For this year we are sticking to our usual rare breeds and our mascovy. However I have adopted a flock of mixed chicken that lay a rainbow of colors. I have also added sebastopol eggs in the incubator. If all goes well I may have a beautiful breeding pair. However maturity can take up to two years. My goal in the next two years is replacing the barn flock of rainbow layers with pure bred Ameraucana as the base for our new rainbow egg layer chicks. Offering pure bred Ameraucanas as well as olive eggers. The brown hens to get olive would be Barnevelder and Salmon Faverolle. I am also looking at getting a few leg horns to breed with my Sumatras for moonbeam chicks.

We are sticking with what is working for us. All game chicken breeds except Spitzhaubin. With the predator increase in Upstate NY we need chickens that can defend themselves. I am working on an EE that mostly game bird. Again predators. Our game bird standard breed is the Sumatra. Our bantam game birds are old English and Cubanlayan. The Spitzhaubin while not a game bird, are actually very predator aware. Spitzhaubin are one chicken breed from Medieval Europe that was not bred to c**k fight. Our mixed bantam EE might also have a Silky mixed in as they make excellent brooders.

First batch in the incubator. Not sure what if anything will hatch. This really is a gamble. Most are coming from the 5 new hens and I got no idea what their rooster was or if they are still fertilized. I also don't know whether they have accepted our rooster yet. Plus a couple Sumatra eggs thrown in I believe. Who knows what if anything will come

Momma came outside today and showed off all her babies. Not thinking these actually belong to this momma due to their coloring. However she is quite a happy momma now that she kidnapped all these ducklings.

Well we sold Bleeding Hearts and two Spitzhauben hens. It felt right to do so. I have 5 hatched Chamois Spitzhauben from him, and I am adding fresh Golden Spangle Spitzhauben from Cackle. Hoping I get two roosters a chamois and a golden Spangle that will grow up as "brothers", but not related. I sold my turkey family, and have an order for 5 broadbrested turkey, 5 silver Spangled, and 5 silkies. I was never a silky fan, however my youngest is. I picked him up a hen a few weeks ago, but my chickens never accepted her. So I thought at least the chicks could grow up to love her, but she is so lonely. Today I got the opportunity to pick up a beautiful black silkie Rooster (well that's a guess until he crow or lays an egg). Now Eugene has the beginning of his silkie flock. Yes I got him a small coop and run for his chicken family. He also loves his Old English Game Bantam and D'uccles.

Haven't been great at posting updates. We have added silky and D'uccles to our bantam program. It will be next year before we will have any eggs. Of course we will have our old English game bantam. We have 4 teenagers to add to our flock, plus two more little females are growing strong. So that will give me 8. Much greater chance of having eggs than just 2 hens. Of course our full grown breeds are the Sumatras and the Spitzhaubens.

Miracle happen. This baby came from a nest of two of the missing hens. Not sure how it survived, maybe this heat wave. I am guessing hen due to brown color. Eugene is quite happy to baby this orphan.

2 cups of violets and 2 cups of dandelion jelly. 2 hours work for me and Eugene. Now steep about 2 hours on the counter in 2 cups of hot water, and 24 hours in the fridge. For the tea needed for the jelly.

So we are switching from raising pyncheon to D'uccles. The main reason is the hatchery to get pyncheon from sell pet quality and have zero care for shipped birds. I am selling off all my chicks to other local breeders.
