2011 hatches?
John:
I don\'t have any firm numbers, but have hatched a few hundred Ameraucanas so far.
The bad news is the LF lavenders are giving me problems. They aren\'t laying as well as I had hoped for, the fertility isn\'t too bad but the hatchability is and some have feathers on thier legs.
The good news is I\'ve hatched 10 to 12 bantams buffs (my favorites)!
Tailfeathers:
Gee Louise! I don\'t even have my breeding plan put together yet!
I got the information recorded last Saturday night though. Now I just need to analyze it and start putting the birds together according to pens.
God Bless,

That\'s funny...last night I setup my breeding plans for next year, on the computer. Of course there will be some changes between now and then, but I\'ve got my goals in site.
Beth C:
Way to go, Jensen - sounds like you\'re off to a great start!
John: Yay on the bantam buffs! Are these ones you hatched for yourself or to fill orders?

This time last year I had just started incubating, but they quit laying so early because of the intense heat (pretty much done by the end of May) I figured I needed to get an earlier start this year. Probably a good thing because, if this past week is any indication, I suspect we\'ll have another miserable summer - it was in the mid 80\'s the last 2 days, but back down in the 70\'s today. I have a feeling I\'m going to be ready to pack up the incubator by June either way, though! ;)
Cloverleaf Farm:
At least when it\'s that warm out, you can move babies outside faster!! :)
I had to add another brooder this week because I can\'t move them out until they are FULLY feathered, and I have 92 eggs in incubators and more on the way...
