Are you looking to sell some? Would be interested, raised 2 Anaconas, but lost them to a fungus the day after Thanksgiving. On a wait list for more eggs to hatch

Have you ever seen geese flying south in the fall and noticed that they almost always fly in a V pattern. Have you also noticed that one side of the V is usually longer than the other and wondered why? The scientific explanation is that there are more geese on that side.

I hope to have baby ducks on Valentines Day.

They are a test batch, so we will see.
Testing:

Fertility

Incubator

Humidity
I plopped some Gold Trout Runner eggs and a bunch of Rainbow Runner eggs into the incubator.

I usually place an ad on Craigs List but if you want some I will post here first.
I am still waiting for the Blue Trout runners to lay. They are the adults I bought from the Holderreads.
The Goldens I bought as babies last summer from the Holderreads as well.

Who else cought Hatchititus???

Last show was a 2 day event, and there is no way I can afford a stay in a motel.........so, I did not go.
Before that, WFF shows were a one day event....with coop in before 8 AM and judging beginning at 9 am...coop out usually around 4-5 PM
There is no way we can afford a 2 day motel stay for a chicken show.
WFF have just eliminated almost all competitors by making the shows a 2 day event, something the wealthier of us can only afford.
Not to mention that we are (most of us) serious "farmers" and have animals & birds at home that need tending to...and who to do it while we are messing around for 2 days & 1 night at a poultry show ?
It is just not something we can do.....................so
If this show is a 2 day show like the last show was, I will not be competing again.

WOuld anyone be able to ship French Cuckoo Maran eggs to Spokane WA? maybe in the next few months? Gold or Silver doesn't matter, I just want barred, feather legged pullets to make OEs with.

The best OEs come from Black Copper Marans, as they have the darkest brown eggs.

I used Blue Copper marans and Blue Ameraucanas to make my OEs, and the chicks hatched are all blue & splash...a beautiful bonus !

Since the Cuckoo Marans egg is between a light brown and a dark brown, your OE would more than likely be an Easter egger...a light brown layer and a blue layer make an easter egger.

A dark brown layer and blue layer make an Olive Egger.
If you want french Silver Cuckoos, I have them & can ship to you in a month or so.
I really do advise using a BCM, though.
