It is a very common practice to add chicks to generate heat when the order is under a certain number. If they are Bantams, since the hatcheries does not sex the tiny breeds, you have a bit of chance that some might be pullets. If they are Large Fowl, then as they have indicated all will be...
Jeremy, when are your chicks due? I hope you take photos. Orp chicks are always so fluffy and cute, and am guessing the bantam versions will be even more adorable.
I am glad you will have AMs again. How nice that you will get W&BW as well. They are my favorite colors, and look so elegant as...
Thank you, Lynda! Both of your girls are so beautiful! We are now related . They are just unbelivably cute as chicks, and equally ohhh so sweet, and gorgeous as adults. The ones I got from Candy last year are now adults, and they are sweet like yours. Today, they had their first watermelon...
How scary and worrisome to have Mountain Lions passing through. I have two different friends who live in Sonoma county, and they are both at the time of year where the M.Lions are passing through. Every year they are on alert at this time of the year, and lock the animals up. They are on their...
It is unfair to be this cute and adorable
I wanted to share some photos of my chicks who were bred, and hatched by "chickee". It is always a deep pleasure to purchase chicks from chickee/Candy, who is a very lovely Lady. As before, I am simply in awe of how beautiful and healthy these babies...
What a beautiful coop you've built. The colors will contrast so nicely with your chickens' colors. Lovely! When I have new additions, always confine them where they will be sleeping in for couple of days so they learn where their home is. Couple of my small coops have a ramp just like yours...
Hello Paul,
Welcome! There are many lovely chicken fanciers and breeders in this thread, and most live within easy driving distance to Vallejo. How exciting thet you are building a coop for your chickens which you will have soon. When your chickens arrive, we would love to see some photos...
Good! Wonderful!! I will try my persuasion abilities . Yes, you did mentioned them before, and sent some photos about 2-2 1/2 yrs. ago. If I am not mistaken, they were the ones who came to you flying when ever you called? Ohh, I know you loved them very much because they were one of the birds...
Thank you Deann! During the daylight hours, they are a rich, luxurious green. She started to lay eggs, and they are fertile. If you would like to have some Muscovies, I would be happy to give you some eggs. You have always been so generous with me.... Lual
They are beautiful Deann! Well, I have a soft spot for your Orps : ) The roosters look like Mr T., and one of his sons? Like you, I used to have such nice grass and weeds growing in their area, but, finally it is just barren. Every day, I am out on the back of the property mowing grass for...
I wanted to share some photos of my Muscovy ducks. They are Walt Leonard-fowlman01- birds. I love their quiet, gentle personality, and the sounds of the female which reminds me of water droplets. Very exotic. Their names are: Mr. Wags, and Mrs. Pips. Oh, Mr. Wags is literally huge!

Hi Laurie,
I wish you best of luck with your hatch. I hope all your eggs hatch. Dawn's Marans are adorable, beautiful and quite big when they hatch.
I am sending you a PM.

She is lovely, and definitely have good qualities to use as a foundation of what you are planning to achieve. Did they get this colour from BuffXBuff breeding?

I love the Blues as well, Jeremy.. Blues are such an elegant colour. How wonderful that you will be able to recover your birds by getting eggs from the same source. I was quite taken by the beauty of your blues, and with your knowledge of genetics, you will have drop dead gorgeous birds.
I...
Ohh my goodness! they are adorable and so pretty! I never saw a pattern like that on a chick before! Lual ----------------------------------- Sorry for individual replies. My IPad is not allowing me to make multi replies.
