Nope, selling them wasnt the problem at all. Last year I got white silkie eggs sent to me accidently. They were supposed to be buff. I love silkies anyway and didnt care too much. I got 4 to hatch out-big beautiful babies. we raised them all summer just to find out I had all roos! I sold 3 and kept the biggest prettiest one-he was a bully!!!! I sold him too-so No more whites-then I got more white silkie eggs ( wasnt expecting whites again) and got 1 to hatch out-it hatched out with a leg problem and I had to put it down at 4 weeks old:-( Whites just don't like me:-( Im sticking to my lavs and splits for now Just stuck 15 more split lav eggs in bator tonight~

I am fixing to put some in the bator and I am hoping that my Lav is laying. If not they will be splits, which okay too. I can't wait to see what my lovelies produce for me.

I am also putting Coronation Split Sussex in, so wish me luck on some Coronations!

Isnt that the most exciting time? to finally see your presents from all the hard work and $ is?? Thats why I can't wait until Fall-After two years I will finally have lavs that I created

Oh and for those coronations

I cannot wait to see your outcome with Lavs and coronation. Good Luck on both and to everyone hatching. I am concentrating on my Call ducks and Blue Eyed White Lionhead Rabbits right now. Another BYC member and I are working on trying to hatch shipped eggs at our 7000 ft altitude and very low humidity. Hopefully I can get a system and one of you will be ready to sell me eggs in a year or two, Ha, ha! I will be watching this thread. Thanks for giving me something to look forward too.

Elite Silkies Coronations

I put in my Coronation Splits and some Split Lav Silkie eggs. I think one egg is from my Lavender Hen.

I am sure hoping that she is back to laying. I want a couple more Lav girls.

I'll let you all know how the hatch turns out.

Good Luck Hatching everyone!!!

Good luck with both! With the Coronations you'll know in a couple of weeks which you have. Check the feathers on the lower neck.

Once I'm able to un-broody this lot hopefully I can send you some pure eggs. I've put them in a new pen with no place to set so I'm hoping they'll resume their normal schedule.

I'll have to send you pics of the chicks when they are about 2 weeks old so I can get you to show me what to look for. I hope I get a couple of pure ones. I'll let you know if I hatch out a pure Lav chick.

That way I can get you some Lav's.

 

[bacres]

Feel free to send some of those Lav chicks my way to!
