Donna I am so pleased with the Sapphire, Tizzy. She has given me an egg almost every day now. I may have to change over to mostly Sapphires and SBELs . I love the every day egg. The Wyandotte Bantam roo is totally bessotted with her but he can't figure out how to line things up to breed her proper. I have put her with the Olive Eggers to his dismay.

I have 2 pullets in my layer pen and since they are such good layers I gave 2 others away LOL. They were blind (mostly) so I just didn't need them for eggs. Then I added an older WL hen and I think there might be 2 more but one is going to a breeding pen soon I think. They give me more eggs a day than I can eat LOL. I can't eat fertile eggs but everyone else in the family is ok with them so I am the only one that needs SPECIAL eggs LOL.

I have an order of the Sapphires and CCL's eggs going to Bonnies Thursday. Then I have another order shipping Monday too. I only have 3 girls making those so I don't get a ton but they are VERY popular. Did you still want some SPW eggs for the hatch along? They are laying ok right now. I have a couple of pullets that are not laying yet.

He is fine.
We were watching.

He is not ready for ladies yet.
They squatted for him. He hid in the corner.
They bit him. He hid in a nest box. He needs a couple months imho.

Take some bacon and roll it up and tie it and strung it up in the pen. They will focus more on it than him.

I don't think that'll work... not with bama jumping up and down competing for the bacon...

Yeah I'd like to but DH says no right now. I am going to hatch out some quail for some people who want some. He is not even happy about that. He is sure that I will get stuck with baby birds that I don't have a place for. He acts like I don't have waterers (I do, quail ones), or feeders (I do) or 2 plastic tubs and a large wooden shipping box and enough hardware wire to make lids and two heat lamps ( I do need one more bulb).

If anyone is looking for some nice golden sex links for an egg laying flock I will be selling 6 of these lovely ladies. Also they have been free ranging with 3 Bielefelder Roosters so I'm sure the first two weeks you will have fertile eggs should you want to incubate them. Chicks should be similar to redbar / rhodebars. These are very good egg layers and they are close to a year old. Hatched for a 4-h program last spring.

I don't think we were doing much better lately!

Hopefully, we're done with that weird weather, so come on down!

Thx Ravyn it's on my list. Today we are building new breeding coops.
