Hey shelley! I've been wondering how you've been doing! Everything good down in Ky? Is there a chance you could have a BR pullet or two? I have recently discovered that I love BR personalities. Do you still have the hens I traded you last year? The pair of Mottled I got from you are wonderful. The roo just became a daddy, got a blue chick and a black chick from him. Sold the blue (a cockerel), and kept the black (pullet). He's now worked his way up to second in command of the flock and is the official peacemaker. He stops all fights pretty quickly, and is a very good boy. I love him to pieces. The hen is so sweet and tolerates the kids hugging and kissing on her. And the Button Quail I got from you last year are thriving as well. I get such a kick out of the little male. If he hears the roos outside crow, or my cockatiel start to sing, he chimes in and crows, but it's so soft and sounds so much like laughing that I laugh every timehe does it. He's hilarious. I hope to catch you there again this year, especially if you do bring some BR pullets. Are your FBCM cockerels feather legged? I MIGHT need one if yours meet the French standard. I have two FBCM chicks but I don't know yet whether they are pullets or cockerels. If they are pullets, then I'll need a cockerel. If I have a pair, then I will only be on the lookout for more pullets. I'll let you know soon what mine are. It's wait and see right now as they are only going on 4 weeks old right now.
I'm setting a last batch of Bantams in my bator in a few days, and then I'm giving the bators a rest til the Fall. It's getting awful warm with them running all the time and the brooders running constantly. They've been on for a long time now. So, if anyone is interested in some Bantam Cochins, or Cochin mixes, let me know now. I'm going to put whatever I collect from the Bantams over the next couple of days in the bator once the batch that is hatching now is done and I get a chance to clean the bator out. I have 8 eggs right now, but I should have a dozen or more by the time I set them in the bator. I've been hatching out Splash, Blue, Black, and Barred Cochin chicks so far, as well as Silkie/Cochin mixes. Man, they all have AWESOME leg feathering! I don't remember if I mentioned this before or not, but I'll also have Cuckoo Marans mixes for sale as well. If you're looking for good layers, and gentle birds, these are perfect. I have a wonderful Silver Cuckoo Marans roo in with my hens (BA, SLW, Welsummer mixes, ASL), and he is so good with them, and the ladies lay so good that I get anywhere from 6 to 9 eggs a day from them. There are 9 girls. I think I might bring some hatching eggs from them to donate, but I should have some more for sale with me that day too. Let me know if anyone is interested so I know what, and how many to bring. Only 3 months to go!!! Can't wait!
