I get them from time to time, pink beaks (or light colored ones), no hat, I just keep the best of the best and sell the rest. I've also got a satin pen, and one satin hen that's a free ranger. She has her choice of 2 roos, also free rangers. Well, someone came to get satin hens last year and I couldn't let her go because she had a swollen belly.. I figured organ failure was in progress, so I kept her here to live out her days... then at 3 years old, she went broody. I couldn't leave her eggs in with her because they were so thin shelled.. I gave her a few eggs from the satin pen (the last of General Lee's kids)... she hatched 2 out of 4 and became a momma for the first time. Well when she did start laying again, her shells were near normal, so I collected 4 and stuck them in the incubator... meanwhile she's sitting again on a pile of guinea eggs.. (I let her since the guineas are horrible mothers after the first few days) So, here's her first babies after a 3 year wait. Lonesome Dove, Pretty Boy Floyd, and the first two to hatch of 4 eggs..
Hey, anyone still here?
