As for the cost, haven't hatched these yet although I am seeing bullseyes so would just be eating egg cost, $2.50/dozen. I can't guarantee my two roos are getting to all 12 leghorns as they have 30 ladies to choose from. I know they are hitting on at least a few of them lol.

These are some ugly birds but strangely attractive. I don't have any, but have no room either. Surprisingly winter hardy too. Should I say don't have any "yet". Remember folks I'm always open for egg trades. Eggs for hay, straw, horse manure if you shovel.

The new arrivals. 12 Red Dorkings, and 3 Packing Peanut Silver penciled Rocks. All but 1 are doing great.

I love my NN's. The boys are ugly, but the girls are cute to me. They did just fine in the cold (even my pullets) and I like them because they also do well in the heat.

Stella is a beautiful hen -- love her color.

Thanks! I got her from LadyLibra along with a roo but I had to rehome the roo. He was going after everyone here - the kids, my husband, the dog! LOL I was upset he wasn't more friendly. I was really hoping to hatch some lavender chicks but now it's just her and "GoldenStar", my son's Orpington mix.

Candled eggs. Tossed the duds. Most were BR's. About 7-8. I am disappointed about the BR's. I've been letting them out to range, so hopefully, yearnings of spring will make the rooster more amorous.

Take care,

Rancher

I know how you feel. My main JG cock got frost burnt and has not been right since. His first lot of eggs, all fertile, 5 of 7 that made lock down hatched. This batch 0 for 20.

You do know I have lavender hens with black roos, don't you. Stella is an orp? I also have lavender amer roo over his black daughters. Mothers EE's have lavender in them. I have a Blue hen from them. I have eggs in the bator now but can't be sure what color they will be. If they hatch.

Point being you only need to come and get eggs if you've nothing to trade.

We are friends after all,

I'm going to give him some "rooster booster" and see if that helps. He's the only rooster with out frost bite. I must keep in mind that fat birds don't do well. Maybe to many donuts like me.

I think I remember you mentioning the lavenders. I had gotten the pair hoping they were both hens but then thought, well even if one was a roo, it'd be neat if she went broody and hatched some lavender chicks. I don't have an incubator to hatch chicks myself nor do I have a broody hen. But thanks for the offer! If I ever get an incubator I will keep you in mind! Right now I'm focusing on merging the two small flocks to one coop to make room for the ducks without having to buy another "structure" for my yard. Lol

Finally created a YouTube account and just want to see if this works. It's a video of Duncan, the Silkie Roo I got from Adora.
