Oh my gosh guys, Ive been going back threw the thread so I can id the F2 hens and the F1FM girls (their zip ties broke) and theses chicks are F1MFxF2🤦♀️ not F1MFxF1MF (this is the next group).

F1MFxF1MF- 3 weeks
I don’t know what going on with this chick. If anyone know that would be awesome.

Thought I’d share some numbers for 2023
58 chicks hatched
51% mottled
6% all white
6% heavy mottled or Piebald
17% buff Columbine
15% white with black dot on head
1% mottled with orange spot
(These numbers don’t account for the decimals)
Next update will be in February when I start breeding...
F1MF x F2- 3 weeks
So far so good! Mottled, vulture hocks and feathered middle toe. I don’t think it’ll have leakage though bc all the ones that I have hatched with the Japanese mottled don’t have leakage
F1MFxF1MF- 12 week
Only have 2 out of the three left. The one tiny little hen I think had something wrong with her, she didn’t grow correctly.
I am keep this hen. She has vulture hocks, middle toe feathering, muffs/beard, red/orange eyes, mottled and she has really nice leakage on her neck...
