Umm, if I were to be specific, I would want a chicken that was very friendly and didn't eat too much (but the eating part is not much of an issue) and lay lots of eggs. Maybe barnevelder, sussex, or similar. I think silkies would be fun too.

Leghorn. Don't eat very much, lays like crazy. I have 4 of them, 2 brown, 1 silver and 1 white and all but the white is very friendly. The brown girls are all over me when I go visit them and the silver 1 is getting there. I don't know where she came from, but she was a nervous wreck when I got her. She's much better now and she's getting friendlier with me too. The brown ones squat every time I come close LOL So they get lots of cuddles.

Well all my birdies are now on FF!! and its all bubblin away!!! YAY!! and I am finding after this week they have some left over so I will start to reduce!! I will crack two eggs today to see if they are larger yet!! Trick was, keep it warm, UNCOVERED, and only enough feed for the daily rations, and now its easy!!! I am still trying to find a better way to drain the starter feed as it just holds the moisture and doesnt drain well.....

ITS AMAZING ITS WORKING ~ ps poo still does stink in the chicks brooder though....

Plus I am now ordering whole grains from the mill to add to feed....
I ordered wheat, oats and cracked corn to start... I forgot to ask about BOSS : (
Next time!!
 
Update on straggler:

I candled and tapped and didn't hear peep, but I saw movement, so I put back in bator and will wait. today is day 21 so I will try to have patience...of course this patience stuff is for the BIRDS!!!
