Thank you again I'm signing off, too tired; extracted honey all day today see you tomorrow folks!

Here is what is left of my D'anvers. We had a predator attack a couple moths ago =(. I'm hoping the girls start lay soon! What can I make with them? and if anyone has eggs PM me.


BBR and Buff Colombian ???? roos



Millie and Buff Colombian Hen


Porcelain Roo

both the first 2 are bb red males. The one on the left just has an incomplete color on his breats. I get some like that from time to time in all my breeds.

as far as what you can make

all sorts of stuff even with just those few

the porcelain to the mille will make more milles for you.
Take one of the new mille girls back to the porcelian and you will then get more porcelain


porcelain to the buff col hen will give you more columbian that carry lavender

breed those new chicks back and you will get buff columbian, milles, porcelain and lavender buff columbian



bb red to the mille girl make all buff columbian

so you have severla ways you can go. You will just need to mark the chicks so later you will know who the parents were. That way you'll know who is carrying lavender and or mottled in them for later projects the following year

That is Aubrey's work. I just feed him.

haha thanks JJ

Yes after you posted the full pic of just him, I have to say he's finished. He's a single factor is all, but they have brighter color that way anyway, aside from that, he's no longer a project he's a finished crele FINALLY!!! Just you have him and not me haha, which is fine, glad you do. They just started laying again this week anyway. My bb's aint though and they are the ones I really need.

But the chicks off him and that group of hens should be awesome next year.

It's one of my favorite colors too your ol lady has good taste !!
I'm working on it in all my breeds. got a good start on in in the phoenix and ohiki too, even have the silver crele in the phoenix already.

good luck with them

OH and if you got some of Gregs quail, I can just imagen they are good ones. My duns were made off his original quail line before he sold out the first time. Havent seen any of his new ones yet, but I'm sure they are just as good

By the way, Aubrey, I think my Aimee is part Silkie rather than all D'Anver. She tried to go broody on me for the 3rd time this year. Yes, the THIRD time! I told her no way, little missy, and kept dumping her cute little behind on the floor. Molly the Phoenix is broody for the second time this year, has been for about 37 days now, and finally has two eggs I think I'm going to have to let her keep or she may never break up. I think her sitting so long finally was beginning to convince Miss Aimee that it might be a good idea to have babies again.

haha yep she's got to be a silkie then, they never do that here, some once, maybe twice, but most hardly ever. Though I dont leave eggs for them either. But man when one does they can got for a while, they just cant figure out why their hay isnt hatching I think...hahaha

Let me know if you want to split an order with me from Boggy Bottoms Bantams.

you know you are always welcome here, so if the two of you want to split an order this spring, I'll be more than happy to get you some up.
I start taking egg and chick orders in Feb each year, so yall just put your heads together and figure out what you both want and let me know.
Do it early though even if you dont want them til later in the spring...I book up so quick that it doesnt take long for you to be 3 months out on them. I try to bump friends up in the order when I can though

I got just a few hens laying but I am not hatching any more till spring, Out of room and need to grow out my last batches to decide what I am going to do. Got a silver quail roo coming from Keith Yates next week to go with my silver quail.
I bought a pair of sebrights to start on the silver laced next year too. But I got to build some pens and brooders this winter (I was told no more chickens in the house ) first before I can gear up.

Hey everyone! It's been a really long time since I was last here. Man life really knows how to take you for a ride! I've been in and out of doctor appointments and everything trying to get to the point that I could get into a specialist for my heart condition and it's finally happened after waiting and going to serveral doctors I have a date for my procedure! July... But still, its progress!

I'll have some pictures later today of my D'anvers that are now 4-5 months old now. They are all very beautiful and I love them. Even the two extra Millie roo's

.

Also looking for anyone that can ship live chicks or adults to VA in the spring (Or whenever its possible). I need some Millie and Porcelain hens / pullets. (Good luck... I know it...

).

Hope everyone is doing well. I tried to scan the posts but dang it ya'll are a chatty bunch! Great pics!

Pics of my own coming soon... Waiting for day light!

Ay yai...sorry to hear that Do.  Glad your Columbians are safe though. 

Kristen! I only have a pair of blue silver quail but the roo has lot of rust and the comb look kind of flat too. He's still young, hopefully the comb will get better. If not, I'll get the blue silver pullet with one of my silver roo to make more blue silver quail in the spring. Do you want the F1 columbian eggs or day old chicks in the spring?

Thinking about starting a line of red Ameraucas , would that be a BBR d'anver roo x buff am. Would I keep the roo offspring or hen to breed back?
