I have absolutely no idea where you ever heard such a thing about psych nurses .... no idea at all. (MOST of the psych staff I have worked with over the years are medicated, but not nearly enough)

HA. Fine with me. I prefer to be outside where the BIG people are and where there are chickens laying eggs!

You calling me small????????? I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I started to say where the big chickens were (the ones laying eggs), but it got all messed up when I had to answer the phone.

But, YES, I was calling you small!

Since this is the Incubation and Hatching section, I thought I would throw out some hatching news.

OK, I think I am done for July.

I hatched from my Lavender pen. Hatch dates July 10 and July 17. In this pen is Lavender Orpingon project rooster, Lavender hens, 1 Lavender mottled hen, 3 Light Sussex. The Lavender over Light Sussex are my project birds (to make Coronation pullets in 2 generations), and they hatch out black. I hatched 47 out of 50. Oh, and I hatched 10 out of 11 Jersey Giants, too. A few have gone to their new homes already.

Lavenders and 2 Black (Mottled?) from last week.

11 Blacks from last week (most are project birds).

A mix of all of them (last to hatch); Lavenders, Mottleds, and Jersey Giants.

These are the same ones from the above picture with the 2 brooders hooked together ...

Mottled question..........
What is the difference in markings as chicks for black mottled and lav? The chicks in these pictures feathered out as mottled blacks. How does one tell the difference?

My (original) yellow chick that I hatched from you feathered out Lavender. She is the one causing me grief right now!

In this picture, I think the two with black dots will feather out black, and the other one will feather out Lavender ....

Yup - Kathy, that's a great comparison pic!
