Congrats Debbie! Adorable pile of fuzz there.Here's 18 new fuzzy butts were due today (18th), but hatched on Day 19 and 20.
The one I marked was an egg from my partridge hen/white rooster I grabbed from the coop that I knew was hers. I just wanted to see what she'd make. It's going to be reddish maybe splash it seems as it's yellow and red, but not vaulted nor bearded. Still, it'll be pretty!
I usually sell all of these, but I'm going to keep a chocolate and a mauve or blue splash out of this batch. On the 23rd, I have some purchased eggs hatching as well as a few of my own. I can see then what I'm keeping and make a final decision then.

What's funny is I posted that picture in a FB poultry group without the arrow on it, and some dude picked that one out and asked if that was going to be an orange chicken as he lost one last fall and wants another one. I was so shocked he picked that head out of 17 others, the one that's nothing like the others either. Weird!!They are so cute!
That will be fun to watch thay partridge / white chick grow up!
No, but this coming Monday would be two weeks since she told me the buffs weren't laying. I paid her $160 on April 28 and understand she had orders before mine to fill. I think I'll see if she's got a lot of those lemon cuckoos to fill in for whatever buffs she doesn't have. I was already saying about 3 other types of silkies like porcelain and crele. At this point, I'll almost take whatever she's got or just ask for my money back.Any update this week on the Bobbi eggs?? Hoping for good news and that she had enough to ship to you
Hopefully those little buff fluffs get to laying! My silkies took the last 2 weeks to relax apparently, I was getting 5 a day, then just 1 or 2. Yesterday we got 5 again!No, but this coming Monday would be two weeks since she told me the buffs weren't laying. I paid her $160 on April 28 and understand she had orders before mine to fill.

I'm down to 3 hens in the breeding pen and got 3 eggs two days in a row. You'd know that was rare around here if you'd see me all excited running with them into the house to show the hubs!Hopefully those little buff fluffs get to laying!

I definitely ping pong between being disappointed everyone laid to excited everyone laid the layers are laying like crazy, so if they have a slack day it's almost a relief. Eggs just aren't selling well so I keep ending up giving them away yet feed prices don't match thatI'm down to 3 hens in the breeding pen and got 3 eggs two days in a row.
