I sent you a pm regarding the 'set-by' timeline for the more 'common' species. I didn't include any pheasant, partridge, or peafowl, so if anyone needs to know when to set these just ask

(a PM would be noticed quicker than a post here, the posts get a bit lost in the shuffle

)

I'm afraid to ask how much for Tolbunt Polish Hatching eggs...

I have no clue.

Mine are crosses right now, so you'd get a 50/50 of ones that simply look like Gold Laced hens and ones that look like Tolbunts, plus, I'm not even getting any for myself yet, so. . . . The question would be to someone who has 'em.

The last birds I got out of my Tolbunt boys were accidental Marans crosses. One of them looks like a Tolbunt colored Marans (with a crest and beard), the rest all look like EE colored mutts.

Ok.. finally caught up. Things are starting to pick up here.

I just finished hatching out 12/14 yesterday.
2 Black Molted D'Uccles....2 gold neck D'uccle...2 golden seabrights...6 bantam white cochin. Got the egg from a BYCer. Wonder what the chances of getting a pair each of the D'Uccles & seabright

Give the little guy special attention, make sure he is eating and drinking. His feet need to be taped out on a flat piece of cardboard for a day or so. This is common in late hatchers. Some times they straighten out themselves, but the earlier you correct them the more luck you will have. Anybody know where there is a picture of a taped chick?

Does anyone know where I can get some exchequer leghorns?
