YO GEORGIANS! :)

So happy for you ChickenDancer. I looked up RIR and they are much darker. Im not sure on her age but mine is 7mo and she is bigger. Names yeah most here are country of origin. RI my greatx8 relative was Governor Jabez Bowen. That would be nice if she is I would keep a roo from her and name him Jabez! Lol. She is lighter in coloringis that age? I have seen RIR Roos here. Guess I will ask around. Found out I got 2 more boys Vulture one of my NNs the really dark one, his neck is beet red and really looks like a vulture. Also my favorite Equinox the lovely silver and black one I have. None of my birds even the older ones have sickle feathers they curve a bit around the tail but are rounded tips at least as wide as tip of finger? And Rosie has just as red as any of mine that have coloring so far. Only 1 has emerging wattles. This game of wait and see sexing is uunnerving lol.
 
Carrollton GA newbie to birds. Been keeping other animals my whole life. Looking to start with guineas and maybe branch into some bantams in a few years. Any guinea raisers near me? Thanks.
 
Eggs startered piping about 2pm yesterday still nothing looks like it it will be a long day waiting on these chicks. I want to see something besides beaks.

And more good news today! But not with chickens. Also not about ducks, geese, or turkeys.

For thay matter, it's not even about birds!

I'm sure many of you got a kick out of the photo of two turtles breeding back in February. Well I caught one of them digging a hole with her hind legs and laying her eggs, finally!

This means my chicken eggs are about to be limited to one incubator and one hatcher, while the third incubator goes to incubating turtle eggs! Woot! And if these hatch, and I get at least one female, Mama turtle will be released back into the wild!

I'm glad I caught her laying though, and knew to check for eggs. This female was bred later than my other one, so I dug around the tank for the other girl's eggs and found them. But they were busted open by something and already dried out and the shells were starting to rot. So had I not known about these and removed them when I did, they might be destroyed too!
