I don't suppose you took a picture of the Partridge Chanteclers did you? I've got some cooking right now.

Got the chicks in about 1 PM, they are in the brooder but making an awful racket, I changed to a bigger bulb in case they are cold, no change. I gave them grogel and water, normally I would withhold food until they had time to eat all the grogel and assimilate it, but these little ones were HUNGRY !!! Once I scattered starter around they got quiet and busy eating.

I'm very happy with the mix of chicks. Some chanteclers, including 2 partridge ones that are the most adorable chocolate brown striped chicks. A lot of silver Ameraucanas, a color I really want to work with because the hens are beautifully patterned (like a welsummer, but silver instead of gold.). And they sex out early, not that I'm culling any of these males, I may free range some on the farm to contribute their good looks to the farm flock. Also a lot of blacks and a few lavenders.

My brother has said he'll take some and I'll keep some and eat some. Same with the Dominiques I've got going as well, although some of them might get sold.

Those partridge birds are really neat looking. They should be good as dual purpose chickens. I just heard they are flighty and not lay very well, so not good pets.
 
Hello everyone!! It's that time of year again. I donate eggs to my friends classroom for her students to hatch. When we started we just had white eggs but over the years we started doing different colors and some of the more interesting looking breeds. I have blue, green, light brown and white eggs. I would love some silkies, any type of frizzle, serama, polish or any other interesting color you may have. I of course will pay for shipping or if you want to swap I can send you some fertile eggs from my flock. In the past after the class was done raising them I put them up for sale and all the proceeds goes back to the classroom for a special treat. Some of you have helped me in the past and I really appreciate it. These kids live in a lower income district. Most, if not all of them, thought all eggs and chickens looked the same. Since we have been doing it this way my friend said the kids ask so many more questions. So many that texting me wasn't enough. I had to go in and answer questions. I love doing this and I hope someone can help me get an awesome variety for them. My friend is thinking of starting the 2nd or 3rd week in April. I'll know for sure when it gets closer. Thank you!

Where are you located? We can probably find someone close by with extra fertile eggs for a good cause.

The kids will love seeing silkies. They are so different. I don't have any silkie eggs to help you with.

wish I could help. I recently purchased six silkies from TSC. But they won't be ready to lay for some time. What a great fun and educational treat for those littles.
