Catching up on here. Haven't been on in awhile, things have been crazy with my husband deployed!!!
Congrats to everyone with hatches!

Hi Dutchbunny, I used to be stationed at Ft. Bragg at the 4th PSYOPS Battalion. Now I am in TN. Have some fond memories of the place though.

Hello, My name is Fernie. I am a hatching addict. I currently am without an incubator, no broody hens and the ducks will not come near me. I have the bug bad. Really want to get some eggs and shove it under one of the duck hens, but don't want to waste money either.
Help I feel myself falling off the wagon here. I have been incubator free for 3 years. Now I have the bug again.

And their families!

with the split roo, yes you'll get chocolate girls that carry the lacing genes. the other pullets will NOT carry chocolate. the roos might or might not carry chocolate, but you'd never know it without test breeding.

breed the chocolate pullets to a silver laced roo with excellent lacing and type. that will make all the cockerels split chocolate and then breed them to the best silver laced hen you can find. that'll give you some chocolate laced silver girls. keep going back to silver laced with either chocolate girls or split roos. then once you've got great type and lacing on chocolate girls, go back to the best split chocolate roos you have, and you'll start getting chocolate roos.

sex linked mutations are stupid simple to work with, it's the lacing and type that's the kicker.

I recorded the song on my Garage Band program. It is an Mp3 format. Lets see if I can get it to hook to this post.

Rats! I can't without posting it to a website online. I will see if I can get it to load to YouTube but if you would like to have it before I get it figured out PM me with your email and I can send it direct.

The roo guys are the BEST and WORST LOL. Makes you feel confident you should hatch more and more and more and then they dont show and you have to find a NEW roo guy. I dont get paid for mine really. Well one guy brings me some pine shavings for roos but he gets the bigger roos too. The little roos are free if they go QUICKLY since I dont have to feed them.

Please do not be any where near northeast Wisconsin. I would be snatching roos like you would not believe.
