Great idea on the leg bands...


Did you get the chickens on CL Amy?

Just FYI... I'm leaving town for a couple of days on a business trip. I've left the keys to the state website with Missy. Let me know if she got too crazy!!

My little serama just hatched one egg.. I'll post when I get back.

No, I was just passing along in case any of you were interested. I do want some more and if I could get grown ones, not chicks, that would be awesome.

Good idea on the leg bands!
Have a good trip Joe, seeya when you get back!

OK I am going to bite the bullet & fire up my 'bator next week. My wheaton Ameracauna rooster has become a major PITA - he tries to flog me every time I go through the gate. This morning he was all over me the minute I opened up the coop to let them out for the day. That's it. Time to hatch his replacement!

Terri Ann I love that you're gonna " hatch His replacement" It's the first time I can wish someone,.. "hope ya get a roo!" on their hatch!!!

Here they are... One refuses to wear hers, I've put it on twice... But other than that, they work great! They are 8 inches long & can be cut to size, so you can get 15 or so from one pack,.. Not bad for 2 bucks!

Woohoo! I am soo hooked on this hatching bit. I have four chicks now. Two are chipmunk, one black, and one yellow. All are from the EE's I picked up from Twiley @ the Expo, and one may be from the egg that was laid there.
I got a LG from a friend today and plan to add a computer fan and a turner. I've read mixed reports about them here, but will give it the old college try.

Isn't that the coolest thing! That's how I got started. I was actually helping a friend to hatch her chicks. I found it so fascinating. Since then, she's long given up hatching but, I was hooked from then on.

On the Ameraucanas, I'm sure that the yellow chick will be solid white. I had a few that were solid white. I didn't have any that were solid black. That's interesting!

My Sussex go on lockdown tomorrow. I have 16 Coronations with a few being splits, and 12 Buff Sussex. I am keeping my fingers crossed that most hatch.

Also, I should be getting my 10 Silver Sussex that I ordered back in February delivered tomorrow -- I hope they arrive alive

I would definitely add a fan to the LG. Now that mine are "re-engineered" they work much better. What I notice the most is how quickly the little chicks fluff up after hatching.

I like the leg bands, although, I don't understand what the colors mean.
