I forgot about the spangled again... there are 2 pair of Spangled that will show very well too.

this is getting tough, I keep forgetting how many birds I have here and the list just seems to grow.

I wrote it on my sheet! You are a very good enabler.

Faery, here's an article about diseases that can be passed into the egg and make the chicks sick later or early on.
What's really scary is they can look perfectly healthy yet be carries and get *other birds sick way later on down the road.
Carl, the Golden Sebrights are truly beautiful.

I've got a funny/unique OEGB Crele story for ya...


Our little Crele hen went broody here a while back, after sitting on her own egg clutch, other hens started to lay in her nest when she would go eat, poor thing barely covered her own eggs...well after three of her own eggs hatched, she stopped sitting on the nest. One of the chicks died with in hours so we took her remaining chicks from her...put them in the brooder and went ahead and placed all the remaining eggs in a 'bator to see what would happen.

So far we have 12 new chicks...one hatches about every other day!

They are the only chicks in the brooder right now and its funny to see the size comparison between the chicks. Another one was waiting for us in the bator this morning with only two eggs left.
