Just a quick update on the 5 pairs we have set for breeding:
- Mondrian x Sprite - 4 eggs, possibly starting to sit.
- Constantin x Danube - 5 eggs, 3 fertile. Due to hatch within the next few days.
- Orange Guy x Silvie - 5 eggs, 3 fertile. Due to hatch in the second week of March sometime.
- Peep x Marie - same as Orange Guy and Silvie. With both pairs we somehow missed when they started sitting.
- Brahma x Judith - 3 eggs! Didn't even know she was laying till today.
Our new OH PB YB hen, Pixie (who is Sprite's sister) is going to take the place of the next pair to leave the breeding cabinet. Mikey keeps singing to his mother, but fortunately Zelda's not showing any interest.
So far 2 of the 3 fledglings in the aviary are boys. We plan on selling at least one of them - the orange head green back boy who looks like he's got a white breast coming in! That would be a surprise in terms of his known genetic background.
