Breeding and Raising and Hatching of Barnyard Chickens!!!!!!!!!!

[DUCKOBSESSED]

The waiting is killing me! There is a never ending string off hatching here. My blue Muscovey is sitting on a ton of duck eggs now.

My silki eggs hatched. 5 made it in lockdown and all 5 hatched. None were showgirls.

The two mixes I hatched look all grown up. They should lay eggs very soon. The younger mixes are doing great as well.Growing like weeds!

NONE???

I had one first generation silkie/nn hatch (so far pure white) from my last hatch. I was hoping it'd be a roo so I could breed him back to my silkie hens and start my own line, but I have a feeling she's she and I don't have silkie roos and don't need anymore roos...lol

Congrats on the 5 though. That's great. Great the others are doing well too.

They were from a pen with both silkie and showgirls and it was the luck of the draw. I have one NN girl, one silkie girl and a silkie Roo (silkies are still young), Plus the 5 that just hatched and some NN eggs coming. I WILL GET MY SHOWGIRLS!!! lol

I ended up with 5 nns last hatch, including my nn/silkie plus my original nn/ee hen. My nn roo is on his way out the door for being overly aggressive. I also have 4 silkie hens. If the nn/silkie would only turn out to be a roo, I'd be happy....lol

That is why I love silkie Roosters. They are so calm and friendly, at least in my experience. I use to have two at the same time with a larger roo. They never fought.

He's the only roo I have that is like that. He's fine with the my other roo that is in that coop, just likes to attack people. I hatched and reared him and he's just a bad name I can't say here..lol

LOL. I have luckily never had a mean roo. I had an unfriendly one. Skittish and flighty but not mean.

I can handle skittish, but this bugger attacks and he's a pretty good sized boy...lol
