***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[MacGuyver]

Well darn it got home from the Oklahoma History Museum and one of Nathanael's columbian pullets was dead. This morning she was kind of puffed up so we moved her and her 2 pen mates to quarentine and gave them some redcell in their water. She was acting fine otherwise. But was dead when we got home. Will keep the other two away from the other birds for the next few weeks just to make sure it wasn't anything they might also get. If they get sick it seems there isn't much you can do for them. We haven't had any others acting odd so maybe the quick change of weather was to much for her I don't know.

Oh man. That stinks.

Ack. Just saw this now. It's rather late, but I hope it was easy to tell them apart. The Dominique eggs and the bantam Cochin eggs are very different in size, so it should be obvious which is which. Of the Cochins, the lighter colored ones are out of my blue hen, and the darker ones are out of my buff. Dominque eggs are all over the place as far as color goes. Shouldn't matter what trays they go in. They won't be the same color at all.

That is okay I got them set last night. I marked your cochin eggs and Dominque eggs so when they move to hatch I will put them in their own trays. I don't like the little guys hatching in the same tray as the big ones I worry they will get trompled,lol. Kurt set a few silkie eggs as well. Hopefully in 3 weeks there are lots of babies hatching out of those eggs.

Well got up this morning thinking we "might" get a few more guineas to hatch out of the eggs we stole from the mommas. I was wrong! We had 7 more in their chirping up a storm! So now I have 15 hatched, 2 more making progress and 4 more eggs that are pipped and I hear noises coming from them but who knows. My luck they will all hatch, haha. But we will not be raising this batch they will all be sold I think having 4 dozen running free and one dozen saved back for breeding next year in the pen and 6 more in grow out pens is plenty for me! I love my guineas but lately they are fighting with the free ranging roosters and making me nuts. I will be glad when dh gets time to process all the roosters running loose!

What size are her girls? I've got bantam Ameraucana (will stay little) and Araucana which are normal sized (or will be-they're only 3 1/2 mo now).
Some of my hatchery Silkies had 4 toes on 1 of their feet. I think it's just something that happens.

Her girls are Average size/ normal girls. I forget what breed they are, but I think she only has 3-4 of them.
