My 'breeds' for next spring (I hope) are d'uccles in mille fleur, porcelain, and black and blue mottled; OEGB in bbs, white, and red quill; Dutch in blue; japanese BTW; silkies in white and buff; mottled bantam cochins; and golden lakenvelder LF. I think that's it, unless I can find some blue-breasted red phoenix hens to go with my roo

Oh, and of course the guineas (buff dundotte, pearl and pied pearl, and lavender) and the ducks (pekin, rouen, and cayuga). And of course I have button and coturnix quail, oh yeah, and some geese

Ya think I have too many?

Oh!! Eggs in the bator! I forgot about those! I have welsummers and BC Marans from bargain, so hopefully I'll have those too! But there are only 3 BCMs, so I won't have much of that. But I'm wanting to have olive eggers anyway, so maybe I'll hatch 3 girls??

You know, the funny thing about them is that I was on bargain's list for this past spring. No one knew who she was, and then I really couldn't justify spending $60+ on 12 eggs, so I backed out. Let me tell you, these eggs are GORGEOUS!! I've had BCMs once before and they were not this dark! Absolutely beautiful! If these hatch well I might get some more from her, next spring of course

I really, really want to stop hatching for a while. I have about 50 chicks in the bedroom, another 20 or so on the porch, and a bator completely full of eggs, with more on the way. I need a break!

ETA again: Millies are so cute, aren't they? And they have the personalities to match. They are just the sweetest little birds! We have one we call 'girlfriend'. My little roo would 'fight' my 4-year-old sometimes because the hen would follow my son around the yard while he was uncovering bugs and worms for her. I guess the roo thought he had some competition!

The EE egg I got from this swap where very very green. I would call them olive. They look nothing like the blue/green EE eggs I sell.
