Tell and share with us here.

Regards,

Lots of Serama, and modern game bantams in white, black red, silver birchen, lemon blue and silver blue. Did have a cuckoo pekin stag that I wanted to put with some silver and gold partridge pullets to breed silver and gold crele but sadly he isn't well so I think I will have to cull him.

i will concontrate on the everbergs and serama, i will be breeding the columbian watermeals and hopefully geting a millefluer hen to go with them to make silver millefluer. will try and sort out some duccles this year and maybe some modern game. some more sutch bantams would be nice tho. with the brahmas i will be hatching golds bluepatridge and hopefully making blue silver.

Im concentrating on my serama,I have put my littlest male Dinky into my breeding pen to see what he can do. Fingers crossed he's big enough to sort them ladies out! Julia x x

This year concentrating on making flock sizes larger as i know what my faverolles breed ,then i have larger pens to pick show stock from .salmon favs,cock breeder &pullet breeders,Cuckoo favs, Ermine favs,Hopefully going to produce millefleur faverolles in large fowl.

Just ordered my first incubator, cant wait, we re going to try and hatch our own home grown eggs, so they ll be Marran x warren or goldline! Hopefully we ll have some success as burdie is a frisky cockerel

Good luck everyone with their hatching.

We shall be hatching brahmas, faverolles and leghorns from our own stock.

Hopefully orpingtons later on in the year as we have a blue cockerel coming. Unfortunately our hens aren't too well at the moment but we are hoping with some antibiotics at the moment they will recover.

Also getting in some ixworth hatching eggs, mainly for meat.

We'll be hatching Buff orps, Black orps, White orps, but mainly concentrating on improving our Jubilee and Spangled orps. The Spangled we started last year, from two hens, and as no one had any cocks in that colour we have had to make one using a black, all the subsiquent hens are black but carry the mottled gene, and will now go back to the best cockerel we bred, we did manage to find a spangled boy late last year, but he was a baby, a late hatch, so this has stunted his growth a little, and he's not a great 'type' but he's not too bad, so he might get a chance to perform a bit later on, just to see what comes out over the two original spangled hens! phew! need to lie down now!

I'm putting my blue orp boy to my buff orp girls, also breeding buff cochins, red mottled leghorns, white leghorns and pekins and frizzles when they start laying!
