What a jerkball. Ughh!!!

Tagging @Amazons ❤️ Dominiques are a beautiful heritage breed with peacombs and gorgeous feathers! The Dominique Club has lots of historical info too, especially about how the things that make the breed distinctive from the BRs, mainly I think the type of barring, were almost bred out! But...

Ah! How lovely! I was talking to a local person with blue coppers and then I haven't heard back since I asked when the next hatch would be. I luckily found an amazing breeder local to me of another breed I have always wanted though, so I may go that route. Local can be better when you're...

Where did you get the Blue Copper Marans eggs from?

You're the best! ❤️❤️❤️

Aww, Fleur was one of my Welsummers the fox took last year. Now someone has to name another chick Petunia as well, okay? Please and tku. ❤️❤️❤️

I shut off the incubator today. :( I knew it was a longshot, but I suspect that since the girls were not Quite mature enough yet to be laying when he was taken, that maybe makes it impossible. Perhaps if they had already come to maturity ...and then I had eggs from up to two weeks later, there...

Can I join in? It might only be temporary, but anyway I set our first six Welsh Harlequin ducks eggs today(!) Just before noon, eastern time. Lol Sadly, we lost our drake on January 5, and our ducks hadn't started laying yet. But sure enough, exactly two weeks later, we started getting eggs...
