grannys gone and done it

Camping, that solid black chick is beautiful? If it is a hen are you going to keep her? Is she related to your rooster? How much are you asking for her?

Daughter of my rooster and hen, but I have an unrelated set of chicks with plenty of cockerels. I do think it's the prettiest of all I've hatched so far. I've been listing them for $99, and eggs for $25 each. That's what the breeder suggested. I haven't made any sales yet, but I'm going to stick to it. I've got room and they hardly eat anything. If I wind up with a backyard of gorgeous black birds, so be it.

The breeder eats her culls, so I'm getting myself ready for that. These three are the hatch mates for the black one.

Is your rooster a nice black? If he is you should breed her to him to lock in the blackness gene.

He's acceptable, but could be better. He has a mulberry comb/wattles. Some of the unrelated cockerels are looking a little darker, but I won't know for sure til their juvie molt.

That's my pair. Hen is very black.

York, I dont like the amish. they are not as they seem.

My sister has the same opinion. Company she works for makes woodworking machinery, patented ideas. No one has machines like these. Amish bought one, reverse engineered it, and started producing and selling their own version. They would not stop until threatened with patent infringement lawsuit. And they knew exactly what they were doing.

Trying to sell this baby. I think it's the best one yet.

So inky!!

You rock it girl !!!

First post on the new caption contest IMO has it wrapped up already.

Thanks, granny. I gave the gf away already. Keep thinking about the new contest. There are other avenues to explore.

I can do this all day..

How did the farmer find his wife ?
He tractor down.

You should put this in the HAL joke thread.

A dove is nesting on our front porch! Yaaaaaaa!
I am hatching something!

We are feeding the pair in the back yard, they are not at all tame.

We have some here that look similar. The male sounds like a kazoo! Oddest call ever. Eurasian collared doves is what we have.

I was thinking the same thing. Keep that price real high, camping. You will have a good candidate for line breeding if she doesn't sell.

Since your hen is so nice, if one of the young covkerels is really nice, you should pair her up with him.

Enola!! You will have dove chicks for Easter!!! How very cool.

Camping, I think all your babies are cute... But chocolate... My heart flutters.

Twisted... Don't eat do late and see if that helps the dreams or talk to a close friend about stuff.

Granny. Love you as always!!

Wishing!! Congrats on the win!!!

And go York/granny/Linda Hal!!!!

I'm hoping for a nicer pullet, too. Mine has a comb that falls over, and I don't love that. I'm glad to have options, though.

I did a good one this time. Flo has been sitting on 3 chicken eggs and one dud duck egg since before my so called hatch . at least 25 days or more. So their no good right ? I tossed the duck outside and brought the chicken eggs in to candle and open. They were pretty full and black but I didnt see anything else. Took them to the back porch and took half the top off . white membrane w/full dead chick. I touched it to possible see how stiff (how long it has been dead ) and it kicked me. Its in my incubator in a plastic container with a sponge on it /beside it and a lid with a couple holes for air. The membrane has turned clear from the sponge and I can sit and watch it moving around . No external pip. I need a candler . Mine seems to have lost something. I am hoping its not too humid in there. @Sally Sunshine
