Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Here is one of my 2 month old chicks playing momma to her second set of babies. She has a strong mothering instinct. I think she's a keeper for baby raising. In the pic she was calling the chicks to her so she could sit on them. They had just came out of the bator and where still wet and the brooder hadn't warmed up yet. So I put little momma in to do her thing. Once it warmed up I put her back with her other 7 babies. The dark baby is a glue split to lav and the light one is a splash. There is another splash but it didn't go to her but to the heat lamp instead.




This is her first brood. You can see she still has pin feathers on her neck and head.

Oh, tonight we switch times, eh? Ok, thanks for the reminder.

Does anyone think that people would be interested in some Phoenix/Bantam EE crosses that lay a blue egg next year? How about the Ohiki look alikes created with the American Onagadori (non-molting longtails) and Bantam Lemon Cuckoo Cochin? Ummm, or Citron Spangled Hamburgs? I'm putting together breeding pen ideas here, and since it's a slooooooow night I thought I'd throw some questions out there. I know some of these aren't purebred, but I'd have those to offer too - d'Uccles of various varieties, Phoenix, possibly Nankins.

Just looking for some feedback. Thanks.

i like the Citron Spangled Hamburgs and the nankins i think some people with bantams would be after them...

Wow, you all were chatty today! I spent a good part of the day in the ER with DH, he has 3 kidney stones, poor guy! I am a nurse and work in the hospital and I rarely see patients in as much pain as he was in, he's feeling some better tonite, but the pain meds have made him a little loopy... Poor thing

 

[coffeekittie]

Oooooh kidney stones can make you wish you were dead. I'm so sorry!

Ok, thanks for the feedback Wayne813. The Citron Spangled Hamburgs are very pretty. I don't have adult Nankins yet, but the babies are cute and TINY.

How did you manage to get an Onagadori? Several years ago I was sold a pair of what I was told where American onagadori. There was a huge deal made of it because Onagadori are not suppose to be in the united states. What I had where phoenix which is what I was looking for in the first place. Those that where telling me they where not Onagadori set out to ruin every chance for me to sell eggs and they did it. I couldn't sell any eggs. I ended up taking their word for it that they where phoenix and sold all I had which where the original pair and 2 cockerels and a pullet I had hatched. I bought mine from a man in California and he was the one that made the claim that they where American Onagadori.

Just thought i would send a friendly warning about using that name. It's bound to cause you alot of greif.

Yes, I know there are strong opinions about calling them "American Onagadori". My birds are from Cy Hyde's line, and are the non-molting birds descended from the cocks that were allowed into the country. Hence, "American" affixed to the name. There are no true Onagadori in the US.

It seems more common to call them "American Onagadori" than to go into a full paragraph description, so that's what I did. Thank you for the warning.

Edited for grammar!

Good morning everyone!!

Glad to find this thread. Roosters are talking at this early hour. Someone forgot to tell them they could sleep in an extra hour this morning. LOL
