I have... Cucko Marans, BLRW & JG lockdown on Mon.

Seramas & some of my bantam mixes lockdown Tues.

Seramas & some of my bantam mixes & silkie mixes lockdown on the 22nd.

The Silkies hens seem to be all the boys favorites, guess they are the hotties of the chciken world, or just loose

. I have a GL Polish rooster and a tiny Creole OEGB rooster that each picked a Silkie girlfriend. These mixes should be interesting.

I could not get on BYC earlier this am.

Thanks so much for the offer! That sounds like a good idea - I hadn't thought of a test run! My problem is I can't have but so many chickens (no fun, I know...) and to get all the different kinds of chickens I want and several eggs of each of course, I could potentially end up with WAY more than I can handle already. Unless it doesn't go well... So what should I do?? I'd love to hear advice!!! Plus, isn't it easier if all the chicks are pretty much the same age or a month difference not a big deal? So many questions!!! But I really do appreciate the offer and may take you up on it depending on all of your thoughts and advice!!!

Miss Lydia, I saw a post where someone was excitedly trying to get ahold of you to tell you about their pips and wasn't able to PM you. Might want to look for it if you didn't see it already!!!

Off to hopefully finish clearing the spot for the run and prepare to move the coop into its spot!!!! Cross your fingers that all goes well and we actually get some good stuff accomplished! Have a great day everyone!

Those prices are not mine, that's the lady in GA who just brought a bunch of colors over and those are some of her cheaper prices!! Not sure she is going to get that, from what I am hearing don't know how many are going to take those kind of risks?? She has no clue about the breed or standards she is in it all for the $$, for me it's a passion for the breed, correct conformation, offering good 'quality' stock and having fun with them at the shows.

SCM, be sure to take lots of pics, we love to see whats going on in everyones back yard

and BHep so exciting, seeing the ages of your kids I bet they love to watch all the eggs hatch, and they probably love having all the ducklings and chicks running around every where. I thought you were going to hatch some calls or was that someone else, so many hatching I can't keep up with whos hatching what.

Hey HT can you give me approximate birth dates on the 2 girls I got from you? and just wanted to say how much I am loving them. Last night I gave them the run of the bedroom while I was on here and it was so much fun watching them run around trying to fly up onto things which means I'll have to watch them more cause I don't want poop on the quilt on the bed, but they are really cool birds..this afternoon they will go outside for a while in some much needed sonshine!!

What a beautiful day (so far)!

As of this morning I have two special little black bantam orps out and all three of my English blacks are pipped, two of them are zipping.

After these English hatch today we have a couple more weeks of hatching some of his stock and then I am going to stop let this group grow out some. I may start to get bator withdrawls.

Oh wait, I have other projects going on so the bator keeps running!!
