I am so sorry to hear this!And of course a few days after boasting perfection, our Alpha died! Have no words...very sad, tremendous loss. So now the flock configuration is changing, and yes will be adding new leghorns SIGH. Need to bring some joy back
UPDATE ON MY UPDATE: I went to pick up my 12 novagen eggs which ended up being 14 because Jenks is awesome. Then on an impulse wondered if they had any “extra” dominant coppers (Copper
Genetics. I THINK …. The lavender is a recessive trait and its possible to get lavender or black or white. Something like that. The video explains it.17 total ended up hatching, and I just sold 4. Im gonna keep the remaining 13 and maybe sell some more in a few months. Out of 9 Serama eggs, 7 hatched so that is pretty good. One of the Serama chicks is white with a brown back so im very curious about what it will turn into. Only one Wheaten Marans has hatched and I think it is the only one that will hatch there is nothing in the other Marans eggs. So far there is also an easter egger, an olive egger, and 3 Ameracanas. But here is the weird thing, 2 of the Ameraucanas are grey and one is darker so I'm pretty sure its a lavender and a blue, but another Ameraucana hatched this morning and it is Black! In my breeding flock I only have lavender and splash Ameraucanas so I should only be getting lavender and blue chicks. Anyone know how I got a black one? I had a blue easter egger in with them too so maybe that could be the mother?
Sad it's not working for you but kudos to the feed store for preempting the greedy customers who clean out the bins and leave nothing for everyone else only to turn around and try to sell them for $10 each. My feed stores are limiting how many you can buy at a time as wellbad news
I am not going to be getting chicks from that feed store, I just found out from my sister (who is friends with one of the employees) that you can only get 4 chicks at a time, and I probably wouldn’t even get any if I didn’t stand in the line for an hour or longer.
I guess that’s kind of a good policy, especially since I saw one of y’all post about somebody buying all the chicks before you could get any… but still, it makes me sad cause I’ve been looking so forward to it.
I guess I am going to be ordering, so I came to ask y’all for hatchery recommendations??? I am wanting salmon faverolles, anybody got experience with ordering those?
Oh how sweet!
That makes sense!
I love them!Chicken math got to me, so we eneded up with 2 Cream Legbars, 2 Silver Leghorns, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Delaware, 1 RR and 1 BSL
Then add the 5 quail I hatched out, the magic lone turkey and the duck. It's been an eventful month
