Here it is with the other hatching eggs.

Here it is with dark eggs for contrast.

I am very pleased with the size, it could be a bit whiter, though.

Congrats!!!!!

X2!

Quote: My DH said to let you know...he likes the Kubota better because the implements are easier to take off and put on. He also said the mowing deck is much easier to take off and put on, then the Mahindra. He looked at several makes.

Congrats Wisher! That's great!

Yes, they are pretty!


These are not mine, I copied it from the Campine thread (posted there by lawatt.) I just wanted to show them off! I have a cock and three hens from D. Urch and a half SC half white EE that I am tring to use to get a better back (just an experiment.) They are really rare and a true passion of mine. I hope to raise a nice size flock from these this year, and cull hard next year. I am also getting some more from the only other two sources I could locate with more than a couple of birds. One breeder is in California and the other is in Texas. Neither of those specialize in Silver Campines, both just have some for use in their Golden Campine lines. The goldens are much more common although you don't see them much in shows. It is interesting that if you cross the Silvers and the Golds, you get either, not a blend.

They are just beautiful Wisher!

Smelled them, haven't seen them. Only smell one once in a while. Ooooh, that would be bad.

I'm asking because I've been there. Many times. Set a trap out and... come out to find that. You need a skunkplan.

OOOHHH, AAAHHH.

No really, it glows. It's beautiful. Congrats.

There is a cousin called a Westphalian Deathlayer (cool name, huh?) that has a rose comb, but there are none of those in the US.

I need these. The possibilities are endless. What are you having for breakfast? Death.

Along with some La Fleche.

I saw the name of that breed and thought of you

 

[superchemicalgirl]

I'm already scheming about how to get these eggs back to the US to hatch.

Oh and in case anyone is following my weather saga... this is tonight's joy:

* HAZARD TYPES... SNOW... SLEET... AND FREEZING RAIN.
* ACCUMULATIONS... SNOW ACCUMULATION OF UP TO 2 INCHES... ALONG WITH UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE.

SCG I have an aunt in NH and I have felt so bad for both of you. She usually gets the storms about 3-6 hours ahead of you although the amount of snow the two of you get can vary quite a bit. Right now she has about 4' accumulated on her deck. She is mostly worried about her roof though. You guys up in NE really need a break from all the storms.
