Hi Everyone!
Thought I'd check in, been so excited the last couple days I've hardly slept so I'm sure feeling it now, yeesh, need a nap - HAHA!
Chick #9 (a BO) just popped out seconds ago, there is the goofy
5 ducklings, it looks like 2 chick eggs with pips at this moment, and then STILL the same duck & turkey egg as this AM with pips and have done nothing else...I really hope I get at least ONE turkey...
Congrats everyone that had babes, how you making out
Cynthia12? I had sent you a PM earlier...did you get it?
Did you check the temp out on the back deck
asearcby79?

Ksane?
Cute babe,
JeffJustJeff, I had ordered Black Copper Marans this spring and they all ended up being roos, haha - oh well, that's the luck sometimes.
Oh and get this! I had grabbed 4 blue eggs from my neighbours cause she just has the one Ameraucana hen, BUT in her menagerie she has both a Red Sussex X roo and an Ameraucana roo, well my 3 little Red Sussex X that have popped out look just like our babes last year when we had ordered them, then these two little blue eggs bust open and sure enough, Big Red was the daddy of those too, must be cause they are yellow w/ a little brown with pink legs! haha
The other two blue Ameraucana's I got from somewhere else are BLUE with BLUE legs, . I still have two of the neighbour's blue eggs and 3 brown eggs in there so I am interested in seeing if that Ameraucana roo had anything to do with anything, or if he's just around for his good looks - LOL.
So if I have an Ameraucana/Red Sussex X hen w/ the yellow legs, I wonder if that means she'll have brown eggs when she lays or if she can still have coloured eggs? Does anyone know? I just thought that was kind of neat and don't have a clue how that works. Guess we'll have to wait and see...
