Morning all!! We're finally above freezing and the rain started again! whoo hoo! no more of the yucky dry cold or frozen fog. So glad I live here and not somewhere colder! I like snow, in small doses. Like once a year, to melt within a couple of days.
Look what came this morning! 44 bantam Cochin chicks!!! Here is my breakdown... 9 black and yellow chicks. Probably mottled. 10 lt blue. I am thinking blue maybe self blue. 6 pale yellow. White 7 darker yellow/buff. They are buff and red. (I didn't realize they had both colors when doing my count) 3-4 that are a pale yellow with a bluish tinge. I have no idea what color they will be..... 4 silverish wild type. Either silver laced or silver penciled. 5 brownish black/brown wild type. I think they will be partridge. They have the same special going on for next week. :)
Jealous!! I want some chickies! I have some coming in March and some hatching in 2 weeks. I hate waiting!
Holy Cow!!!!! I usually keep mine at 60-65, however, I do sometimes raise it for a little bit.
Brrr....I keep mine at 68. I'm cold blooded though, unless it's like 85 outside, I'm freezing, even with multiple layers, extra socks and coats.
Which hatchery? We have ideal which is very close...I don't tend to care for hatchery stock...do you do well with those? What special do they have?
 
yeah, I had them up before Christmas and stopped as I didn't want to get TOO many. They are just pullets and all should start laying around the same time. Once those swaps are filled and I have hatched some more out. I may offer some more or put some eggs for sale.
I have those silver laced brahmas I just mentioned, 4 gold laced pullets and 2 gold laced roos, and a 2 buff laced with 2 buff roos.


Man! How did I miss those? Lol...he has eggs up now but I cant do poo until Spring....

Yes, Ideal. This is my first time ordering from them, so far it has been great. I ordered 40 and received 44. Since I am in Kansas no additional shipping costs! Yippee!
 
ok, trying to plan shipments for next week. Are the temps going to get better? Doesnt matter what my temps are with the rest of you having such cold temps.

We are supposed to be closer to normal by this weekend. Warming up from the high of 4 degrees we had Tuesday to a whole 35 this coming Sunday! I know 35 doesn't sound warm to most people, but it sounds great to me!
 
Oohh I just was checking on the chicks and I think one is a barred!!!! Please be a girl! If they are sex able like barred rocks, I would say it is..please be a girl!
