I have about seven hens with chicks and about seven more setting. Its a bit overwhelming. I am so busy I feel I am going around in circles.<BR/><BR/>During the week I start work at 3am and work til 1pm, 10 hours a day as a Supervisor in transportation for Sysco foods. <BR/><BR/>Thank God for my birds. They are my stress relif.<BR/><BR/>NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958960.post-72936363981325813502007-04-30T16:18:00.000-07:002007-04-30T16:18:00.000-07:00I looked at your site, and I've seen your birds in...I looked at your site, and I've seen your birds in person too of course! They are so nice. Good to know that GDW X GDW will produce SDW too. It'll be interesting to see how this all turns out. I think there are definitely some GDW chicks, but of course knowing my luck probably the best ones will have single combs!Katherine Plumerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15270985693010461806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958960.post-57808335722854881682007-04-29T16:43:00.000-07:002007-04-29T16:43:00.000-07:00That's what I thought.

After the type is dailed in and you can breed GDW to GDW you will get Silvers. <BR/><BR/>I breed and raise American Game Bantams. If you get a chance, please take a look at my website. <BR/><BR/>My Duckwings started with a Golden Duckwing cock and a BB Red hen. I have one male that is the 40oz, cock on my website that is GDW. He is 3/4 GDW and 1/3 BB Red. I bred him last year to a 3/4 GDW and 1/3 BB Red hen and they produced me the Silver cockerel that is also on my website. <BR/><BR/>I am sure that you will be able to produce Silvers and they will be "Beautiful"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958960.post-5750198675416278572007-04-29T12:57:00.000-07:002007-04-29T12:57:00.000-07:00Aaron- yeah, I'd agree with that.

I'm fairly certain I will not continue the cuckoo project though, I just have too much going on and need to find some ways to cut back.<BR/><BR/>Nick- no, I'm not raising OE. I got a Silver Duckwing OE last year to breed into the RCs to get the silver gene. The goal was Silver Duckwing Rosecombs but I think I'm a lot more likely to end with up Golden Duckwing. Time will tell I guess!Katherine Plumerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15270985693010461806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958960.post-58581602349150387192007-04-29T11:23:00.000-07:002007-04-29T11:23:00.000-07:00I notice that you are breeding OE.

Are you going to raise OE or just using the OE color genes. <BR/><BR/>I also raise and show Bantams.<BR/><BR/>NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958960.post-66048942693228669912007-04-29T10:45:00.000-07:002007-04-29T10:45:00.000-07:00I would wager both T4 blacks are pullets.AaronI would wager both T4 blacks are pullets.<BR/>AaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
