I have the same problem right now! I have 28 hens and am getting 1 decent BCM egg!! I was planning on bringing hatching eggs to sell to 4Hers and other BCM fanciers at our Fall Swap next weekend and now..... it's just not going to happen. I'll have a dozen IF I'm lucky!

Hi All! It's been quite a long time since I've been on but I just wanted to post a few pictures of one of my newer BCM boys. I need to get a good profile picture as the one I have makes him look like he has a short back with a high tail set but he doesn't. He still has a few feathers with a...

Quote: I'm no expert but their tailset doesn't look to standard. Looks like japanese or old english game tail. I personally wouldn't sell them as bantam BCMs until you have them to SOP otherwise you could start a breeding nightmare. JMO though.

Quote: Funny, the people over on the Wellie Forum are leaning towards them being Wellie Eggs - due to the Terra Cotta tone and lack of glossiness/sheen. Time will tell... Thanks, Steve Steve, I have two gals that lay a very dark egg; in fact, probably would be my 3rd & 4th darkes layers in...

Quote: I can hear the song in my head.... I like big butts and I cannot lie..... etc... (ya your not alone with that mantra).... Totally like the low-ridin' wide totin' fluffy 'junk in the trunk' booties.... Math... we need to have a thread for showing the "full monty" from behind... Show...

Oh speaking of beautiful boys! Pink I was wondering if you need a Splash cockerel. I'm guessing not but since I got him from you I thought I'd offer first refusal. He's going to be GORGEOUS! I just have too many boys and if someone wants him I'd rather him not go to freezer camp as he's SO...

Quote: That scarab/beetle green is If you could get one of those boys to SOP you'd be bringin home the bacon!

Quote: I'm obviously no expert but that first boy is on his color! And Holy leg feathering batman! on that second boy!

Speaking of combs! I'll have to take a picture and post of a cockerel I hatched out from Geebs. I call him Jaws because his comb was HUGE by three or four days. He looks like a shark compared to the others. He's the little stinker who's been crowing since 2-3weeks old!

Quote: Congrats on being pregnant. It's pretty wonderful!!!! And can't wait to see Sherman!!

Quote: that's such a bummer. Im using an LG for lockdown and I have to babysit the bloody thing. Can't wait to replace it!

Quote: I'm so sorry! That's seriously awful! I have a boy from that kind of stock that I might be able to spare. He's a little darker than I'd like him to be but he's from dark eggs and from a local who's very serious about his breeding. I can go and take a few pictures later. Might be able...

Quote: YES! That was my problem. On day 20 of my last Marans hatch, ALL 8 eggs were rocking hard. On day 23 all had died in the shell, except for the 2 that hatched...both roos! The high humidity seems to drown them in the shell with the excess water that builds up inside the shell membrane...

Quote: It's quite funny because all the boys in the yard have started trying and man it sounds downright painful for some of them. he actually likes the adults. He just couldnt believe they were trying to crow already when the others have only just started now after almost five months!

Quote: My boys started crowing at about 5 and half weeks. My girls started pinking up at 13 weeks as well. They are 15 weeks old now - HUGE - and the boys are mounting my older hens. Did I mention - HUGE? The pullets are hanging with the boys but still scream bloody murder if the boys try to...

I'm actually starting a 10 gallon fish tank of guppies specifically for the chickens. Someone recommended one guppy per bird per day. If it stayed warm in the winter I'd just stock our pond but I doubt they'd survive the freezes.

Quote: Will you bring cake???????????????????? p.s........cheesecake......no cherries Cheesecake is my specialty. Have a friend who's mother was from Poughkeepsie, NY and he will only eat my cheesecake cause it's true NY style.

Quote: They are purty if you ever want to save turning that bator on Kim just give me a call and I'll come up there and get em from you. I can hatch them out for a commission of chicks and I think my two gals from you are going to start laying in the next few weeks. Can't wait to show you...

Does he look overmelanized? Allistair that is!

FINALLY got a few more pictures First is Gigantor's cousin Allistair Then the little splash Marilyn from Pink I've been trying to get photos of. She's super sweet but as soon as the camera comes out she's
