June 2023 Hatch-a-long

[gimmie birdies]

I have 2 roosters left of my 4 month old ones...a NN, and a spitz mix. On our local bulletin board is a LO rooster advertised. I am so tempted. to snag him for my adult hens... What to do???

Chicken math questions have easy answers.

Of course you snag him!

Snuck some OEGB eggs into the incubator yesterday... >.> I'm running out of room in there again, lol!

Still have about two dozen eggs to put in from my small flock. Some are older eggs, so I doubt they'll develop, but who knows.

Can someone de-acronym the name for me but without hesitation, I second the idea to snag him

You do love your OEGB's!

The eggs really aren't worth eating, they are so small. Takes three of them to make one regular chicken egg, if not more. But more so, they lay so few eggs per year, I want to hatch as many as I possibly can!

But yes, I love my miniature chickens... >.>

Please ignore the fact that my eggs are filthy.

At the top are duck eggs which are due to hatch on the 15th of June. Perspective makes them look smaller than the ones on the bottom.

Rows three and four have OEGB eggs, as well as other chicken eggs. And the rest are all chickens from my flock. Pretty sure half of those will end up in the dog's dish.

Those are some beautiful eggs!

Swedish flowers don't come in a bantam variety

Ah ok! Didn’t know she was bantam. She
reminds me of this hen that I have.

What a pretty hen! Yes they do indeed look similar! Even if there were bantam Swedish Flowers Hens though, I don't think they'd be available here
