Well, update and picture time:

18 in the brooder.
5 of 6 Black tail buff Japanese hatched... 1 DIS. But that's awesome, considering they carry a lethal gene can kill 25%
4 of 4 Silver Duckwing OEGB's!! Yeah, they are so cute.
1 of 1 Silver Sebright hatched!! Awesome chick.
Golden Sebrights... 8 of 13 have hatched. 2 are DIS, 3 are still in the bator, but not looking great. I could still see blood vessels, and maybe some movement, so I'm giving those 3 more time.

Looking like I'm a little short of a SC parade, so I'm throwing my own parade of chick pics!

Out of curiosity can everyone tell me the cost of Groc Market eggs in your area, and what backyard eggs are costing?
Curious our market here in PA went up to well over $4.50 now, everyone wants my eggs for eating but we are eating and hatching most so I cant share LOL
I tell everyone GET YOUR OWN BACKYARD CHICKENS! DOH




This is a first year we are actually raising our own meaties CornishX not sure I am sold on it yet LOL
They eat and poo and eat and poo = stink I had to lime and add shavings today now its under control!
So much rain of late doesnt help! They are growing so fast!

arent they adorable chicks!! are they purple? what is btbj?

Don't mind sc, getting a

from him means you're accepted here, lol... your cockerel looks very handsome, btw... I do love his coloring... that's actually pretty rare, usually they are dominated with rust color... and that blue hen with the buff color overlay is gorgeous...

Thanks. The cockerel was given to me by one of my friends. He bought it some layers and had this and a surprise Welsummer rooster. Neither are SOP, but I like them for the free roosters. They were originally coming home to be dinner, but I liked them enough, I've let them hang around all my layers. Eventually I'll hatch a few of their eggs. I tried about a month ago and they were still clears, looks like he isn't hitting between the goal posts yet, but he'll get there.

Thank you! My mother's creation... she started it before she passed away. I'm finishing it.

Black tail buff Japanese

ETA I think the purple hue is just coming from the quilt

Sometimes I just ignore you on purpose........

I'm not that obedient.

But X2 - WV those chicks are adorable! Hope you get a couple more. How many do you need for the parade?

I think he could tell I was putting a picture post together...

I guess I would need 2 of the final 3 for a parade

Whew, it may have to wait until I get to the PC

I'm patient.

I'll try and get some better pictures for you to help me pick the main man. The black is fairly obvious, but the blues are a little harder. There are 4 of them, so if you take away the leak there are 3 to choose from. They all look similar, but one is a little bigger, more personable, and is showing more black in his head and hackles. He may just be an early developer, but he is beautiful. The blue isn't going to be as big a deal as picking the right black, because he is getting my BCM cull hens. If sidewing's bcm turn out as good as I think these Ams are, we are going to make a great team

And I'll volunteer for test hatches in the spring - you know, to test your shipping methods and all that.... (LOL) SIdeWing is closer, and near the same altitude so I'm sure he's wanting me to test hatch..........

I'm selling eggs for $3.50 right now. Free range, all natural eggs are about $4.00 in my area.

Me and some buddies are raising 77 Cornish X. They are a little gross compared to laying hens. But they sure dress out nice and taste delicious.
