OMG!! rotfl, i am so drooling over ur polish it is so not funny!!! i LOVE Polish can't say it enough,lol. i had to sell all of my bantam polish and polish frizzles last year so this is my new flock of them i started with chicks and hatching eggs for r/c reds, w/c blues and w/c blacks i think all standards but i lost alot of them due to heat waves since my pet sitter kept forgetting to open the drop doors while we where gone on vacation(i was freaking and heart broken!!). i'm down to 2-3 each of the reds and blues but would love to hatch any colors i can for breeders next year, mine are to young this year. anytime ya want to swap eggs for polish let me know :0)

my showgirls started with a silkie turken cross(same thing as a NN) but have been breed back to silkies over and over to keep as much of the silkie heritage as possible in them. mine are 11th generation so the babies they hatch will be 12th gen. at the point they are now, they are what i consider a silkie with the NN gene because they nolonger throw most of the turken part of them it is more silkie. they all come out either silkies or showgirls with silkie feathering. here is a pic of a baby to help show ya what i mean. at the moment these are the only 2 breeds i have laying.

next spring i will have eggs or chicks for- bantam salmon favorolles, white silkies/showgirls, buff silkie/sg's, splash silkie/sg's, partriage silkies, r/c red polish-LF, w/c blue polish-LF, porcelain and golden neck d 'uccles. i'm working on doing a blue/black/splash sizzle pen and hopefully a few others as well. so keep me in mind for spring trades to if anyone might be looking for any of these.

let me check the bator situation see how much room i got for eggs. i have one almost full of eggs and one set for a hatcher and i think one not set up yet but i was thinking i had 4 bators,lol. i think the first ones are due in 3 days to move but i got speratic hatches in there since i'm hatching whites and sg's for me and other color silkies for my friend. we'll all check callenders and see when a good ship day would be for everyone so we know when the bators have room or need warmed up. also see how many eggs we need or have available to swap.
