Arizona Chickens

I'm planning on dividing up breeding groups soon. I'm going for NN/EE, Alohas and buffs/wheatens, and mixed crosses maybe. But don't think I'll be hatching my own for awhile. Not until late spring at least. I'm debating ordering some chicks of the last breeds I want to add like maybe some broilers from Dunlap, and some Buckeyes or Sussex, and just let my hens go broody and hatch eggs for me this year.... not incubate any myself. I've got way too many chickens and need to be careful. Things went to crap this last Fall and buying feed for all the birds became a problem... It was a wake up call.

Most of those eggs that I put in the incubator yesterday were Hazel's 2 sisters.

Awww. I want a pullet if you get some.

Sorry that you had a rough time of thing's up there. Good luck with your chickens, and your breeding program. I'm still looking for a completely cleaned necked NN roo now, and will be willing to pay more for him. Charley's still here, but I'll need a new roo for some of these new girl's that I have been holding back. I want to work on cleaning up the necks on them.

Hazel's sister's are breed to Charley, so they might come out as naked neck's with the bib's. I'm not sure what color the chick's will turn out. That's a mystery right now, but those green egg's should be passed on.

Hi everyone! Is there anyone here I would remember? It’s been awhile.

Hello! I don't remember you. You can remedy that though by popping in here more often!

yeah, it'll be awhile before I have any that are near to clean necked available. The ones I have I need for breeding. You increase the chances of getting them when you cross two naked neck parents, just keep at it.

Haha, thanks! Been trying to login for a couple years now. For some reason, it worked tonight.

I'm trying to do that here too, I only have the 4 NN hen's with the bibs to work with.

Lucky you! Have you figured out why it was so hard for you to log in?
