Janie- As I see it, the only way to fix how you are feeling is to order more eggs and hatch them out. winkbig_smile

God Bless,


tailfeatherz- I stumbled across this photo in reference to red mottling in the breast.

Wellies are good for sure. 
I have a few Welsummer X Marans that should start laying soon.  I think the Welsummer blood made the chicks healthier.  I didn't have any chicks with bad feet at least with the cross.  Now to wait and see about egg color.  pop

Which breed was giving you the bad feet?

I had a friend that had Welsummer/Black Marans crosses pullets and they laid dark eggs. Some have the reddish tint and the others have the chocolate tint. Those were lovely girls!
