So cute! I have always been interested in the frizzles.

ya I love frizzles, but that might be a bit of a problem, since i think technically if you breed frizzle x frizzle you can get a "frazzle" and they have issues with their feathers being too brittle. 3 of my 5 roosters are frizzles so there is a decent chance some of the eggs are frizzle x frizzle, I am kind of using this as a test to see how that turns out... some people probably think that is not a good idea, but if it looks like they are having serious feather issues it isn't like they aren't chickens that I can pluck and eat. lol she is my only frizzle female and her eggs are about half the size of all my other chickens eggs so I can easily just separate them out and not hatch any more of them if any issues arise.

I have Frizzle and Sizzle hens in my Silkie pen so I should get some in my 19 Silkie eggs set. I can't wait to see what I get.

Actually….a few days late

(Set date for turkeys was Apr 7th and chickens Apr 14.) But that's okay! I didn't set anything exactly on those dates either. I have turkeys due in 5 days and another batch due May 9th.

Congratulations! Midget White or Royal Palm or ???

My first box of quail eggs have arrived. I'll have to open it and see how well they made the trip.

Quote: They look great, these are the button quail. I did bust one with my finger, more than enough eggs anyways though.
