Utah!

Are any of you Logan area folks going to be showing your chickens in the fair this year? I would like to, but I haven't ever shown anything but goats. How do the shows work? and how do I register?
 
Have fun Lisa! Be responsible!

I went in to talk to the kids in the class who are watching my latest batch of chicks hatch. They were so cute. After they went to lunch, I candled. I was a little worried because the "low temp" warning was flashing. That means that at some point over the past 5 days, temps dropped below 95. But, when I candled, I saw 7/7 healthy babies wriggling around at 5 days in. Yay!

Congratulations!!! That's a pretty good hatch rate!!! Awesome!

AKA QCU Poultry.

Lisa, I have some pullets out of my golden cuckoo marans project pen that I can let go. I'm only keeping the ones that hatched out brown. There might be a couple extra olive egger pullets in addition to the ones you want as well but I have to be careful to not sell out of those because I'll need some to complete pullet orders later in the season when I have the other requested breeds available. Hopefully there are more girls among the younger babies I have yet to decide male/female.

Sasha, I'm sorry you had such a lousy hatch. That really bites.

Red, when I finish with my school hatches, I want to try hatching some of your icelandics. I suspect your problems are incubator related. Since I have a great track history with mine, it'd be a great experiment. I'd give any hatched chicks back to you because I need more chicks like I need a hole in the head.

This time around, I am hatching 5 pure legbars, a legbar/OE mix, and a FBCM.
 
Sundance, I am feeling pretty certain that two of the chicks that I hatched from you are boys. The one chick is super frizzled and feathering in really quickly. The other two don't seem to be frizzled and are feathering pretty slowly. I guess there is a chance of curly feathers as they get some, but right now, what they do have, seems pretty flat. I know you said you wanted a boy from those eggs, so it seems pretty likely if you still do.

I seem to be getting a lot of boys this year. My dad is excited about it. He keeps asking which ones we will be able to process. Henry tasted that good, and he was a year-old rooster. I am feeling fairly certain that the SBEL's are both boys too, although there is a chance of a girl with them. It is hard to tell. One has a three row peacomb and the other seems to have a large single comb. I will have to wait and see with them. They are super curious and flighty.
 
Heads up! Chicks on sale! Only at your Montgomery magazine!



Better get them fast as these prices!
