your boy Harley looks just like Leigh's 'Mace' by Gunnar and Ginger...Harley
Totally lovely, and I completely appreciate the offer, but I have two almost identical dudesI am planning to sell these two Gunnar sons. One will be like his father, mottled and mille fleur. The other one was born without a tail (just got a nub) but has beautiful colors. See pics below. Mottled, Mille Fleur Roo. This guy is going to be very robust and broad chested. IF I kept him, he would rival his older brother Harley.
Stubby has gold hackles and is blue-based.
Stubby and his hatch mate were hatched on May 26. Harley
I am willing to re-home Stubby. I am going to the Clearbrook Chickenstock tomorrow just north of Winchester, VA. If I do not sell him or find a home for him, would you be interested?
it's funny how they can have similar coloring but yet still be so different! Mace looks just like my Wasp, but without a crest. So cool! Stupid convinced Sol (my twin to Stubby, also with a sort of stumpy tail, lol) to sleep on top the coop. Fools. I don't quite trust the dogs that much yet. Grabbed them both (too dark to look at their wings) and stuffed them in the coop. I think this is because the head rooster in that coop is starting to be tired of them annoying him, and they are both completely cowed by him (mottled blue bantam cochin). I was designing coops in my head on the way to work. Or these meat birds need to hurry up and finish, and I could move SFH into their coop. I have a broody sitting on 6 eggs and 8 in the bator as well I keep forgetting about. Hopefully we get a few more chicks, although I am not holding my breath on the bator eggs, and I hope to start seeing fertile eggs from my older girls here very soon. I am thinking of getting a Brinsea for my birthday, even though I swear I'm not celebrating it this year for a variety of reasons. But it would be a nice gift to myself for getting through what has honestly been a pretty crummy year overall. If you have one and successfully hatch SFH in it, which one do you have? I was thinking about the Eco 20 with the auto turner. I do just fine with the styrofoam bators and local eggs, but maybe it would help with shipped eggs.
I have 2 of the Octo 20 Advance EX - the fully automated one with the humidity pump and auto-turner. The new one even has a cool down option, though I haven't used it yet. I LOVE them.

I LOVE them.I have great hatches in them, even on most of my shipped eggs. With the humidity pumps, I can keep the vent all the way open for fresh air during lockdown and hatching and still keep the humidity up. I think it helps a lot. Is it pricey? Yes, but not as pricey as buying lot after lot of hatching eggs that don't hatch. My only real complaint is with the auto-turner. The clutch link (I think that is the part) is not strong enough and keeps breaking. I have to be very careful removing the lid if I want to candle while it is in the turner.
