It's not too bad, actually...quite a bit of ice this morning. It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't spend all my day driving.

Ever seen the movie My Fair Lady? "Just you wait, Henry Higgins, just you wait!". Let me know how that quiche tastes.

Oh, and you need to know this...when the silkies hatch...1/2 will likely hatch out as showgirls!

OMG, there's only one thing worse than a silkie, and that's a Showgirl!

Hey fellow hatchers.... In your own words describe what a seeping egg looks like? I have read all about them in other threads. The bator does not gave an unusual yucky odor. Pictue a drop of salt water that evaporates and leaves a little crusty blob. That is what one egg has on it. Was not going to candle until Wednesday night. May have to do it tonight to see what is going on. Thoughts?

I've had some do the 1 or 2 drop thing on top without any issues. It's the ones tha do it on bottom and stick the egg fast to the turner that could cause a problem. You can pull an egg apart trying to get them loose. Reach in and make sure its not sticking to the turner. As long as the blob doesn't get bigger, I wouldn't get excited.

I believe Dan has both golden laced and buff laced in this particular pen I recieved my eggs from. Luckily enough, the two chicks I hatched were both homozygous for dominant white. I really need to ask him what the heterozygotes look like as adults, but I figure I'll know soon enough when I cross them with the Golden laced Cochins. If you look on the Greenfire site they have a pretty picture of the three laced varieties of Brahmas in one pic. I believe Big M is working on Blue laced Reds also.


My White crested black polish crossed himself with a Buff Laced Polish. The chicks came out off-white with black specks and spots. As their feathers grew in, the girls remained that color, and the boys grew in dark buff lacing.

Do the polish people cross the gold and buff laced?

These were the two that hatched

I was told not to cross BL with anything because you would end up with weird colors. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try sometime and see what we end up with.

I am excited about BigM's BLRB's! They are going to be gorgeous.

The chicks are very cute, Dak. You can see the lacing already on the one on the left. How old are they?

I don't know what happened to the reply here but it's not here. So, my wcbp decided to cross himself with my blp, and the offspring was off-white with black specks/spots. The girls stayed that color, and the boys at a few months old started to get some dark buff lacing.
