Those birds are gentically feayherless, you will probably hatch more like that.

Actually I may not because I gave my parent stock to a friend. I do have some siblings but they are feathered and about 6 eggs from parent stock in the incubator and 8 under the broody. The broody I know carries the gene. I only kept her because she is my favorite hen. I know where the others are at though and its a good fried. Her kids loved the little bantams so much so I rehomed them to be pets.

I do plan to start all over with different stock for selling purposes. I no longer have a rooster so these hens will be put in a separate pen and not bred. However I may still use RED my favorite hen as a broody. I am only hatching the few because she was already sitting before I caught the fact that she had a clutch. She laid behind the actual nest. I reckon she got tired of me stealing her eggs. the others my niece loved them so I decided that she could have some. I have mainly had hens hatch from these guys. so I am not so worried about the scaleless gene coming back out. However if it does I will love them like I loved streak!! I miss him I use to go back to the room every night and talk with him while I checked my eggs and fresh hatches. He was really good with fresh hatches always protecting them. He will be missed.
