I haven't had any of my new ones lay eggs yet either but they are only 4 months old. My Wyandotte will be first to. She's getting ready by the looks of her comb and wattles so next month she should start.

I need help. Talk me out of it. This BYC member is letting you pick 12 hatching eggs, and shipping them to you, for $20 total.

I do have broodies! Sour is sitting on some eggs that are due to hatch on the 25th, but Cacciatore has no eggs right now. That's why I'm considering it.

If I have extras, would anyone want some, considering we had this icky bronchitis crap in April?

That is... if I don't waffle on this so long that the auction is over.

Maybe if I get them and Cacciatore goes un-broody, then someone with a broody might want some? It's just a super good deal.

 

[2seth2]

so yay or nay

 

[Lacy Blues]

anldasions right. I want 1 I want 1 I want 1 pick ME!!!!!!!!! oomg now i know how abury felt when she whent from 4 to what is 30 now?

And you want just one? I see you're in Reno, so a pullet? I'll have to figure out when I'll be coming to Reno and I could bring yours as well as AmericanValkyrie's birds. You sure you don't want two to help with the transition?

 

[2seth2]

ummmmm well lets see if they were different colors ya. are they old enough to be out in a coop? and if there are any show prospects you are willning to part with that would be great. i live in a non rooster area so i can't breed.

So then do you show?

I will be holding onto most of the birds that would be considered show quality (I don't get many because I can't breed huge numbers). I haven't figured out prices for them yet, assuming I was to sell some of them.

Here are some pics.

Keep in mind, the tails on these birds are pretty much destroyed after spending 3 weeks in a nest box.

First is a shot of my broody little splash hen. She hatched out all these chicks on June 7. They are almost
6 weeks now and its VERY easy to tell the boys from the girls.



Here's my splash rooster being a good daddy to a splash baby (not his). The hen hatched this one out.
Not sure what happened, she had 6 eggs to start with.



This was the best pic I could get of the baby. She kept hiding behind Mom.




American Valkyrie... in front is the chick with the patch of black. Next to her is a splash pullet. These
could go together if you want. They are (right now) about 4 weeks old. I'm fairly certain they are both
pullets. Not sure exactly when I can get to Reno right now but it will probably be more than a week and
by then I will be certain they are both pullets... or not.


This one shows the splotches of color on the splash. You can see she won't just look like a dirty white.


This is little patch. Should have pretty fair lacing but I can't use a bird with that patch. I've never seen
this before and I have no idea why it happened. This chick is a baby of the splash male/black female
in the earlier picture.
