Congrats JEH! I was only 1,000 off on my guess lol. I guessed 12,000. I had no clue so I used my handy calculator and used estimates lol.
HAA haaa . . . I used estimated averages too. Figured about middle third would have about 50 , the upper 25% 75 or so and the lower 25% about 15. BUT I put in my numbers too early!!!! I figured about 150 participants, NOT 230!!! That really killed my estimate!! LOL
Thank you so much, Mahonri! I am really excited about this project. Out of 200 eggs hatched, I got only 3 females and about 20 males to go on to the F3s. All the rest were barred, black, buff columbian, or buff barred. I gave away tons of chicks. I am hopeful the F3s (which should be 100% Delaware) will do justice to the breed. I will continue to work on them. The Delawares are the first breed I fell in love with. It is a shame that our heritage breeds are becoming so rare.I PRAY SHE DOESN'T MIND ME SHARING THIS WITH YOU... (if she does I'll delete) BUT,![]()
Kathy is a MAJOR HERITAGE breeder here in the United States of America!.... She has almost got the new modern version of the Heritage Delaware Breed down to a science starting with the very best of the best Heritage Plymouth Barred Rocks and the very best Heritage New Hampshires available anywhere.
Check out these lovelies... just 1 or 2 generations away from being completely perfect.... I drool just looking at them!

Blarneyeggs, try PM'ing Kathy. She just hatched two. Or you could PM The Sherriff. She has hatched some emus out.

To continue on with this project, I need to sell my other breeds. I have 18 pens and coops, and it takes lots of room for a project like this. Sooooooo, if anyone is interested in my other stock, PM me. I won't ship them. I am keeping only: New Hampshires, Barred Rocks, Projects, Icelandics, and 1 pen of Silver Laced Wyandottes. All the others are going.......![]()
