Those Buffs from Power and Pownall are something speecial, aren't they? Just to let those who may not know, those are the pics I just posted of the UK Buffs. Why settle for second or even third class. Just the best. Why post UK trash like the one fellow tried to ask me to take? I rather get inline have hope to get to AI from Karen's Pownall Buffs! And that isn't a sure thing. But alot better and quicker results IF the sperm comes in unharmed.

They are just beautiful aren't they. Another site with many pics of Pownall influence is www.manorpoultry.com Are you saying that chiklled semen might be shipped to the states same as is done all over with dogs?

Yep, the lone egg hatched - it was a splash chick. He's gone to a new home with other just hatched chicks. I didn't want him to be by himself and nothing else has been fertile.

There is a post a ways back from Powers Poultry about the possibility of shipping frozen semen. Not sure what the status is on that - they were looking into it.

Raising one by itself is hard I've heard, I have 4 Ameraucanas going into lockdown this weekend, I hope at least 2 of them make it out of their eggs okay! If not the loner would probably have to go live where it could have chick friends, too.

Joy- I wish I had known you had a lone chick...I just got 2 chicks..I would have loved to add one of yours as a matey...

Sad news here. We came home from work today to find Jasper dead with his head in the water pan. My big beautiful fella is gone.

I wanna show you a comparison picture.
I use the big Rubbermaid tubs for nests in some of my coops and pens.
Can 2 big English Orp girls fit into one? See below.
Same size in the New Hampshire pen with 2 girls in the nest.
