Day 79: "German invasion!!!" This is it, people. If these don't hatch I'm done for the year. My last ditch effort to get some Niederrheiner chickens into my flock. I found a NPIP certified breeder in Louisiana who has a lovely little flock of the lemon yellow checkerboard chickens. It just so happened that she had another chicken variety that is on my chicken bucket list... the Salmon Faverolle, a chubby little poofy bird with a beard and muffs. So, I bought a dozen hatching eggs, 8 Niederrheiners, 4 Salmons, and just for fun, she threw in some Easter EggerXMarans (olive egger), and some Favaucanas (SalmonXAmeraucana). Into the incubator they went and in 21ish days we should know for sure how many made it.
