Anyone ever crack acorns to feed to their chickens? Acorns as Chicken Feed, Revisited http://livingthefrugallife.blogspot.com/2010/10/acorns-as-chicken-feed-revisited.html

We do! Our 4yo loves using the rubber mallet to crush them on the sidewalk. We use them more as treats than as a significant food source

FINALLY took an hour to upload this image!!! My eggies, there are quite a few fridge eggs I noticed that did make it, I didnt see the O on the is underneath and just 4 of the biggest oldest serama hens eggs, the tiny A eggs the hen was on were all infert..... this is a good sign for yours @venymae plus they are her prettiest frizzles too

Wait...I might have frizzy mini chickens?!? Hahaha I love it! Uglybator humidity is 35% now. Everything is looking good : )

I'd go with honey they won't all hatch and then half of them will be roosters so it's really not as much as it looks like. Lol

Love this!

I don't ask hubby, it is just something we don't talk about, although he can see the incubator running...he just pretends he doesn't see it.

my so just rolls eyes at me. Lol then I Catch them cooing over the Bator. Haha

Has anyone ever bred/hatched jubilee orpingtons?

I haven't but I think they're beautiful. I'm incubating a few molted/spangled Orpington eggs along with some others right now. I'd love to hatch out some jubilees someday though.

There fine with it.My last two chicks I had them running around.

They might not be fine with 22 of them running around

My Amerucauna's fuzzy legs.

I'm guessing the silvery one with the head spot is a boy. He's half CL.

The newest hatchers, though as I type another one hatched.

Has anyone ever bred/hatched jubilee orpingtons?

I tried 7 shipped Jubilees. All clear. I read somewhere that jubilees have low fertility rates or it might have been low hatching rates. Either way, I'm going to stay with Lavenders and try some Chocolates next Spring. I had some chocolates on order but their production slowed and the breeder was not able to ship
