YO GEORGIANS! :)

So, today's plan to solve problems is working out ok so far. I have taken down as much of a family history as a very nice nursing home resident could remember; I found out what the heck is going on with application for certification (it is FINALLY mailed -yay!), and I went to agility practice and ran two dogs with no injuries to any of us. (I'm so tired already...) Woohoo!

NOW....I need to go get shavings and hay and two replacement rabbit feeders at TSC. Hopefully without bringing back chicks ;). Anybody know what breeds the McDonough store will have first and if they've gotten them in yet?

So here's my FULL order with McMurray Hatchery, to show what I forgot to get (asterisk will show forgotten roos):

LARGE FOWL:
Blue Cochins (2 pullets, will be bred with silver laced)
Silver Laced Cochins (3 straight run)
*Barred Rock (2 pullets)
*Cuckoo Marans (3 pullets)
*Silver Laced Wyandotte (3 pullets)
Silver Laced Polish (3 pullets, already have a gold-laced roo)
Phoenix (2 pullets, already have a silver roo)
Buff Laced Polish (3 pullets, also will be with gold-laced roo)

BANTAMS:
Blue Cochin (5 straight run)
Silver Sebright (5 straight run)
White Frizzle Cochin (5 straight run)
Blue Silkie (5 straight run)


I already have white and black silkies to go with the blue ones. And I have black and multi-colored frizzle cochin to go with the white. Blue cochin will be added with the frizzle, so that all cochin colors will have frizzle possibilities. SERIOUSLY considering a mottled or barred cochin bantam to make frizzles in those colors, too...

Also later on I am expecting the wheaten/blue wheaten purebred ameraucanas from a breeder here on BYC. Plus goose eggs, and in mid-march I'll order peafowl eggs in standard India Blue as well.

So in short I'm expecting to have a total of 12 breeding pens for the purebred chickens, one for geese, and the peafowl will probably be 100% free-ranged. So NEXT YEAR, if you want any of these breeds, let me know. I'm also probably going to have one breeding pen for crossing different breeds (such as Ameraucana to Marans for the true olive eggers).

There. So if you have an extra male barred rock, maran, or wyandotte, I'll probably be willing to take him off of your hands! LOL!

I will be watching your new Ameraucanas and Sebrights with an eye toward next Spring.

LF. I'm sticking to just silkies for bantams. May swipe some sebrights though. Lol

The main reason I wanted to get LF cochins, is for their sitting habits. MUCH easier to stuff a full dozen hatching eggs under a LF cochin, than any bantam - including silkies!
