JJ, I can see the pictures. Can you see them today?


The second chick that hatched under Aimee was a mille, like the other one that is with Molly. Both are Mina's chicks but this one is much darker, like Aubrey always says is "normal", LOL. The porcelain chick is running all over the place, friendly as heck, curious, acts like a Delaware. Lordy, it must be a cockerel. I need a porcelain PULLET.

Quote:
I think he is a Buff Columbian with very light markings...but he could be a Ginger Red... the lighting at that angle wasn't very good.
She was with one rooster for a while that was more of the Buff C markings but the eggs were quitters so I switched her to Spike to see if the embryos would be stronger.

Welcom back Cetawan...great pictures!

Congrats on the hatch Cynthia....

for a porcelain pullet. Maybe it is a super friendly pullet.

Today they work. I like Mongo, looks kind of golden duckwingish.

good to see everybody back on, been missing yall.

I was gonna say ginger on both those birds, but could be the light and angle of the pic like you were saying.

Also never heard of pullorum going 5 years, it varys a lot state to state. but is supposed to be an anual test. they have to test a min of 300 birds. If you have less than 300 they have to test all of them, over 300, they test some from each pen til they hit 300.
and the AI yep is 30 birds, here once a year, but also varies state to state.
Also lots of testers do it their own way even if it's not quite to state law. Kinda silly to test 300 birds, if one has it, they all will within a week or so. Also here it's been like 30 years since a bird was ever found with it, so it's be like testing us for small pox or something, you just aint gone have it. But the law requires you to if you ship over state lines or take then to shows.
Personally, those are the good birds anyway, I'd rather see them have to tet all those mongerals at auctions every week.

Anyway good to see and hear from everyone. Just got in from hunting, need to do my rounds.

your experienced eyes are far better than mine on the color varieties...he must be ginger...and you think Miss Piggy is a Ginger with the marking on her feathers....if so that makes me a happy chicken momma.

In Va. They show up at auctions and AI test. I didn't realize it until I took some birds to an auction dropped them off. Three days later I got a paper from the state saying they were clean, a week and a half later I got my check from the auction. They even show up at county fairs and test up to 5 birds per entrant. But Va is a little paranoid because of all the broiler and egg houses.

JJ, they randomly stop by the local poultry swaps and do blood and swabs. They are relentless about tracking down people via license plates and etc etc. Doesn't bother me...irritates the birds but....

But they check them for leg fungus too! I hear there is an epidemic down that way.
