Amy it was sort of a surprise to me. Is wizard one of the birds you got from me? He sure is throwing some nice color.

Hi Danny!

Yup! Wizard is one of the fellas I got from you and the other is Dan the Man!

I have eggs up on the BYC auction with photos of them and who they are with right now. I have hatched numerous chicks from these pens and will be changing the girls and boys around soon for spring breeding plus adding some new girls growing up and looking over a few roos that are maturing, too.
This fall I may sell off some of my "used" ladies to make room for my up and coming stars.

Danny, your boys have really added some nice type to my breeding program.

hey you guys

I haven't been on this thread in a long time, but I wanted to let Lynne know that I just set 6 eggs from my pair on the 1st. I candled them last night and all 6 are developing so far.

I can't wait to see what happens!

Amy- we didn't do so well...as I mentioned several of the air sacks were wonky but we hatched a Wizard chick and one from the frizzle cross this is my tiny sweetie...about half the size of the other new hatch but cute! Now feather out calico and I will be

Danny, I've tried to message you.. been trying to get ahold of you to see if we can get more Columbian hens/pullet/eggs... or looking to see what else you may have for sale--we LOVE the 4 we bought from you--all won 1st places at the State Fair!!

So, which breeds do you breed together if you don't have pre-bred cochins?

Jbear....
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your message. I am thrilled that you will have little ones soon.

I never tire of seeing babies hatch

I just had 3 babies hatch a few days ago from my Lemon Blue LF Cochin project & more due tomorrow. They look like little chubby balls of fluff

Please let us know how things go with your 6 eggs. We "love" pics ~!

Crap, I have forgotten! I need to settle on one breed, I suppose, so I can retain some intelligent thinking here. It is in some of the firsts posts on this thread I believe.

I started with MF/buff Columbian crossed birds and added Mottled to the mix. I still have a ways to go since I have only been doing this less than 18 months. But I am getting some nice chicks, I think.

Also, I added a bonus to my auction! Since a snow storm is supposed to hit tonight and we could get several inches of snow and ice I probably won't be able to ship out until Wed. so all those eggs can go with the dz I sell. Could make it 2 dz even!
Don't laugh! If we get an inch of snow everything shuts down! We can't drive in the stuff and no one can drive in ice.

I forgot to udate you guys. I got what looks like it may be a pullet and a cockerel. The pullet so far is a healthy little chick. The cockerel I am not sure if it will make it. I have started it on a vitamins as recommended by wwmicasa. Even though these guys were not hers she has been a huge help. I think we spent an hour pming back and forth. Thank you.

Pullet

The cockerel looking up. He looks up a lot and falls over backwards. He also runs around like he is drunk. I hope the vit pull him out of it.
