Hi Jordan,
I'm honestly not hoping for a specific color chick from your egg - just that a nice, healthy chick emerges! Re: your little white cochin, yep, that's what I was getting at.
As soon as I sent the last post, I tracked down your "nest box" post & saw that it was the same one I noticed on Craig's List. So you're obviously a Craig's List addict too!! The email I got in response to my inquiry was a little "stiff," is the best way to put it, so I didn't follow up again. Were they selling anything other than nest boxes? I asked if they had any other chicken-related items available, given that the huge number of nest boxes seemed to signal that they were getting out of the chicken business, but got no response to that inquiry. Anyway, looks like you got a great deal! Congrats!
By the way, your Amerecauna Splash is really ruling the roost here. I moved my roosters all to a new "rooster pen" in the pasture, but he has managed to get out & get back into our yard, where everyone else is, for the past three days. I think I finally figured out his exit route, so with any luck this will be the last day. I have a black giant Cochin that I let roam free - she's probably my most pet like of all my chickens - and I've been worried about her because of some of the more aggressive boys (like your guy) so that's why I finally decided to move all the roos to one spot. She's been cowering in her pen instead of jumping on top of our porch & hanging, like she always used to. When I want to breed down the road, I have lots of tractors set up for that purpose.
Sorry for the novel.
Laura
