Anyone with color guesses on these silkie babies? Note: there are some chicks in the group pictures that are not silkies.

Welcome to the Texas thread!

I like it. There are issues for me tho. One of those is I work 10hr days and having to refill the water for humidity is kind of a problem. Also I like the try turning for shipped eggs over the side rolling due to air cell damage from said shipping. It has made a great dedicated hatcher for...

I just hatched dark brahma and some blue columbian brahma. They where shipped eggs and where developing on time as normal. Also set silkie with them, they where shipped eggs as well and as per usual being that they are bantams some hatched a little early. Notes: I'm running a 56ex incubator...

Bought from this guy on eBay. If this doesn't work out I'm in the Texas OEGB group on Facebook and the group there for selling. Was advised to get in touch with Thomas Tuten which I will do if the eggs don't pan out.

Oh they are hatching eggs! Dusty He was my EE project to bring this color to Ameraucana bantams and Large Fowl Ameraucana. Had him tested for the blue egg gene and everything. Devastating loss for me and thar project. Hoping to use the blue golden duckwing OEGB over silver Ameraucana bantams...

Well, I have blue golden duckwing OEGB on the way. Lost Dusty to the coon apocalypse along with a silver Phoenix rooster and seven hens. I'll post egg pictures when I get them in and try to keep updating progress.

I've had a very bad week. The spring coon population seams to be booming so much that they have resorted to turning my yard into their personal KFC. I have lost more birds in this last week to coons than I have in three years. I think it's eight total. Dispatched one coon yesterday but there...

Chicks from the 2nd eBay set. Had 20 silkie eggs from different color pens and where not labeled. Eighteen went to lockdown. Other breeds in the hatch are a few of my own pulled from inexperienced broodies, Blue columbian brahma, dark brahma and Crevecoeur. Two Crevecoeur made it to lockdown...

Oh and I won the auction on the blue golden duckwing OEGB. I'm gonna need more brooder troughs.

The incubator is so full of fluff! I had to help a Brahma out. It piped and half zipped right under the fan so when it was resting the membrane got dried out and it was stuck. Warm water and peeled some shell away and it pushed out in my hand. Going to have to move some out of the incubator...

So Zilla the angry cochin that leavs her kids for others to look after lost broody privileges. All eggs from Dustys pen are in the incubators. One hatched just hrs after I put it in the lockdown incubator! Also have like 3 silkies hatched.

Ill see about getting some of those ordered. I'll not be letting them leave the property alive anymore. They have started attacking the cats as well.

I had two live traps set last night. Caught one coon but the other ate three birds to the bones.

I placed a bid on the OEGB. Another option I have is making blue brassy back EE/Ameraucana. I can do that once I have the rosecombs going.
