green, and tan eggs, so that means I'll get some blue eggers when they grow up. Yay! I'm on my way to having a rainbow basket when I go out to collect eggs!
I agree with klf73. If the last bid had to come in and be time stamped 10:53 or before. 10:54 is too late. Since we have no second counter, then 10:53 is the finish line. And, I believe, if we had been running in the actual auction that is how the system cuts it off too. I have missed auctions by not getting the last bid in before the number rolled over!
