BYC is a crusty old leghorn. AnyPaperlady is a d'uccle. You know she's there, but she doesn't make much noise

I Was thinking frizzle Cochin bantam for AmyPaper. But d'Uccle works as well.

He's a red bearded white silkie.

WV, your a duckchick.

a cross between a duck and a chicken. Quite rare, mind you

Okay... I missed something....when did we start comparing each other to chickens??? And if that's the case what am I??

I'm sorry, I forgot there were chickens on this thread. yes, you are having a big day

There are chickens on this thread. There's a silkie, then a red bearded white silkie, a duck and a chick, there's a bird with one wing on its side, then two kinds of Amys: a paperlady amy and a lynn amy, then there are some others which are harder to classify.

Here, Ross. I wasn't sure what to classify you as.

Hmong or Ayam Cemani??

At ours, at least, you can go to the wood pile and pick out pieces for free, for either woodstoves or working with (most of the replacement boards when I converted the outbuilding to a coop, and all the boards for the quarantine pen and the getting-to-know-you pen came from there). I don't know if you can take anything from any of the other areas, though.

But I'm not just any paper lady

My hair's not crazy enough to be a frizzle

That sucks.

 

[silkiecuddles]

Ah, AmyPaper lady lives!

I was thinking frizzle for you personality wise.

Wow, that was quick...lol But good for him, hopefully.

It is good for him. I texted her and she told me he sleeping underneath his new momma with his new sibling. I am happy with the decision.

Hmong or Ayam Cemani??

Well if I am going to be the token....then I will be the Ogye since it too is korean like me!!!!

So I just sold my little hatcher!!! He went to someone who bought eggs from me to put under her broody. Well only one egg hatched today and the rest of the chicks died?! I dont know why...but she wanted it to have a sibling so she purchased him to underneath her broody. So he is off to his new home!

That's great!! You get all the fun of the hatch but then don't have to pay to feed him or take care of him! Nice deal!

Ruby, if you haven't already closed the FB sale,  well... I hope you have.  You owe nothing to the other person, and I'd not even bother with any further communication.  Enjoy your hatch!

My broody came off the nest for a quick dust bath today, so I grabbed her eggs and brought them in for a quick candle.  The one that got yolked and washed was dead, but the other 6 were alive and kicking.  Day 11.

I did, Lazy! Thank you. I'm actually much happier with this breeder and her birds are to die for!!

He's a red bearded white silkie.

I like this game! What am I??

Oh Ruby, I picture you as a something fancy.... Will have to think on that. Of course, since you have silkies, I'm leaning toward them....

Day 6 update on filthy, porous, detached air cell ameraucana eggs shipped from an eBay person in Florida. I left a negative review, as much as one can do only using 80 characters.

Out of a dozen eggs there are 2 that show growth and an embryo moving. 1 has a blood ring. The rest are clear. No surprise, huh. I will remove duds on day 10. Seems like an awful waste of time. I will commence turning tomorrow day 7.

I set 30 eggs. 22 made it to lockdown. I now have 13 in the brooder, though 3 of those I'm not sure if they are ripe enough to survive- I'll know tommorrow. Going through the remaining eggs I found 2 orps were clear, and were just scrambles when I opened them. I have 1 about half zipped, 1 pipped , 1 chirping but not pipped and 4 not doing anything yet left in the incubator.
So that should have been 20 into lockdown but I couldn't see into the orps at lockdown, my torch was too flat.
So that means I have 16 of 20 developed eggs made it to living.
Hmm I think something's gone wrong with my count -
there was one that pipped and died
I'm sure I only had 22 at lockdown
I have 13 in brooder
1 half out of egg
I piped
1 cheeping
2 clears thrown today.
And 4 other eggs.
Where did the extra one come from?
