Hi I am in Northeastern PA, Susquehanna county. Hatched out ONE blue d'anvers yesterday, but he ended up prolapsing at his umbilical area and died this AM I'm so sad!! He was so cute. I still have the incubator going, though....trying to hatch some Seramas. Does anyone have any d'anvers pairs or trios for sale? Black or blue or mottled? Hope everyone is having good luck with the October hatches...

Very sorry to hear about the loss.

Thank you Patrick I have other birds-gold laced wyandottes, LF partridge cochins, guineas, west of england geese, and just picked up two silver phoenix chicks yesterday-they were to be companions for my lone little d'anvers. I will not give up hatching, though. Some chicks just don't make it.

That's the way! Very good approach to it! I myself haven't started hatching my own and really don't know what to expect, but some really don't survive.

But I wanted to mention, in chicken keeping you only have to count the ones that lay. So actually, I have one chicken at the moment!!

We are in the process of redoing coops. So right now the growouts are all together in a divided pen in which the silkies are in half. The rest are also all together as no one is currently laying.

How I will separate them....

Cochins in a divided pen, mf on one side and sl on the other. The bantam ameraucana will live among them as I will be able to tell which eggs are theirs.

The silkies and the polish will also share a divided pen.

And the brahma, JG, orps and the LF will all live together as they will be only for layers.
