So here's my update for today 4/27/10 (Nat, can you update me?)
GLW hatch complete. 4/17 made it to lockdown. 2 hatched.
BLRW(2) hatch complete.
9/28 made it to lockdown 7 hatched.
Polish silkie mixes 8/10 going strong due 31st April
BLRW(3) 3/8 developing due May 11th
BLRW(4) about one third of 16 developing (did not count) due May 11th
30+ MFD from banty rooster (not yet candled) due may 13th
Double yoker and friends 1/12 developing due may 14th
This was for work.
Still to come over the next 4 weeks:
Some more BLRW, Tonys split orps, and some pretty (hatchery stock) barnevenders and EE's for a friend.
Then I am done hatching chooks (unless there is something unmissable ). Your auctions will be moderately safe.
I had a 2 people come at the weekend and between them bought ALL the chicks and the pullets I had for sale
. They would have taken double the amount if I had had them, as they got a GREAT deal. Sad and at the same time a huge relief to see them go. I kept a few fav pullets and 11 chicks: Hoppys BLRW, 3 MF cochin and a recovering chick that is in the intensive care unit. It is a runt maran that got picked on by silkies and an evil tiny porcelain D'uccle!!!
It is almost certainly a boy so won't be able to keep him but it is good for now.
