Spydertoys yes you can take stuff to the auction. They take birds in till the sale starts I believe. But you would want to get there way early or yours will be the late selling. The only way I know is to take Hwy 100 from Franklyn Ky to Scottsville. There will be signs on the way.

So I am an exterminator and I was spraying a group of apartments near Fort Knox. I went into one who was a new move in and there setting below a guinea pig in a cage just big enough to take two steps in any direction was a chicken! I ended up talkiing her into let the hen come and live with mine. She wasnt mistreated but it just wasnt the greatest situtation as I m sure y'all would agree. She was feeding her layer ration, had clean water, let her out to wlk around the house daily. The wierd thing is she is a cuckoo maran. White legs, definately not a barred rock, and darker than normal eggs. Obviously hatchery stock. A year old and has never seen another chicken. Going to be rough introducing her.

Oh that's nice. I bet she'll take to them in no time.​

So, I guess I'm going to Sano tonight - mostly out of desperation

I need room in my house!!!!!!!

I need to take the ducks, too - guess I ought to start chasing them down soon and getting them caged. (yeah, that's gonna be fun! not.)

I got my truck back (finally

!!!!!) got some more lumber for the duck pen (got two posts up yesterday before the rain hit.)

Got one last egg that hasn't pipped yet, leaving it til tomorrow, though - makes 16 eggs out of 17 hatched -- best hatch yet for me.
I'm thinking of doing smaller batches like that (I can fit three batches like that, staggered into the bator, instead of one really big batch).

Here's something high on the WEIRD-O-METER ---
I know for a fact that I only set eggs from the top coop - I have three barred rock looking babies from that hatch. Last batch I had one BR baby (also from top coop only).

I've been trying to figure it out, and all I can come up with is (pure speculation, here) That since the Delaware has BR in it's history somewhere, and the White Rocks are also Plymouth Rock genes - something got crossed back and made Barred Rocks. (???!maybe!???)

It's one for the geneticist wizards, I'm just guessing.

I have both sexes of the Barred Rocks come out of the pairings, so it isn't some freaky sex link type of thing going on, either.

It's just Bizarre.

Any genetic gurus out there?

Oh

and I set one HUGE egg, thought it might be a double yolker, was just playing around - and it hatched. Not a double yolker but this chick filled the entire egg cavity - it was HUGE. Hubby promptly named it ABBY (AB Normal - from Young Frankenstein

)

It seems to be doing ok - but is a bit slower to get on it's feet than the others (cause it is about the size of a week old chick, now, wonder what it'll look like when it starts to actually grow

)

My baby duckie seems to be hanging in there - hope it makes it.

That's funny, we have had some hatch that were totally massive when they did too!

We went to Day & Day yesterday to pick up my chicks that they didn't have Wed. when we went there. I guess they just aren't getting brahmas this time, so good thing you ordered yours Meri. Cris picked out the chicks, and dad decided to be 'nice' and buy a bag of chick starter for me. That added another 5 chicks to the mix. So we have 4 more buff cochins, 2 RIR

, 2 amberlinks (whatever those are), and 2 that are either columbian rocks or golden comets. Should be interesting to see what comes out of those. I doubt we will keep the RIR, rocks, or links, but we'll see. Highly doubt it though.

So now I have a total of 9 buff cochins, and 10 black cochins. Should be able to get a decent sized breeder group out of that.
