New York mini chickenstock 2016

[Chicken girl 15]

I just might be a hen short if I get attacked one more time!!!! Stinking dog can walk up and kiss the hen, me I walk past to go to my garden I get attacked! !! I seriously hope crossing the reds to the spitzhauben will make a nicer bird. Next time it's to the pot with her!!

is this about right for day 8?

OK - I keep promising and keep getting busy - but I'll make a list soon of what I have and who gets it soon.

Anyway Boskilli - you wanted willow starts before - none took good root - so that fell flat last year ... BUT I got rooting powder and can give it another try if you like ?

Again - will have very small wild plum (beech plum) starts, willow starts, and my hatching eggs (Marans, ABs, and Colo Mix) - I'm trying to have chicks available - but no guarantees as it will only be my second incubator hatch ever ...

I have decided to part with 2 of the white splash AB adult hens if anyone is interested - $15 each - they are the new breed - and I will also have some AB hatching eggs - and will be putting in the bator ... so maybe the babies .... That will leave me with 2 white and 2 grey hens and a grey roo with a few new babies ... a good size for my AB flock .... These hens are exactly 1 year old in 3 days - and didn't lay through the winter - so a good prime age.

Yep I love candling at day 7 and to see those little embryos moving around

Hi could I get a few Marans chicks if at all possible?

Susieq2015 - sure - will all depend on what hatches out - they should be about a week old by chickenstock ... remember - they will not be show quality - because I am mixing parent feather color - moms are black copper, blue/black/splash and cuckoo ... daddy is a big pure white fellow ... so it is a toss up on what the feather color will be - but the egg color will be a pure dark Marans !

For some reason AB is not registering in my brain, what is it?

AB= Arkansas Blue.
