I ended up with 2 of your porcelains and 1 just died in my hands .

I am crushed. It was only 1 of 3 birds in 3 years I have brought into my "home" that I did not hatch out myself..... I did all I could. Vet-RX....vitamins and TLC plus good healthy mash. He wasn't good from the start. His brother seems chipper as all get out.
Turns out I got 2 roos as well rather than 2 hens you had predicted.:<( Now I can't even keep the one. it doesn't look at all like the pullet I hatched out which isn't even 2 weeks older than this one. His comb is very distinguished.
He is missing his buddy......very sad.

No more additions for me, just eggs I hatch out myself. Lesson learned.................

I hate losing birds, whether I hatched them or not, it breaks my heart.

Yes it does hurt. I am ocd bout taking good care of all my babies........and this doesn't sit well with me. although I understand Mother nature can be cruel......she can still piss me off at times.:<(

Yes, I'm planning on going, unless something happens at the last minute - it's a five hour drive. But a friend from my poultry club is going so I'm hopping in his car. Not showing, though.

Im thinking about bugging down to Syracuse that day.. only 2 hour drive so why not? Just to look around and maybe see a few friends??

If I do go, we should do lunch.... Dinosaur BBQ??

Jeremy and I were just sitting here wondering who got our MF d'Uccle eggs and how they are doing?

So sorry to everyone who has lost babies from last weekend. It really does suck

I got the eggs!! they are in the bator now, day five!

My husband insisted he wanted those.

Lost two birds this weeks to hawks so I need babies to cheer me up.

they have very distinguished combs from the get go the roos were very read already. Id hold on to that one a bit longer.
Im so sorry your one passed

Must have been very stressful for it with all the commotion & travel

Yea, not fun at all. The one left is very Alpha.... pecking at me and not happy.....and his comb is very pink. My hen is still orange and she is much bigger & older at 7 weeks./3 days from hatch date.. Are you sure they were 6 weeks old? He is so small she could open a can of whoop ass on him in a NY minute.:<)
Or not if he "turned her on".LOL
