I bought Nathan's last eggs and they arrived in great condition, were very clean and packed well. I'm sure they will find a great home. Someone should grab them up while you have the chance. Very nice stock

Cyn, I just love your new pics of the babies. Wow, they just grow so fast dont they!?

So far so good. Haven't been down to the coop yet, but it's still there. Got really scary for a while. Driving home was worse than in an ice storm; I've never seen so many roads turned to rivers before, and I've lived in this area for 25 years. DD hid in the basement when she heard the sound of a frieght train. Luckily it was hard HARD rain mixed with hail, and not the winds. DH says the worst is past now. Time to check on Mom and see if she's okay in N GA.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, ya'll. I know a lot of folks in my area were not as fortunate.

Okay you guys is it possible to get a porcelain colored chick out of a mille fleur pair? I do not know the parents genetics/history as I recently purchased them two months ago. I am sure this chick is porcelain colored, its identical to any pics I can pull up... So I take it somewhere in one of the parents there is porcelian?? or can they be split? lol sorry I don't know a thing about genetics.

Well, I could send a Lavender with him, or a Mottled, but no Porcelains- keeping all of those girls!

I do still have BBS Orps, but I'm considering selling my flock to a local couple. It's sooooo many mouths to feed when working on so many heavy fowl projects...and the feed costs keep jumping outrageously. Yuck!

Both parents would have to be split to the Lavender gene, and it's certainly possible. They'll throw 50% Porcelain in that case.

How long did you have the birds before you set the eggs?
Could this chick be a 'leftover' from the rooster at the former home?

You all take care. It was horrible here last night. I souls nor sleep worrying about my birds and horse.

Cyn called a bit ago and it it them hard a few hours ago and she is without power. The chicks' heat lamp and her bator are running on a generator right now. So safe everyone .

Man I hope everybody is alright. We had some really rough winds and storms here today in Eastern Kentucky and I had to take my daughter for surgery. It was terrible driving.

Stay safe!
