I'm at 275 if you count the babies, in several different breeds, but mainly Cubalaya. I still have 6 broodies on eggs and a batch in the incubator, due to hatch next week. One hen is brooding eggs from these two. We are really looking forward to see how the chicks turn out.
Lavender Americauna rooster...

...and blue Americauna hen.


Green Dragon small animal auction is every Friday evening. The auction starts at 6:30 and goes until the animals are sold which could vary from 10pm to 4am, depending on the number of animals received.
The special auctions are on Saturday, once in the spring and once in the fall.
 
@KlingKlan I think it was you who helped me with the gentics question I had, but out of the 3 eggs that hatched, all chicks are mottled. They're starting to get their first little feathers on their wing tips and they're white and black on all of them. :) So my hen does carry the mottled gene!
 
Not sure who said what, I just read 6 pages.
To the person in litiz looking for eggs, I work in lititz, right up the road from the airport, I can run transport if needed.

My Muscovy eggs often hatch all over the scale from about 31 days to 37, always thought it was just my incubator, I also hatch them at 55% humidity most of the time, they tend to catch me off guard,

Stake, I only wish I could cook like that, I was to busy being the tomboy growing up, never thought learning how to cook would be important...but I do have lots of scars to prove that I had fun.

Don't count your chickens... until they hatch!

Fisherlady, I don't think it was really the chickens that dug the hole. I just wasn't gonna argue.
Wing, tell me how the Beltsville turn out. I need to research them, midget whites, and ... Whatever the other small white turkey is. Internet is messed up. Just getting the site to open takes 20 minutes or so on any of my three devices.

I was wondering if you ever figured out where your husband got the Beltsville eggs from? Also where did you get your buckeyes from I haven't been able to find anyone close and I would like to get some, I am a born and raised Buckeye, so o thought it would be neat to have some and I have heard nothing but good things about them. They would probably be what we keep as meat birds.

wing, if Jen in Lititz wants the SFH eggs from CC, that would be perfect. No one would have to travel much out of their way. We should have a name for this, the "poultry express" or something. 5 weeks ago, blarney carried eggs from you to me and those are the Muscovies that are hatching now.

Jen is also the person that hatched and raised the Lavender Ameracauna roo that troyer just posted a picture of a few posts back. That roo and his brothers were her kids and broody hen's "project" last year. I helped move that roo from her place to his.
