Look at some of what I hatched from Kramer’s Coop . When I saw how the box arrived, I was scared. (Picture of it in comments.)

Look at that silver pudge! Could that be blue?

And ya'll know neither of us is fond of NN, but look at that little bu**er in the rear, that's a chocolate one. I may just have to hang on to just one of those, as it's so darned cute! 🥰 Kramer’s Coop you have some of the best chicks we've ever hatched here and an awesome hatch rate of 8 out of 12. I couldn't be happier! Thank you!

See my post below about sod to explain, but this morning, two growout pens got done. Everyone is so happy today, and most are getting to stand on grass for the first time. One pen is our two red pyle/red pyle partridge, and a partridge, and the two gorgeous blue creme/buff and black are from Bobbi Porto. In the other, those little cuties were most excited of all! A couple are mine, but the rest are from Prissy Chicks and Cherry Blossom Bantams

We went to get sod for the breeding pens and growout pens today. It's our 2nd year of doing this. (If you choose to do it, make sure where you buy it from doesn't put chemicals on it or plastic or netting on the bottom.)

Merle (Haggard) was wondering when his pen would get it. BC: Cactus Poultry

It got done. He and his ladies were so happy as were the others out there!

Tomorrow, the growout pens.

I just wanted to share with those who met with us on Memorial Day in Wausau, WI (an hour west of us) to buy some of these fluffy butts and eggs. I never imagined the turnout. I started with two of you, and wound up with 7 or 8? That was the most fun I've had in a Menard's parking lot, or any poultry swap in my entire life. I had to giggle seeing everyone getting out of their vehicles carrying little boxes.

Thank you all so much! We'll plan to make this a monthly excursion to help save on driving for so many of you.

I'll post it here and on my personal page (Debbie Nelson) at least a week ahead. Thanks again! ❤️

These, plus more, are now in your homes. ❤️

I get some pretty partridges from the partridge pen, but did someone sneak in? I got two rust ones this time.

It's always been the same ones in this pen, but we lost the chipmunk? Does that mean Marsha actually laid a fertile egg? Marsha's on the left, a splash, who'd rather be broody or just hang out in the coop. She's just there due to a lack of anywhere else to be atm. ☺️

Here's the rest of the parents.

Carol Burnette finally decided to start laying some fertilized eggs. She is the second silkie hen I've had take about a year off while molting.

I'm keeping these two as I know they're from her (frizzles).

Marsha is the other hen. I wanted to send her packing. If she's not molting, she's broody. Both are beautiful and make pretty babies, WHEN they are laying!

I bought Premier shipping boxes for chicks, Growgel, and bedding. I've read the must-dos and tips from some of you who do this all the time, and am ready to try it. 🤭

Priority Express will be added to the price of silkies, 6 for $70, $12 ea for more. Contact me so I can show what we have at the time, and check the shipping cost. You'll approve the chicks before shipping.

Hatching weekly, chocolate, mauve, mauve splash, paint, buff, white, black, silver, and partridge.

This is the brooder now, but tomorrow three customers are coming, and in two days, more hatch, so it's a big rotation all summer long. ☺️

Oh my! I do not have any silkies from Diva Girl Silkies, yet, but I'm now having my birds compared to hers when I don't even own any like them. I explained in the beginning that we have mauve splashes. 🤷‍♀️ Lots of them left lol. Paints, buffs, chocolates, mauves, lacks, whites, and partridges too.
