Well, I have a name for the yokie boy now... Red Devil. No, he's not a devil at all, but two of the pics sure make him look it. LOL

I have a young cockerel from the Germans That Sarge got from me.. He has more red in the breast too.. I will see if I can get a pic this weekend..

I got Red Devil from eggs that I got from Decoyman over in VA. He is the only one out of 5 RSY, and she the only white out of 5 too that hatched... The others were fertile, but quite shortly in, or quit close to lockdown, and even had some pip, zip, and die... So difficult. I hope that next year, I get a broody to hatch them out.

yokohamas are a very fragile breed to be completly honist

I had pretty good luck hatching them, try increasing the humidity when they are hatching, that will prevent piping and dying.. =)

I saw him on the other thread also! He looks good! I like the drops of white on his breast! How old is he?
