Silver Pullet Poultry

Have not made a post entry in a really long time, sorry about that.  Birds have all been wonderful, got my new Buff Silkie Cockerel from Brens Cozy Silkies in TX and he is just a doll. REALLY good fertility in the pens, and even though I have not set any myself, I have shipped out 3 batches of eggs to people, and the first two people so far have had almost 100% fertility from my black/blue, white and buff pens. Unfortunately, neither of them had that many hatch, but, that is truly  why people just cannot guaranty you will get them to hatch. MY JOB is to get them fertile and to you in one piece. Your job is of course the hardest part, getting them to go to full term. I had recently read a very interesting article about improving your hatchability by adding 2 TBS of clorox to the incubator water (one time) and it will help kill any bacteria in or on the eggs. Apparently, during incubation this bacteria will keep growing and is isually the cause for late term die offs in your eggs. (Like around day 18-20) Now, I have not presonally tried this, but plan too first thing in the spring.

Pens are cold and muddy and messy, so my birds do not look good enough for pictures. I did go to the Feather Fanciers show in October, but due to the new job, did not make it to any others this year. I do not plan on attending the National Western Stock Show in January due to work and the fact that they put the show back up on the third floor. It is such a hassle to go there anyway and that just makes it more so. All my silkies are in fact locked inside most of the winter, but the large fowl do get to go out. Today I am Frontlining birds for bugs. I think I have around 80 birds?

My next show will be in April at the Colorado Poultry Associations Spring Show in Pueblo, April 24th (Its the last Saturday of the month.) Art Rieber will be the judge.

I DO currently have 4 pairs of birds for sale, that I am willing to have a friend take up to the Stock Show or I can meet someone here in Colorado to pick them up. I have a blue pair,, a black pair, and two white pairs. See my for sale page for more information to be updated today.
