Hi, just found this realm of BYC. I am from near Mason City. Looking very forward to Waverly this weekend.
I have White Rocks, Dominiques, Delawares, Salmon Favorelles, Buff Orps, Lavender Orps. and a barred rooster that is suppose to be an EE. Also 1 pair of Peacocks and some Muscovy ducks, 5 cats, 2 horses, and 1 very spoiled golden retriever.

Welcome Chickeemama! Hopefully we'll see you there! We'll have a blue gooseneck trailer with lots of Muscovey ducks for sale. If I have my ETPoultry sign made by then, we'll be pretty easy to find!

Welcome to BYC!
Are your Dellies LF or bantam?
It would be fun to hear some stories about your Dellies, a breed I have recently become interested in.

I am interested in the heritage dellies. I go read the the "Dellie" thread every once in a while.

I have too but have never really gotten an answer from any folks on there.

How's P doing Steph?

PS so far no call from Ideal! Thats a good sign.

 

[mrandmrschicken]

I spoke too soon... Ideal just called and they were short 4 pullets in the hatch so I did the next best thing and ordered 3 more cockerels. It is not perfect but the best I could do at the time w/o having to order from another source Which is still an option as well. Everyone should be just fine however. as I did allow for loss on both orders! We do what we can with what we have to work with!

Mike... The chicks should be here at 6:30 am Friday. Don't know if you're an early riser but I am usually having coffee at 5 am and you're welcome anytime. I'll be busy stuffing birds in pet taxis for WI., since we will be leaving at 11:00. I am hoping I can give them all a bath tomorrow. Taking 8 birds, only one must be in her own taxi. I'll also be wanting to get the sale birds contained as well, got a number to choose from for your kids!

Steph... I forgot to tell you, we hatched another really cute little Serama, very small. This one is black and looks just like the IA Blues, only tiny. We've never hatched a black, pure bred Serama. I am concerned about the little Serama being so small and staying healthy. Also have a little Pyncheon X Whitey. That will be interesting.

P is still hanging out on her eggs. Three of the 4 I put under her to replace the originals were duds. Can't really tell on the 4th but it looks to be developing. It is an olive egg. I put three more eggs under her just in case that one is also a dud. I will move them to an incubator if the olive egg hatches.
I need to get another serama pullet/hen or two.

Hmmm a serama with a mohawk... should be fun!

I'll have Buckeyes, SLW, GLW and Wellies in the Spring. I have a hatch due 9/26 that will include Wellies. If they hatch early, I will bring them and give you a head's up.
