Woohoo, I think I got a wyandotte egg! It's pullet-sized, and the color of my legs in the winter.

Congrats Missy, it sounds like it's her first egg then.....Way To Go!

or my legs all year round! I've gotten 3 creamy colored eggs from one of the wyandottes so far. I wonder if they will stay that light.

No they won't stay that light but they will be lighter than your BR's are and without the pink tint to them. Just let me know if you want to see them?

that could be cool to see if it's not too much trouble to post a photo.

I wish my EE's would kick it into gear. Just 2 green eggs so far and none in a week and a half. i've read on here that the EEs can take a little longer to start laying but i'm impatient!

Ok, bird check...

This is what we have coming back on Saturday:

Candy's hatch lavenders, wheatens, blue wheatens, BLRW, splash wheatens, still hatching (all of them spoken for)
Candy's culls (for Sunny, all spoken for)

Kirstie's chicks:

Chicks that have hatched so far ~ 3 lavender (4th is single combed but available) 2 black lav split chicks. (Lacey, me, Elizabeth)

8 BLRW chicks (Elizabeth, maybe Sheryl and Seth... I'll let you guys argue over who gets what.)

3 lavender Ameraucanas from her first hatch~ 3 wks old? (spoken for, but there may be extras)
2 lavender Ameraucanas from her second hatch (one has a single comb) (spoken for, but there may be extras)
Black lav split cull chicks. (none spoken for yet)

(All of the above are $8 each, unless Candy corrects me on price)

5 "Mossy feathered" GCM cull chicks (some could feather in regular cuckoo) $7.00 each. (Me, Aubrey, Elizabeth... but we haven't yet argued over who gets how many. If anyone else wants one, make your claim now.)

To Lacey and Elizabeth: it looks like we'll get the lavenders we want, depending on how many of Candy's hatch. Do you still want them all? I can just bring back all of the lavenders, and it should pretty much equal how many we originally ordered. Then, if there are any leftover, I can ask here if anyone wants them.

How does that sound to everyone?

If anyone else is interested in any of these chicks, please speak up. We can work something out, I'm sure. We may have some extras, since they're not all done hatching. New BYC members, this is extended to you, as well.


Sheryl, I'm thinking we can separate into 2 Rubbermaid containers, 1 for new chicks and one for 2-3-week ones. If you have all the space in the back of your Yukon available, I know we can fit them. I fit two full-sized rabbit cages in the back of mine last Saturday. And Sahara can be caretaker all the way home.

If I need to make any changes, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible, so I can let Candy know. She needs to have everything in order by Saturday morning, so I need to have the final count in Friday night.

If everyone can confirm exactly what you want, within a single post or message, that will really help.

I would say yes to bring home all the lavs. If there are enough lavs to get the two I wanted originally, that is great. i would take the lav black splits, as well, although i think they are all black in color, just carrying the lav gene.

Sheryl, I think Missy had mentioned you wanted 1 BLRW chick? is that right? Seth, let me know if you want any BLRW chicks. i think they are about 3 weeks old. I will take the 6 or 7 left after Sheryl takes hers but speak up if you want a few of those.

Missy, thanks for your coordination of all this. You have been very generous in working this all out and it probably ended up being more than you bargained for.

When we thought we wouldn't have enough lavenders, you mentioned you'd be good with 2 of Kirstie's black chicks, which are currently hatching. Do you still want those, and are you interested in the black/lav culls on top of those?

So that would be...
2 lavender
2 black
The rest of the BLRW after Sheryl and Seth decide what they want
GCM chicks (want 1 or 2?)
And did you want the black/lav culls in addition?

I am thinking of getting 1 BLRW but I don't want it to be lonely before the ducklings get here.

I can foster until you're ready. I'm getting some older GCM and Lav. chicks so they'll be the same age.
