I leave the hose lay for 5 minutes between filling pails and waterers and it is hot already.  I am going to run out in my undies tomorrow night if it really gets down below 70 like they are forecasting.  I may have a bottle of my favorite brew in hand too! lau.gif  My kids will be scarred for life, but someone has to do it.

Obviously NOT real Cornish, but are 3/4 Cornish, 1/4 Ameraucana chicks with quite of bit of DC showing. They are part of my blue/green egg laying, meat bird project, but like the Ameraucana X CX crosses better.

While the predator got my hens and favorite pullets, I still have these two pictured below and a wounded one to put under my DC cockerel, plus hopefully some dark pullets that I will use as replacements next year. They're looking rough from sitting eggs, which they pecked to death as soon as they hatched. duc.gif They just turned one year old this month, so may just be too young to know what to do. However, the one year old Orpington and Ameraucana have hatched theirs today, and seem to be great mothers.

My neighbor came over today, and while here asked if a badger would eat my chickens. He had seen one killed on the road last year and a den on his property this year. I had not seen one in this part of the country since the early 60s, so had not considered that. I'm glad the electric fence is running, because I doubt that the heaviest gauge wire fencing available would stop one. He had brought me some fresh sweetcorn, saying he started live trapping 'coons early this year because they had raided him so hard in the past, so I thanked him for doing both..

The two, nearly black, large fowl Cornish I posted pics of earlier as they look today, and a younger sibling. The older two have lost most of the red that showed in their first wing feathers. For those just reading now, these and some "paints" hatched from a WC over 3 DCs.

you definitely need to keep these and then get a blue bird from medicine-man(sp?) or some that came from his stock... you would have some great B/B/S Cornish...

He's ugly as sin right now, but I like this cockerel[?]. He's getting more mahogany bleed, so I suppose "paint" isn't what to call him. He and his paint and black siblings should carry a copy for recessive white, so should be very useful to me.

That "paint" is a jubilee ( dominant white dark)

Hi, is that because he has the mahogany too? Or is that a hobby name given to Dark Cornish Splash?

 

Forgive me if that sounds stupid.
