Evening everyone!

Another so so day. Planted some flowers around my pens. Did some outdoor burning. Took a nap, checked the mail...no eggs again!
Probably will have a cold turkey sandwich for dinner!

So sorry Sean.

So sorry Sean.

Thanks Cap....they will probably already be 14 days old by the time they finally get here! I had them shipped in two seperate boxes, a couple of days apart, thinking that the chances of getting fertile eggs in 1 of the boxes would be better.
I've done that before with good results, especially if it was for pre-sale eggs.

I'm sorry Sean, what a disappointment.

Yep, considering how hard it is to even find them. I've got 9 birds, related...I was hoping to get some new blood.

Just beautiful!

Mine have the buff color breast and flank feathers. The ones I ordered were from birds with white crest, breast and flanks...they are considered the real Silver Goldens. That having been said, theres 2 different color variants that are being bred. Every once in a while, I'll get one that is all white, so I know I have at least one bird carrying the white gene.

They sure are beautiful. Will you try and set the eggs if they arrive in the next few days (after the weekend)? Or do you think it wouldn't be worth even trying? It must be very frustrating.
