Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[CelticOaksFarm]

Ok, I am sharing a pic of one of my new boys. They have made me change my mind about Jubilees. You guys know I am an orp person, but was not really sure I liked the jubilees. Yes, I have some growing out, but still not sure. Until now. I think this guy is beautiful. I also have one a little younger, but this one was easier to take a picture of. For right now, he is going in the pen with my BBS orp girls. What do you guys think? Oh, and for a size reference, he is in the largest dog crate that they make.

OK you are right, they are stunning. JUST what I needed another pen. Cant wait see you again in a few weeks.

Of course I am on a brahma mission today too

I've determined that I'd like to have a silkie or two, to use as mamas. Anyone have any eggs they'd like to swap for jams?

Yes, you can get quite a few under those. However - they don't usually try to go broody on rocks.. which Silkies will. If you need a broody Silkie - leave the eggs in the nest. OR put golf balls in there. I just heard somewhere that they were originally created to brood partridges for the Emperors... its bred into them!

I would have Silkie eggs.. but all my Silkies went broody - only have one Frizzle girl who isn't...

pacing myself for the weekend lol


night all......just wrangled the 1 week old monsters out and put the newly hatched goslings on the floor with the big eco brooder (THANKS KRAFTY it is a huge help) and turned all the eggs still cooking. We have goslings everywhere again, cant wait for Monday to ship out one more time. Looks like many of the early may goslings are hatching female

not a bad thing, but didnt think we would run female heavy all season either
