Yes I got one chick from them - yellow down with black spots so I'm hoping it's another hen just like Cowgirl - already have Cowgirl Jr so this will be Cowgirl the third!
The NN (never-pipped) chick was also Roger's with NN Blue hen - so he's still doing a fine job. I think I was collecting...
Please check your local laws regarding electrifying top of walls (at property perimeter) - I checked that a couple years ago in Mesa and I believe at that time it was not legal. Also I checked laws if I could razor wire (or similar) top of walls and don't remember what I found out but decided...

The All-purpose poultry I use now is a store brand - Olsen's Feed Store in Chino Valley (also Prescott Valley, Mayer...
Not yet, but I think it is moving still- I noticed it is #8 of the original 8 that I let her sit on so it must be behind the other one by a few days. I don't remember what number I marked on the Friday-midnite-hatched egg (maybe 5?). If it was still under her it would be abandoned by now so good...
1 chick hatched 9-15 around midnight...pics... NN Bielefelder mix looks to be red or splash with a bowtie, but we will see how it actually colors up...
