You would be amazed by how much more sane you would appear if you were to switch to all Brahma flock.

I'm working on it. After a lost a few of the mixed flock to predators, I had decided I was going to go all Brahma. If I had any Brahma eggs, I'd slide them under the silkie mix instead of letting her hatch the mixed eggs out. I'm never happy with the chicks from the mixed flock and always end up giving them away. She's impossible to break her broody, so I usually just let her hatch some. I'll probably check the eggs in a week or so and get rid of a bunch of them. She just had to pick the time of year when there is nothing available, not day old chicks and not eggs. I must admit it is much easier letting her raise them than raising them in a brooder.You would be amazed by how much more sane you would appear if you were to switch to all Brahma flock.
First off, that bird is male.Last year I purchased a dozen Blue Partridge and Gold Partridge eggs. I had the following hatch and am unsure what color you would classify it as. I know the blue doesn't breed true, but would like to keep the four that hatched this color in hopes that they might produce blue or gold. (although I would need to breed out the vulture hocks) Also, I believe this one is a hen.
