This is two of Bardu D' Watermael. It has been difficult to acquire this breed. I am hoping we are raising a second rooster from a second set of hatchlings. If we do he is going with the mixed flock of bantam. This will allow me to switch roosters in a year or without trying to find more, and add new blood. At the moment we are all set to offer these beautiful bantams.

I am keeping this Marans trio. I had gotten extremely discouraged with this breed, due to very low quality or mixed breeding claiming to be pure. However this trio plus my blue hen (a year old), is the start of a strong good quality flock. I had thought I didn't have run space for them, but my small turkey flock is actually happier to be with Barnvelder. I can't have too many hens for a lot of reasons. So rather than doing 9 laying hens per run (original goal). We are doing 6 laying hens per run, this allows me to keep more retirees (hens who don't lay but love cleaning my yard). We are all set to be able to supply Svarthona, Barnvelder, Copper Marans, Crested Cream Legbars, Bardu D' Watermael as pure bred. We also added olive egger, moonbeams, green egger as hybrid chicks. We will have a small group of random barnyard bantams (simply because we fell in love with a few tiny cuties over the years). Of course there will be turkey, Muscovy, and call ducks.

So I have bought a lot of eBay eggs in my time. I have gotten extremely good at hatching shipped eggs. If the eggs are flown (this is guessed best on speed from location to location) they must sit 24 hours on the package before unpacking and then sit another 24 hours beFore loading into the incubator. Those with the shortest trip either inside NY, PA, WV, VA, etc only need 24 hours rest. Anything that has to go through the Chicago distribution center won't make it. The best packages with the best outcome are eggs wrapped in paper towels and buried wood chips. Second best is eggs wrapped in paper towels put in egg cartons and wrapped in wood chips. Plastic hurts fertility and doesn't allow the eggs to breathe. I don't like foam either. Double boxing and tin foil on second boxing does help eggs that must travel through Chicago. I only go two to three generations before I add new blood. I only buy eggs from good breeders. I do buy eBay eggs and hatch those eggs for anyone looking for a particular breed. There is the price of the egg purchase. I charge ten up front if most are fertile on day 14 it's another ten at hatch. If on day 14 nothing or very little is viable, you won't be charged the extra ten. I will still hatch the few but not charge you the extra it

So the Svarthona and Bardu D' Watermael are doing well. My free barnevelder is as well. So I still love my Spitzhaubin and Crested Cream Legbars. I am definitely adding the Svarthona and the Bardu D' Watermael, however I need to figure out if the Marans stay or I switch to Barnevelder. Can't have every breed. Spitzhaubin since 2021, Crested Cream Legbars since last year. Svarthona replaced the Sumatra and the Bardu D' Watermael replaced the old English. I don't like competing with other breeders or tractor supply. I loved my Sumatra, however I did want a fibro breed not just a black one. Crested Cream Legbars are my only "common breed" besides the Marans. Trying to decide if barnevelder or Marans are better for getting olive eggers. Or if I should just keep three Marans in the Crested Cream Legbars pen and add Barnevelder. Personally except for dark eggs I am not a Marans fan. Nothing actually appealing about them. With them being common, it is just not a great fit. I wish there was a "rare" breed of dark brown egg layers. However my crazy pen is doing well, it has D'uccle rooster with pyncheon, naked neck, and an owl beard hen. Just up in the air on Marans versus Barnevelder.

Our Bardu D' Watermael have hatched. Such funny, tiny little dwarf chickens. They each have such cute, tiny "beards". If all goes well, we should be breeding these next spring.

Please hear me carefully.
Those buying hatching eggs. I can guarantee fertility. I can't guarantee a hatch. I breed rare breeds. Most fertility is 75 percent. That means reason beyond my control, some eggs are not fertile. I have no control over who the rooster favorite is this week or if a hen is mad at a rooster. Second once sold and in an incubator I have no control on setting. Why do eggs stop developing half way through. Well for large eggs mostly it is because they are not getting rotated (most incubators are not set up to automatically turn large eggs). Yes there are some that come with a large egg turner for turkey, ducks, and geese.I own a few that do but most don't. Second humidity and temp. Chicken needs a different set up than a goose. I am always hatching my eggs. I know personally if there are issues. Please tell me if fertility is low (that is something I can fix). Please do not tell me that a whole batch of eggs stopped developing half way through. That is either an incubator issue or you didn't let them rest 24 hours on a counter prior to incubation. Egg don't like being shaken. I can't see your set up to know what happened. However if you're local I will physically come with eggs to set up your incubator. I am not rude. These are living beings.

This is our only bantam pair at the moment. Rosie Cotton (a pyncheon) and her husband Teach aka Black Beard (D'uccle). If I sell bantam eggs going forward it will be from this pairing until our Bardu D' Watermael hatch. However our mixed breed bantam and eggs will come from this pair until Rosie Cotton stops laying.

These are the beginning of my breeding flock of turkeys. There is a third, but so far asleep in the hair it's not visible. I am grateful for the year I had with the trio that produced them. However turkeys are best when you hand hand rear them. It won't be possible with every turkey hatched here, but I will do my best

We will be at Lime Hallow Swap on Sunday. Plenty of Appenzeller Spitzhaubin chicks and plenty of Hatching eggs. I won't be hatching after this week until September. I probably won't hatch much then. I am keeping my muscovy ducklings this year. I have some very interesting patterns I haven't seen before. Probably will sell a few hens and drakes come fall. I will have a few extra turkeys in fall as well, but I am raising this last group. My Sebastopol might or might not be laying this fall but we have a drake. I am pretty sure next year breeds will be Golden Spangle, Chamois, and Silver Spangle Appenzeller Spitzhaubin, Svarthona, Crested Cream Legbars, Marans, Bardu D' Watermael, Barnevelder, and 3 hybrids (olive eggers, green eggers, and moonbeam). We are also adding pet quality call ducks.
