R U putting the eggs in an incubator ??

 

[Criskin]

Thanks Debbi! Davlyn I'm putting them in the incubator as soon as they rest for a bit. I hear it is best to let them set out anywhere from 6-24 hours when they've been shipped.

Ok. I never ordered eggs B4. I'd like a few more, but we have R winter coming real soon. My 2 newest born R only 5 wks. Don't want any younger just B4 winter.

Thanks everyone for the critique on Harley.
He is 7 months old, will his color or tail feathers change with a molt?
This thread has really helped me alot.
I realize I probably culled some of Harleys brothers for the wrong reasons.

I don't even have enough that are old enough to cull yet, although I do see my 3 month old roo going to freezer camp!

Without the help of everyone here, I wouldn't know what to keep or cull. I'm sure many have been in your shoes, and culled without more knowledge. This is the place to learn!! Harley is a keeper in my book, even with my very limited experience! Keep reading, sharing, and asking questions! That's how we all learn!! There are some folks here with great experience and first hand knowledge, and some even with YEARS in chickens in general. Now to add Bev Davis and Walt Leonard to the thread, we are all truely blessed!!

Thanks Kim,

I have to follow this every day (2 or 3 times) to keep up with all the posts. I am learning so much and my daughter loves to look at all the pictures and dark eggs.

Thanks again,

Les

Just to echo what Jan said, I don't believe he will look much different after molt because he looks pretty good the way he is. After he molts post a new picture of him.
