d'anver lovers,discuss the breed and post some pics!

Chickee, what color(s) did you get? Congrats on getting your eggs!

Aubrey, I'm really excited! Not that anyone can tell...

Aubrey sent me some Buff Columbian, Dun Cuckoo, Porcelain and Dun Quail eggs

Boy am I going to have a bunch of cute colored chicks!

When are you getting some?

Chickee, those are going to be gorgeous babies! Dun quail and buff colombian are pretty, and the dun cuckoo, nice! I'd love to see those dun cuckoo when they feather out, how fascinating!

My fave colors are the Gold Necks and Mille Fleurs. There's just something mindblowingly gorgeous about a glowing caramel colored bird accented with sparkling white, or white & black accents. I hope to get some in the post soon!

You know, even with all these spectacular color options, the neatest thing for me is finding a friendly, sweet breed. I've already envisioned briefly sneaking my future D'anvers pullet into the house

on occasion for tea 'n mealworm parties.

warmheart, my favorite is the goldneck thjats why i have these silly birds. they are no doubt the sweetest, ok the roos can be bad, so far i only have 1 that has shown that attitude.

As for Aubrey he is awesome and really good at answering, JJ is right there with him too. they seem to be the nicest of guys willing to share and help.

I must get pics this weekend of my recent hatch. I have very odd down color chicks. Goldnecks with the dark stripes porcelain looking but darker and differnt millies.

I love the Mille Fleurs also! and any bird that has blue, so I still have lots of colors on my want list.

My porcelain pullet "Star" (in my Avatar) follows me everywhere and if I had more time she would be with me more often. I love to sit out in the grass and watch her roam about tasting her favorite weeds. My porcelain rooster is a real sweet guy too. Very calm and non aggressive.

Hope you get your eggs soon

Hey, Aubrey and JJ, my Penny hasn't laid an egg in maybe five or six months. I'm beginning to worry about her. Is it unusual for them to quit for this long? I expected her to be back to business by now. She even seems a bit lethargic to me at times, not her perky self. Think she's just taking her time?

I am not sure, I have a whole pen of millies that haven't laid since before Christmas until the last two weeks I get 1 or 2 eggs a week. I think maybe they are all different in how long of a break they take.

Thanks, Kris I try to answer the questions I know, and try hard not to answer the ones I don't.

I got 2 goldnecks hatched tonight and two more pipped.

I have only a couple of clean ones, the others have some black on them so will be interesting how they feather out in the end.
