Of the breeds you posted, this is what I have...

Heritage RIR's, these are not your ordinary RIR's. Both Rose comb and Straight comb.
Barred Rocks, both hatchery stock and exhibition
Welsummers
BBS Ameracauna's, as well as Easter Eggers.
Silver Laced Wyandottes.

I will want the day old chicks next spring what prices will you have on your chicks? Are the heritage RIR's the good layers that the hatchery stock is? For me I need the egg production. Hopefully in a few years when the economy is not so rough I can afford to do other things.

We'll have black sex links also. Chicks are $3 each or 10 for $27.

This is my first year with the Heritage RIR's. I've heard nothing but good things about them, but honestly, will know more when mine start laying.

Three chicks out and one mostly out. He pipped the wrong end and was stuck upside down. I laid the egg on its side instead and peeled a little of the shell he had cracked away.

They are all blue/black. The first one though has a golden red head. I put him under my forever broody P. She has been clucking to him.


The ferret has now become a family pet. My 16 year old was in tears over the whole mess. I love my husband and I'm gonna banish him from auctions.

Lost a blue Cochin baby this morning

Very tiny compared to the others and always seemed a bit confused. S/he kept getting kicked about with the broodies - in fact both mamas rejected him so I separated him. I brought it in and gave electrolytes but I think it was too late for intervention. Everyone else is doing well though!

 

[pbjmaker]

The mama's probably could discern something we couldn't - it is always hard to lose one but sometimes it is for the best.

 

[harleyjo]

I will keep this in mind as I get closer to next spring.

My Pekingese, Griffin, just got hit by a car tonight. It killed him instantly, thank goodness, so he didn't suffer.

Trish - I am so sorry to hear that
