Night

Good night everyone! I wish you all happy dreams

Night

Yeah I know it is. I don't have a good chance of them surviving. Gues I'll just have to wait a bit to know if it is or not. Thanks for the help.

Anytime.

Bob and Manny. DJ wouldn't pose. They're named after my oldest son (DJ 32) and his friends from Junior High- remember that hairstyle? Nearly bald on the sides and long and slicked back on top. I think I kept the LA Looks hair gel company going back then!

Got my SFH eggs today. I will set them on the 19th. I am setting eggs by the moon this month. In the meantime they are in my basement and I turn them every time I turn the eggs in the incubator. I am going to make Ameriflowers.

Oh yeah... I remember her!


Question is.... I have 4 NN x polish eggs in the bator. Is the naked neck gene dominant? Or will I get a fully feathered chook? I have to admit, I don't think the naked part is ummmm "cute" but I have heard enough about their dog-like personality and how underrated they are that I made a snap decision to try them. (That and they are polish x- which is #1 in my dream breed list) Advice? Anything I would need to watch out for? Anyone have pics of NN x polish? Thanks!!

I thought NN were a but ugly as well until I got one to hatch, then it was cute

Hello! I am hatching cream Legbars and Birchen Marans, and Birchen x Cuckoo Marans. I got this fancy new phone, and I've been offline for so long... Not like I ever did anything before but lurk and peruse. Still! I am ready to participate! To be honest, I would look up things on this site years before I even made an account, and even after making the account I didn't say much. Always too busy! Plus I had another baby... I have 3 young kids and a husband makes 4... But I love my birds. I have a small flock of 40, 25 Cream Legbars, a mix of the 1st and 2nd import groups I believe, from Ewecrazy farms, but shipped from Texas several years ago. I have 11 Marans, 3 are English type Cuckoo, 6 are beautiful French Birchen, and 2 are solid black from crossing the Birchen and Cuckoo. I got my Birchen from Rodney Reeves, and their color is soooo beautiful. The rest of my birds are wonderful randomness, adding color and variety. And turkeys! My newest hatch should start pipping any time now... Have rolling hatches for this and next weekend in my ancient 1266 sportsman! And an early 1502 model as the hatcher, since my great uncle put an acrylic door on it. Whoo hoo! Yay!
