lol So far the only dreams with cravings have been about coca cola. I quit drinking soda two weeks ago, and the cravings are worse than the nicotine. lol

Am I arse backwards or what!?

Thanks to everyone else for all the tips and well wishes!

Not to mention the caffiene headaches from stopping the stuff. Ugh!

you must unfold the wing to see, but it looks too old to wing sex, try looking at the chick's comb then.

I have 2 projects with the 3 Cornish Cockerals I have ordered, one is over white rock hens, the second is over Buckeye hens, the later should produce an outstanding meat bird as the Buckeyes are so waide & broad breasted already.
So I am going to try both.
I have been watching the batch of W&BW Chicks, now juveniles and half fledged, and I seriously think everyone is wheaten

.
That's OK, I have a monster flock of blues!

We will waite a few more weeks then get together on a trade out at Cheryl's I suppose. Will have her cook up the GF lava cake I can still see when I close my eyes !!!!!!http://bestsmileys.com/wink/2.gif

So the juvenile chicks taht I have out of our shared hatch, I am pretty sure are also all Wheatons. I don't see any blue in the wings or tails at all...

As for the hatch! I now have 1, 2nd gen Olive egger out!

Am I gonna be able to tell them all apart?

HA HA, that is why I use hatching baskets. They will look just like the Ameraucanas until 'puberty' and then the pea combs swell just a slight bit higher on the OEs, and some of the OEs will have the feathered shanks from their Marans Mother to tip you off, other than, waite til they lay!

yes, but has been rare, so far most are blue, followed by black, then a splash.

I'd be curious about telling them apart too.

Did you get OE eggs or Blue Ameraucana AND OE eggs ?
I gotta go out & work for a while, I ordered the Aunt Molly's Tomatillos, and the pineapple ones AND the purple ones....

The Aunt Molly's is from Poland...so maybe why it grows so well here...see that Illia ?
Get some seed for your garden!!!

I'll be back!
