chuckmum6 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well I wasn't going to hatch this year, but somehow I now have Cream Legbar eggs and Brown/black wyandotte bantam eggs coming on Wednesday, for Daisy my ever broody hen! I also have two new flock members who I collected last week, a buff laced wyandotte bantam called May and a lemon cuckoo Orpington bantam named Sorbet!!!!

mollyripkim Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 You have a nice collection of girls, would love to see a photo of the lemon cuckoo orp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Will try and post one of the newbies tomorrow! They have a very low profile at the moment, as they are being stalked by enraged Pekins, who are far from pleased by their arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty_76 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yes the lemon cuckoo orp sounds interesting. Looking forward to seeing a pic of her! Can I ask, what happens if you hatch boys? Its something I would love to do but probably would be too scared to have a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I have also acquired some Vorwerk and silver laced eggs I have gone from not hatching to my biggest hatch so far I am sooooooo weak! Yes, I know that feeling Having been persuaded by OH that we should hatch again this year, what started out as 1 set of Cream Legbar eggs turned into a clutch of Crested Cream Legbar, Cuckoo Marans, Pekin and Poland chicks, being brooded by three different hens .

I am afraid the boys are culled, I have rehomed some (and will try that first), I have kept one until OH moaned so much that I rehomed him (the cockerel that is, should have kept the bird and re homed the husband !!!!), we also kept one for our Christmas dinner. Not a good idea to be a boy chick really . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
