Isabella Leghorns are SUPER pretty!  I would love some of those too   But those only come in single comb... so nope, I SHALL RESIST!!!!





HATCH EGGIES HATCH! 

that's why I got the rosecombs split to isabel. That's what I want to make! Isabel rosecomb leghorns.

Ah, that was a lovely sauna... I feel like a new person.

It will be interesting to see how much the hemp distributor charges me for the hemp he was supposed to be marketing there. He had sent an over sized pallet of bedding, it had 33x 150 liter (40gal) bales on it. I kept pushing it on everyone and managed to get rid of all of it, made about 300 euros I think. We also managed to sell a lot of the Bainbridge Farm signs. By the way Jem, you should check them out, they have really cool signs and they're only about 20-30 miles from you (although the drive would be 50 miles since you have some water in between). Karin has ordered probably 70 signs from them already, if not more.

I also bought some locally grown spelt and oat to make porridge from. And over 3 lbs of honey. I almost bought some hatching eggs but decided not to right now, since we're a bit limited on space. I do however now know where I can get Silkie x Svarthöna mixes and 75% pure Araucana eggs from. So I might get some of those later in the summer, especially if I could convince the guy to put his pure Araucana rooster in with the Silkie x Svathönas, that might make for some mighty interesting birds.

Then when we were about to leave, the owner of the farm who had also been in charge of feeding everyone put 2 lbs of leftover shrimp in my hand, so we just ate a huge load of shrimp pasta and toast Skagen.

Hey Felix have you ever thought of signing up as a distributor.... or dealer in livestock products?
....

Just a thought.

Quote: True, but they're trying to act like some kind of authority on poultry genetics. It kinda ticked me off that they couldn't seem to tell the difference between self-blue and I think it was blue. I just remember it had something to do with self-blue. Lavender..... same thing.

I lost my train of thought again.

is it Isabel or Isabella??? And those are the ones where they are different shades of really light blue/lavender kinda, right?

There were some picture posts lately on the Facebook Leghorn page... pretty, pretty

So, HAVE THEY HATCHED YET?????


I have hatched a jillion times now.... and the suspense STILL kills me!

(and it would be BAD if you started breeding rose comb Isabel Leghorns... then I would want to buy from you... bad me, bad you

)

@Amberjem I'd bet your chick with the blue body and red wings with lacing is a cockerel, especially if that starts to darken.

[minihorse927]

Ah I thought it was a mix! Probably not a cockerel! Sorry! I'm an idiot sometimes
