OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

[TheCrazyChick]

I will have Welsummers, Black Jersey Giants, BBS Cochins, Assorted Polish, and a Purebred Miscellaneous grab bag of some of the following: Ameraucana, Barred Rock, Buff Orp, Buff Rock, Lav Orp, Blue Orp, Blue Wyandotte, Blue Marans or Silver Phoenix. These will hatch between April 15-18.



The second batch will hatch around April 26th and consist of Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks, Wheaten Marans, Light Sussex and Mottled Houdan. I am in NW Ohio (Toledo area). My DH and I like road trips, so if it turns out you need some (and my hatches go well), we could figure out the where and when. I'll keep you posted via Private Message. Thanks for asking!

I would definitely love to know. We only have silkies, showgirls, and going tomorrow to pick up sizzles. Figure I may need some good eggs layers. The ones in my incubator now are rainbow layers and 3 silkies I snuck in. I just ordered some frizzled turken eggs but you can't have enough eggs when you have 4 kids who eat like adults and people always bugging me about wanting to buy eggs.

I ran into a gentleman in TSC yesterday who is waiting on a Turken order of 40 from Cackle. Got me thinking about Naked Necks. My DH would freak. He thinks they are creepy. They just look like little Turkeys to me.

I couldn't find them anywhere around me. I saw an add on Craigslist for them but never got a reply to my email. I drove 2 & 1/2 hrs to get my showgirls and silkies. Lol that was a long drive home with all the chirping and my daughter hushing them. I finally found someone on here with project eggs that are frizzled turkens. I didn't want to order 15 from the hatchery. DH doesn't know about the new eggs. I keep telling him if there is a war or zombies come we will be set between the garden and the chickens. He just thinks I'm crazy, but my kids love it taking care of them and they are very much stress reducers.

Since OEs are crosses between 2 kinds of chicks that we have I'll share what I know.


With Ameraucanas I read that longer tails indicate pullets. There is definitely a big descrepancy between our 6 in tail growth but mine are only 4 weeks so time will tell. In my older BC
Marans chicks, the comb is definitley larger and darker in the one the breeder told me was a cockeral.


Hopefully this helps some. We plan on hatching out OEs next year so I'm interested to see how sexing them pans out for you!

Interesting info. I have 7 OEs & 1Lav Amer that are due to hatch tomorrow. Just went out to check on the broody & two of the eggs were cheeping!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!

I am jealous! Lol mine that are incubator are due tomorrow also and I can't hear or see anything but one egg move every now and then. I saw a couple moving a couple of days ago but now nothing. I'm happy if one hatches because my kids were "looking" at the incubator and the temp went up to 105. I've decided to hide my incubator next time and have already ordered new eggs.

Happy hatching everyone!! So, so fun!!!

I will have to look at my chickie's tails and combs. I will probably end up keeping everyone until they crow or lay eggs just to be sure...they are so cute...
