She was hatching Buckeyes and Ralph hatches Legbars

Oh okay. And you are getting buckeyes from her?

I am hatching the following, but mostly selling eggs this year:
Buckeyes
New Hampshires
Welsummers (for laying only due to some color issues)
Black Ameraucanas (not laying yet with not extra light)
Easter Eggers
White Silkies
Blue Silkies
Bantam Salmon Faverolles
Also a cute cross I am working on as a project with bantams. I will attempt to get some pictures of them soon.

Congrats on the hatch! That must have been fun to see first thing in the morning.

I've been comparing Blue Seal and Nutrena feeds. Have you ever used Nutrena?

Well, that it kind of what you get for living on the Arrowhead, dear.

This is true.

Congrats on the great hatch!!

You only get New Hampshires if you promise to drop "Reds". That is what hatcheries call their production types, mine are standard bred and they are officially called New Hampshires. It is one of those things like the hatcheries calling Easter Eggers all Ameraucanas, wrong labeling.

I haven't used any Nutrena except back when we first got rabbits I tried it. It was expensive and not any better than what else I was using. My friend who sells the BS had started by buying just the Kent Rabbit feed. She breeds for national level shows with her rabbits that she has been breeding for almost 30 years. She told me that Kent is the best feed she has ever used and then became a dealer so she could feed all of her animals with Kent/Blue Seal. She also has studied (degrees) in related fields that she knows her stuff, so I trust her. One thing to watch too is the weight on the bags, some sell theirs in 40# bags vs. 50# and the price is the same, so you are paying quite a bit more.

Do you think I could get some Buckeye Browns from you?
