Hello! and Welcome to the thread.

Had a good hatch this time around.

17 Black Jersey Giants
4 Marans (only set 6)
6 Naked Neck
7 Oliver Eggers
11 Light Brahmas

There were a few more that hatched out late this afternoon and still wet so I'll pull them out tomorrow and get my final count.
Next setting will be Thursday 3-27-2014 for Easter chicks.

Our last hatch was cooked. Our Genesis incubator spiked to 107. Jahdan is buying a new incubator next month. A friend is setting a few eggs for us now.

I'm in the NW corner of the state; we are raising seramas right now but used to have a lot of other poultry, just had to downsize.  Currently in the market to buy some birds or hatching eggs from some good quality birds.

I live In Rogers and have been thinking of getting Seramas as house chickens. Would they integrate into a flock of full size chickens if my hubby doesn't feel the same? Have any for sale?

Final count: 49 out 60. 81.6 % hatch rate. 2 more Naked Necks and 1 more Marans (Splash this time).

Wouldn't put a chicken in the house, sorry too nasty. ~~I will add though that I have put babies in the house for just a day or two if they needed a special start, but that is very rare with me.

WE still have Buff, Black and Blue Orpingtons large fowl and Buff and Black Orpington Bantams. Plus Buff Wyandotte Bantams. Jahdan added Australorps last year and Barred Plymouth Rock Bantams this year.

He also has added the following after hatching some UofA eggs: Buttercup, Light/Coronation Sussex, Delaware, Salmon Faverolle, Silver Spangled Hamburg, Silver Phoenix, white Silkies, and some Buff Minorcas for me.








Here are some photos of our visit to the University of Arkansas (UofA) back in December. Jahdan and I were excited to actually go inside the Heritage breeds barn and see the breeding stock.
