YO GEORGIANS! :)

Alright here's the deal. I've got a RIR pullet, a BO that is TBD, 2 BSL pullets, and 5-6 RSL pullets. Who wants to take some of these chicks off my hands and hook me up with a buff brahma pullet or some other variation of brahma pullet? ORRRRRRRRR I'll settle for a frizzled naked neck.....
I can get u some buff polish chicks if your interested.

Now that i've seen first hand how small my largest bantams eggs are i have decided to add 1 or 2 LF back into the mix. Buff Brahma, Salmon Faverolles, Easter Egger or something along those lines are really my main interest.

I will check and see in my in-laws salmon faverolles have any chicks yet
 
A few things tonight:
First off our daughter and baby are still doing good. So far not in labor which is good.

Second: I went to the feed supply in Lincoln county to get some feed and scratch. They have chicks! They have RIR, Barred Rock, BOs and what is supposed to be Araucanas. I asked him where he got them and he said Mt. Healthy. I looked on Mt Healthy site and the picture they show for Araucana/Ameraucana (like they are the same thing) looks more like and EE. They also describe them as Easter layers. I don't know if I should let him know that they don't look like Araucanas on the site.

Third: I set 33 eggs this afternoon around 2. While I was outside collecting eggs and other chicken stuff, I spoke with my neighbor that wants to get back into having chickens. I told him I had just set eggs today and he said, "this morning or this afternoon?" I told him around 2pm and he shook his head and said a few years ago an old farmer told him that eggs set in the morning will hatch out mostly pullets and eggs set in the afternoon will hatch out mostly roosters. He said he didn't believe him until he noticed the difference he had seen in the different times he set his hatches. Has anyone else heard of this before?
 
Me thinks someone has been listening to too many old wives' tales. It's kinda like people that will tell you if you did a hole and then immediately fill it back in, you will not have enough dirt to fill it back in during certain phases of the moon. It's all a bunch of hooey.
That's what I thought. I know when Flower I think it was posted about a study saying that pointy shaped eggs hatch out to be roosters and the more round shaped eggs hatch out to be pullets, two of the pointy eggs I set for the NYD hatch were roosters. Of course there could have been other roosters in the mix too seeing as most got sold at 6 weeks old.

Oh and BTW Robo what kind of tool do you use to "did" a hole?
