Yup, what Msbear said!
An ongoing project with plenty of disappoints and challenges but so worth all the time and energy.

Lol I am not allowed to buy any more just now.

I have eggs coming from MI this week from Mrschickendad. Good luck.

I just hope my Faverolle hens start giving me more eggs. I would like more than 1dz in the bator.


But I did think about it.

People keep outbidding me, I am trying for both MFC egg auctions, and keep getting outbid! NOOOOOOO!!!! I need these!! Otherwise I will have a bator going with only 6 eggs in it! Nooo!!

MF Cochin chicks come in alot of different colors. These are my 1/11/11 MF Cochins chicks at 1 week and at one month. My hatches last week have three lt. yellows with a dusting of orange, 2 that are chipmunk colored and marked, and a cutie that has a lt. yellow front half and a grey back!

Look how much this one changed in a month

I'm sorry your shipped eggs didn't do well. I have had mixed results the 5 times I got shipped eggs last summer. All that I've gotten have been packed well but fertility has been very mixed.

He has a bad gene, I have to get rid of him to a pet-only home. He is only good for show or pet. I removed him from my breeding pen a month ago.

I have 20ish eggs being shipped tomorrow!!!

I wonder what the extra frizzles will look like? They should be here by Wed or Thurs.

BEAUTIFUL babies! I just hatched one that was all yellow at hatch, and in just a couple days has dark feathers showing on its back! I love to see that changes as they grow.
