Ok. No worries. We have trips to Tucson regularly to visit daughter so reach out when you are ready. We will see what we have.
I started with a flock of one rooster and 7 hens. Still have that rooster and 4 of then hens. And then a lot more younger ones. The old ones have been through...
I dont think we have lost any due to heat. But i have misters. They are really friendly. Especially when they get lots of attention like my daughters do.
In my pure bred run one of the hens kerps going broody so we have a constant trickle of new chicks.
I have 4 cockreals about 5-6...
If in AZ. I have a couple starter flocks. Trying to down size a bit. A Rooster and a hand full of hens. PM me if interested. One group experienced layers. The other two group about to start laying. We have wonderful hatch rates and no leakage.
Best of luck on your hatch. Just had a great hatch. Though havent found homes for as many as I hoped. Anyone in AZ who wants some let me know. Also had a broody hen abandon half wAy through. Put them in the Bator and so far getting a new chick a day. 4 to go.

I have had a group through a local breeder that hers came from GFF. I haven't seen that but a couple her chicks devolved into Roosters that had Mulberry wattles. Not all. The Rooster i use for breeding doesn't have that and came through Ewe Crazy.
Merry Christmas all!!
We finally have a nice stable group of Svart Hona, 7 layers and gorgeous Roo. whole flock through Ewe Crazy. Our first group was decimated by disease from wild birds over the summer. Large Bird proof pen essential in Arizona. Getting about 4 eggs/day in December...

You will both loves these birds. They are very friendly. We have 9 about 2 months old. I was in the run with them yesterday and just squatted down for awhile and they come up and visit and pecks at my toes, I was in flip flops and some would pop up on my thighs. At one point i had...
Hatching eggs needed. Ideally in Arizona so we can pick up locally. Trying to add some diversity to our group. Svart Honas obviously though also looking for Creme Legbar and French Black Copper Marans.
Those look like girls but hard to tell from the angle, the males crest outpaces the girls pretty early. We are at 7 weeks and have been able to tell the boys from the girls for about 2-3 weeks. If you had one of each you would know.
